You might think that dull, thinning hair is just part of getting older – but actually, it’s often a dead giveaway that your scalp needs some serious TLC. Day in and day out, we’re constantly bombarded with advertisements for hair products, each one promising to be more spectacular than the last. But what if it’s not a new hair product you need, but instead, the right scalp treatment?
A healthy scalp is the foundation for a beautiful head of hair and can make a world of difference in how your hair looks and feels. And yet, so many people underestimate the importance of taking care of their scalp, or worse, never give scalp health a second thought.
But at Focal Point Salon & Spa, we’re the experts in all things self-care. We want you to look good and feel great, which means that all of our treatments aim for health and healing on a deeper level – and that includes nurturing your scalp back to optimal health. If you’re feeling less than thrilled with your hair, it might just be your scalp that’s the issue. And luckily, our one-of-a-kind Head Spa is here and ready to help.
We’re breaking down everything you need to know about how to get a healthy scalp, why your scalp health matters, and which treatments can provide the solutions you need.
What Does A Healthy Scalp Really Mean?
Odds are, if you know somebody with an envy-inducing head of hair, their scalp health is on point. For both men and women, scalp health has a direct impact on hair health. Your scalp functions as living tissue, supporting both your hair follicles and the hair that grows from them. When it’s thrown off-balance, for whatever reason, you’re going to see the appearance of your hair take a downward turn.
Scalp issues run the gamut from mild toxin build-up to serious damage and can show up in any of the following ways:
-
- Thinning hair
- Hair that constantly feels oily or dirty
- A dry, flaky scalp (including dandruff)
- A scalp that is itchy and irritated
- Hair that lacks volume or shine
- Bald spots
- Slow or non-existent hair growth
- Scalp acne
A truly healthy scalp has an optimal balance of natural oils, zero flakiness, and no dry patches. When hair is smooth, shiny, and full of life, that’s usually a good indication that your scalp is doing well.
A healthy scalp for men
If you’re a man struggling with thinning hair or bald spots, scalp health might not even be on your radar – but it should be. Rather than make the jump to hair restoration treatments, seeking out professional scalp treatments might be the wiser choice. For maximum success with hair restoration, proper scalp care is vital, which is why the Focal Point team typically recommends a two-tiered approach that combines both Head Spa and hair restoration treatments.
A man with a thriving scalp will enjoy thick, shiny hair, perfect for running your fingers through. When the scalp is healthy, bald spots or thinning areas will need to stimulate rapid regrowth.
A healthy scalp for women
For women, the regular use of hair products is a major challenge to overall scalp health. You might think that thick creams, gels, and sprays are helping your hair look better, but they are probably just clogging up your scalp with residue. The result? Hair follicles are overloaded with buildup, slowing down hair growth and making volume a near-impossibility.
When cared for properly, women’s scalp health means manageable, glossy, and voluminous hair without areas of thinning or annoying dandruff.
Where Do I Start? Answer: The Focal Point Head Spa
If you want to have the kind of hair that turns heads and makes you feel like your best self, starting with your scalp is key. Without a scalp that’s in great shape, your hair will never reach its full potential.
Look at it this way: if the walls of your home were crumbling, you’d probably call in a construction crew to fix the faulty foundation, right? You definitely wouldn’t be hanging up new curtains in the hopes that it would hide the serious issues lurking below the surface, that’s for sure.
Until you make sure that your scalp is properly healed, nourished, and cared for, you can forget about making marked improvements to your hair’s overall appearance. Work smarter, not harder when it comes to getting the lustrous locks you’ve always wanted – and let the experts at the Focal Point Salon & Spa Head Spa help.
We offer a wide range of advanced scalp treatments designed to tackle issues such as thinning hair, damaged hair follicles, lack of volume, and more. Because we start every Head Spa experience with a professional consultation, which analyzes your scalp on a microscopic level, you can be confident that your treatment plan will be tailored specifically to suit your needs.
Each of our signature treatments utilizes ingredients that target scalp health, restoring hair loss, repairing damage, and eliminating toxin build-up. Whether your scalp needs deep clarification, hair follicle regeneration, soothing therapy, or a combination of it all, the Head Spa will customize a treatment that does it all.
How peptides, specifically GHK-cu, help with scalp and follicle health
For anyone that’s looking into advanced anti-aging treatments, the word “peptides” probably looks familiar. Peptides are specific sequences of amino acids that can revive and rejuvenate your body on a molecular level, providing an impressive range of benefits across the board. Peptide therapy is a treatment option that delves into medical science to put peptides to work for you, creating customized therapy plans to achieve your goals.
GHK-Cu, a copper peptide that is naturally produced within your body, is an outstanding supporter of scalp and follicle health. And because levels of GHK-Cu tend to drop off as we age, infusing the body with an effective dose via peptide therapy can do wonders for fighting back against the signs of aging – including hair loss.
It is reported that GHK-Cu can specifically support a healthy scalp and hair follicles in the following ways:
-
- Enlarged hair follicle size and repair existing follicles
- Stimulate blood flow to the scalp
- Boost collagen and elastin, increasing hair growth
- Improve the results of hair transplants and restorative treatments
- Block DHT in the scalp, a hormone that has been found to slow hair growth
- Extend your hair growth cycle
