The Hair Chair
What causes hair loss?
Mainly there are 3 reasons of hair loss discovered for both men & women by the majority of the researchers and scientists as follows:
- Increased male hormone DHT which attacks and destroys the hair Follicles
- Scalp conditions such as dermatitis and excessively oily or dry hair
- Decrease of the micro blood circulation to the hair roots
But unfortunately most hair loss treatments and remedies focuses on first 2 reasons (increased DHT and scalp conditions) and not the micro blood circulation which is actually the main cause of hair loss according to latest research on cause factors in hair loss, that’s why you see nobody loses hair on top of the neck and ears not even when there is increased amount of DHT and existence of scalp conditions such as dermatitis or oily hair. let me explain why? The contractions and constant motion of the muscles over the ears and neck when we eat, chew or speak create constant flow of oxygenated blood to the capillaries that lies below the scalp surface which transport all the essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that the hair roots need to grow new hair as well as to prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT that attacks the hair follicles and cause hair thinning. following these principles, the Hair Chair a patented technology is an approved treatment for excessive hair loss that has been available throughout the world for a number of years under the name of ETG chair (Electro TrichoGenesis) and was brought to the United States under the name of CTG chair (Cosmetic TrichoGenesis). Current Technology Corporation developed CTG chair and while TrichoGenesis is a treatment and not a cure, it alters a dormant state of hair cells by stimulating the follicles, inhibiting further excessive hair loss, and stimulating hair re-growth in suitable candidates. The technology utilizes non-invasive pulsed electrostatic energy that can noticeably create the appearance of fuller, thicker and more luxurious hair. Success rates from these treatments have been approx. 89%-96%, although results may vary, depending on the individual. Helpful for cancer patients to retain their hair during chemotherapy treatment, or to reduce the amount of hair loss (men & women). Also recommended for people suffering from alopecia (men & women), male pattern baldness, or other conditions that are conducive of hair thinning or hair loss. Hair Chair offers each customer a number of advantages over pharmaceuticals, topical and surgical implants. The Hair Chair a natural hair loss treatment not only prevents hair loss efficiently by bringing oxygenated blood flow on the top of the scalp like the one above the neck and ears, it also can reconvert DHT back into testosterone to stop the hair loss and getting the same results of minoxidil and propecia but without any side-effects.
How the hair chair works ?
Sessions are received while sitting on an ergonomically shaped couch with a semi-spherical hood. This hood contains electrodes that deliver specified pulsed electrostatic energy during uniquely scheduled sessions. There is no direct contact between the hood of the device and the scalp of the patient. Energy is delivered passively to the scalp by the low-level electric field generated within the hood. This electric field is created by a low frequency, low-intensity electrostatic pulse used to stimulate the scalp with very limited tissue penetration increases constant flow of oxygenated blood to the capillaries that lies below the scalp surface which are in charge of not only the transportation of all the essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids that the hair roots need to grow new hair but also to prevent the conversion of testosterone to DHT that attacks the hair follicles and cause hair thinning. Customers receive sessions once a week. Each session lasts 12 minutes, one full course of treatment is 36 seassions, clients usually notice major reduction of hair falling out after 8 sessions (8 weeks) and fuller thicker head of hair usually observed within 18 to 36 sessions , but Sessions must be continued weekly to maintain the results.
Who can benefit the most using the hair chair?
Basically any individuals (both men and women) who wants to stop excessive hair falling out, have noticed hair thinning or lack of fullness, women who has lots of split ends due to Exposure to extreme weather conditions, hair care techniques such as blow drying, straightening, and using chemical such as hair coloring products. It is helpful for cancer patients to retain their hair during chemotherapy treatment, and for people suffering from alopecia both men & women.
The Science
The human body is truly an electrical marvel. Minute electrical currents and charges are found in all tissue at the cellular level, as well as throughout the brain and nervous system. The most basic biochemical functions that occur in cells are directed, in part by their electrical or ionic “charge” they are positively or negatively charged, which dictates how they behave in the body and what processes they may accomplish. In relatively recent history, this knowledge has allowed researchers and clinicians to learn more ways to apply electrical stimulation to the body to regulate modulate or modify functions and to enhance or stop other functions. These include heart, muscle movement, soft tissue healing, bone growth healing, brain, and “pain”. This understanding of the body’s use of electricity, electrical signals, and pathways have allowed science to show us many ways to achieve desired results when trying to aid and heal debilitating human physical conditions.
