• Excessive dandruff or flaking
• Scalp tenderness or soreness
• Unusual hair shedding or thinning
• Bumps, sores, or inflammation

6. Can Trichologists help with Alopecia?

Yes! Trichologists can assess the type and cause of alopecia (such as traction alopecia, alopecia areata, or androgenetic alopecia) and recommend treatments, lifestyle adjustments, and scalp therapies to help manage and improve hair regrowth.

7. What treatments do Trichologists offer?

Depending on your hair and scalp needs, treatments may include:

• Scalp detox and deep cleansing
• Microneedling and scalp stimulation

10. Do I need a consultation before starting treatment?

Yes, a consultation is essential to assess your hair and scalp health, determine underlying issues, and create a personalized treatment plan for the best results.

Trichology is the scientific study of alopecia (hair loss) and scalp disorders. Its origin was in London, England, in 1902. The American Academy of Dermatology recognizes the field of trichology. A microscopic analysis is vital for all consumers who are concerned about the nutritional health of their hair and much more. Learn what your hair strands and hair bulb reveal. 

We use digital imaging to help diagnose the condition of the hair and scalp, which is fundamentally important to the treatment once analyzed. By recording sample images of our client's visits, we can examine, diagnose, treat, and see improvements in their hair and scalp conditions. Digital imaging helps to get a diagnosis of inspected hair and scalp using our management tools, which intensify the image up to 400x+. Our consultation guide gives us a suitable product and treatment based on your results. 

A $350.00 consultation will include: 

• $100 non-refundable deposit required
• A definitive, confidential questionnaire for your completion
• A personal consultation based upon how you answered the questions
• Imaging hair and scalp analysis
• Diagnosis and full treatment
• Re-evaluation of your hair and scalp
• We recommend six to eight weeks of consecutive visits for best results.

Hair shedding is natural. You lose anywhere from 50 to 175 strands of hair per day. But if you notice larger clumps of your mane missing, there might be a bigger problem at hand.

Hair loss occurs when something stops the hair from growing. The medical term for this condition is anagen effluvium. The most common causes of hair loss include:

• Hereditary hair loss
• Immune system overreacts
• Some drugs and treatments
• Hairstyles that pull on the hair
• Harsh hair care products
• The compulsion to pull out one's hair

Here at La Pearl, we offer the HAIR CHECK and Consultation $75 which is a new patented technology that provides the answers to most hair loss and hair breakage questions. It's a scientific instrument designed to precisely and accurately measures hair loss, growth, and breakage on any area of the scalp. No hair needs to be cut and testing takes about 30 minutes. When hair loss or breakage is detected, Mrs. Anderson can make appropriate suggestions and measure the response to take-home products and salon treatments. Call for more details 215-387-8232.

A bond treatment is a restorative hair service designed to repair, strengthen, and protect the hair by targeting the bonds within the hair shaft. These treatments are especially beneficial for clients with chemically treated, heat-damaged, or weakened hair. By rebuilding the internal structure of the hair, bond treatments enhance hair integrity, elasticity, and overall health.

What Are Hair Bonds?

Hair is made up of three types of bonds:

1. Disulfide Bonds: Provide strength and elasticity; broken by chemical processes like bleaching or perming.
2. Hydrogen Bonds: Affect hair’s shape and are broken by heat or water.
3. Salt Bonds: Impact hair stability and are sensitive to changes in pH.

Bond treatments specifically repair disulfide bonds, which are crucial for maintaining hair’s strength and structure.

Benefits of Bond Treatments

1. Repairs Damage:Rebuilds broken bonds caused by chemical treatments, heat styling, and environmental factors.
   
2. Strengthens Hair:Improves the overall integrity of the hair, reducing breakage and split ends.

4. Enhances Shine:Leaves hair smoother and more reflective for a healthy appearance.
   
5. Protects During Chemical Processes:Can be used alongside coloring or lightening to minimize damage.
   

A Re-Structure Treatment is a restorative and strengthening hair therapy designed to repair the internal structure of damaged hair. It focuses on rebuilding the hair’s cortex, reinforcing the cuticle, and improving overall elasticity, making it ideal for hair that has been weakened by chemical treatments, heat styling, or environmental stressors.

Key Goals of a Re-Structure Treatment

1. Rebuild Hair Integrity:Restores the protein and moisture balance in the hair shaft.
   
2. Strengthen Bonds:Repairs broken bonds within the hair for enhanced durability and resilience.
   
3. Smooth and Protect:Seals the cuticle to reduce frizz, improve shine, and prevent further damage.
   
4. Revitalize Elasticity:Enhances flexibility, reducing brittleness and breakage.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive, advanced treatment that uses light energy in combination with a photosensitizing agent to rejuvenate the scalp and hair follicles. Originally developed for skin care and medical purposes, PDT is now widely used in hair therapy to stimulate hair growth, improve scalp health, and address conditions like hair thinning, alopecia, and scalp inflammation.

How Photodynamic Therapy Works

1. Photosensitizing Agent:A light-activated topical solution or serum is applied to the scalp. This agent enhances the skin's response to light and boosts the effectiveness of the treatment.
   
2. Light Exposure:Specific wavelengths of light (typically blue, red, or near-infrared) are applied to the scalp using LED or laser devices.
   
3. Cellular Activation:The light penetrates the scalp and activates the photosensitizing agent, promoting increased blood flow, cellular regeneration, and improved hair follicle function.
   

Benefits of Photodynamic Therapy for Hair and Scalp

1. Stimulates Hair Growth:Enhances blood circulation and oxygenation in the scalp, nourishing hair follicles.
   Promotes the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle.
   
2. Reduces Inflammation:Calms scalp irritation and redness caused by conditions like seborrheic dermatitis or psoriasis.
   
3. Improves Scalp Health:Treats bacterial and fungal infections that can hinder hair growth.
   Balances oil production and alleviates dandruff.
   
4. Strengthens Hair Follicles:Prevents hair shedding and breakage by reinforcing follicular health.
