Can I use the niostem headset if I have scalp inflammation?

Scalp inflammation is very often present in people with pattern baldness and plays a significant role in it, though it's often an overlooked factor. When inflammation occurs on the scalp, it can damage the hair follicles, which are responsible for producing and growing hair. Over time, this inflammation can weaken the follicles, making it harder for them to produce healthy, thick hair.

In pattern baldness, chronic inflammation can lead to miniaturisation of hair follicles. This means the follicles shrink, producing thinner, shorter hairs until they eventually stop growing hair altogether. The inflammation itself can be triggered by a combination of factors such as hormones (like DHT), genetics, or even external factors like stress and environmental exposure.

Reducing inflammation on the scalp is important because it can help maintain the health of hair follicles, potentially slowing down or even preventing further hair loss.

We recommend to use a topical product to manage the scalp inflammation for at least 4-6 weeks before starting with the niostem headset. This will result in better and healthier hair and improved results from the device. Note that not controlling the scalp inflammation can result in low or no results with the niostem headset.