Electro-stimulation developments have led to multi-billion dollar markets
During the 1940s and 50s research began to show the way in which electricity affects the heart and its rhythms. By the 1960s, physicians were beginning to routinely use special forms of electrical stimulation, internally and externally, to regulate heartbeats in patients whose own electrical signals were failing or compromised, and to “restart” the hearts of patients that may have stopped beating entirely. Since that time a huge multi-billion dollar market in cardiac technology has arisen from the advancement of these treatments. Another billion-dollar market began to develop during the 1960s and 70s utilizing internal and external electrical stimulation of the spinal cord and peripheral nerves for neuropathy and pain control. Neurosurgeons and Orthopedists realized that nerves in the body were a “two way street”. The same nerves that could carry an electrical signal from the brain to a muscle that would tell it to contract could often “feedback” a return signal to the brain that might say, “it hurts”.Both acute and chronic pain signals can often be blocked or scrambled from reaching the brain by the use of electrical stimulation in a “field” around or across the nerve, or by sometimes applying a minute current directly to the surface of the nerve. These discoveries led to yet newer devices; i.e. transcutaneous (across the skin surface) nerve stimulators commonly referred to as TENS devices. The non-invasive nature and simplicity of use of TENS devices led to rapid and widespread usage for pain control. Approximately 20 years ago, several other areas for application of electrical stimulation were explored and have developed into accepted and widespread modalities. EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) is a method of applying an electrical current to the skin that lies above a particular muscle group. This current is comfortable to the patient, yet can cause the muscle to contract over and over again in an exercising regimen designed by the frequency and intensity settings of the stimulator. Thus a patient with a cast on their leg for a 10 week period can keep the muscles “toned” through “electrically stimulated” exercise and require far less rehabilitation for disuse atrophy when the cast is removed. This modality has been approved for consumer use without a prescription, and we now see “infomercials” on television that sell similar devices as an aid for facial and general body muscle toning. Orthopedic physicians have been using another form of electrical stimulation to enhance bone growth in certain symptomatic patients and others whose fractures otherwise fail to heal at all over time. This has become a routine and accepted part of the orthopedic practice, and several large companies such as Orthologic and Biomet are prime marketers of electronic bone growth stimulators. Decubitus ulcer (bedsores) healing can now most effectively be accomplished by another form of electro-stimulation called PGS (pulsed galvanic stimulation). PGS’s unique electrical parameters can offer partial analgesia as well as vasodilation (enlargement of blood vessels) that allows more oxygen-rich blood to be circulated to a wound to dramatically speed the healing process. You may be aware that scientific and medical literature, as well as television and print media, are regularly reporting on new data regarding the growing uses of electrical stimulation in the human body. For example, two new areas of research for electro-stimulation are treatments to alleviate epileptic seizures utilizing strategically placed electrodes in the brain and vagus nerve stimulation to reduce depression. Such new and surprising applications indicate the myriad possibilities of electro-stimulation yet to be discovered. Some indications will be more obvious than others. In some instances, the mechanism, or theory as to how it works will be clear and well understood. In other cases, clinicians will not be able to define exactly why the desired effect is realized when the documentation of results proves irrefutable viability.
Electro-stimulation technologies are now accepted modalities of treatment
Over 50 years of research has shown approved electro-stimulation modalities to be safe, without toxic side effects. Most of this technology was met with considerable skepticism when first reported on and introduced. Now that these technologies have been proven through documented studies, they have accepted modalities of treatment that are vital and mainstream to the clinical practice of the physician. In the healthcare industry, billions are spent each year in the area of electrical stimulation. The ongoing studies by Current Technology and associated researchers are showing us that a proven new form of electrical stimulation is soon to become another simple, effective, and popular technology of great benefit when putting into widespread use.
The design for the Hair Chair’s technology incorporates a number of features that ensure high reliability, durability, and performance. The system is microprocessor based to ensure maximum safety, flexibility in function and ease of operation. Hair Chair’s technology is supplied by Current Technology Corporation Vancouver, British Columbia based. Current Technology Corporation was founded in 1987. The story begins in the mid-1980s when co-founder, Anne Kramer was searching for a remedy to relieve severe migraine headaches. Her search led to a health practitioner who advised low-amperage electrical fields as a modality of treatment. However, he warned her that a possible side effect might be increased hair growth under the recommended regimen. Rather than consider increased hair growth a negative side effect, Mrs. Kramer perceived it as a potentially very positive one. Shortly thereafter, Robert Kramer, Mrs. Kramer’s husband joined with his wife to found Current Technology. They have been managing the enterprise ever since. Current Technology Corporation holds 4 patents throughout the world and has spent over $15 million in research and development of its TrichoGenesis platform and systems. The patents encompass technology, methodology, and design. http://www.current-technology.com/
