Healthy hair begins with a healthy scalp. If you’re searching for a Trichological Scalp Treatment in Cleveland, you may be wondering what really happens during the process. Our treatments go beyond basic salon care to restore balance, improve scalp health, and protect the hair you have. Just like your skin benefits from a facial, your scalp benefits from this customized, restorative care.

But here’s what makes the difference: Trichological Scalp Treatments are not “one-size-fits-all,” nor should they be self-diagnosed. Every guest begins with a ScalpCheck®, which allows our trained team to identify the root causes of your scalp concerns and build a customized treatment protocol.

At Jeffrey Paul’s Hair & Scalp Specialists in Cleveland, we believe your journey begins with knowledge—and continues with a plan that’s unique to you.

Step-by-Step: What Happens in the Center

A look inside our step-by-step Trichological Scalp Treatments — from ScalpCheck® analysis to steam therapy, scalp massage, and red light therapy.

  1. ScalpCheck® Consultation – Using advanced scalp imaging, we assess hydration, oil production, buildup, and follicle health. This ensures the treatment protocol is built specifically for you.
  2. Pre-Shampoo or Mask – Exfoliates, loosens buildup, and prepares the scalp for active ingredients.
  3. Steam Therapy (Vapozono) – Ozone steam opens pores, enhances absorption, and helps rebalance bacteria.
  4. Relaxing Massage (Tricopress) – Improves circulation and scalp elasticity while providing a soothing experience.
  5. Cleansing & Conditioning – Protocol-specific shampoo and protein treatments restore scalp balance and strengthen hair.
  6. Light Therapy – Red and infrared light stimulate circulation, while blue light reduces scalp bacteria.
  7. Targeted Active Ingredients – A concentrated vial or lotion is applied to deliver customized nutrition and support directly to the scalp.
  8. Fluff Dry Finish – Hair is gently dried with protective, lightweight products to maintain scalp wellness.

At-Home Treatments (2x Per Week)

Your results don’t stop when you leave the center. Each protocol includes at-home scalp treatments, performed twice per week, using the same professional-grade products. This keeps your scalp in balance between visits and ensures long-term progress.

Think of it this way: in-center treatments give you the professional boost, while at-home care keeps the momentum going. Together, they create a consistent rhythm of scalp wellness.

How Does It Feel?

You may experience sensations of tingling, cooling, or gentle warmth—these are normal and a sign that circulation is improving. Guests often describe the service as both restorative for their hair and deeply relaxing for their mind.

After-Care: Maximizing Your Results

  • Avoid shampooing for at least 8 hours post-treatment.
  • Use Daily Mild Shampoo on non-treatment days.
  • Stay consistent with 2x per week at-home scalp treatments.
  • Avoid harsh chemical services like bleach or high-lift color on treatment days.
  • Remember: this is a customized treatment plan, not a miracle cure. The goal is to protect the hair you have, slow further loss, and improve scalp health.
  • Consistency is key—whether you’re coming in for a Trichological Scalp Treatment in Cleveland or continuing your protocol at home, following the plan ensures the best long-term results.
