Plasma scalp therapy for thinning, shedding, and scalp health.
Non-invasive plasma energy stimulates follicle stem cells, calms scalp inflammation, and extends the growth phase — a professional protocol for licensed providers using the 4th State Fusion, CAP, and Fusion Jet devices.
Why hair thins — and where plasma helps.
Healthy hair depends on stem cells in the dermal papilla and inner root sheath, consistent blood supply, and a scalp environment that isn't chronically inflamed. When any of those fail, follicles cycle out of anagen early and shed.
Thyroid hormones, DHT, estrogen, and testosterone all influence the hair cycle. Enzyme 5-Alpha Reductase converts estrogen and progesterone — an imbalance is a driver of male-pattern hair loss.
Elevated porphyrins and bacterial load on the scalp create chronic inflammation that shortens the anagen (growth) phase and accelerates shedding.
Gut health, nutrient absorption, and chronic stress each impact fibroblast metabolism in the dermal papilla and the follicle's ability to sustain healthy growth.
Contraceptive pills, certain medications, and lifestyle stressors can push follicles into premature catagen and telogen phases.
Anagen → Catagen → Telogen → Early Anagen.
Active growth phase — the follicle produces hair for 2–7 years.
Short transitional phase where growth stops and the follicle shrinks.
Resting phase — hair remains attached while a new hair begins forming below.
The follicle re-enters growth; old hair sheds as the new shaft emerges.
How the plasma treatment works.
- 1Plasma energy is generated in the air between the device tip and the scalp.
- 2Micro-channels open in the epidermis, boosting product absorption and signalling repair.
- 3Cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) are released, stimulating stem cells lodged in the inner root sheath.
- 4Fibroblast metabolism in the dermal papilla improves — feeding the hair matrix.
- 5Interleukin-8 receptors are inhibited and TGF-β1 growth factor is activated, extending the anagen (growth) phase.
Provider protocol — start to finish.
- Client arrives with clean, freshly washed and fully dried hair — zero product in the hair or on the scalp.
- No mousse, gel, wax, or hairspray applied before treatment.
- Disinfect the treatment zone with an alcohol swab and allow the alcohol to fully evaporate.
- Use a wide-tooth comb to lift the hair and expose the scalp before gliding the device tip.
- Use PULSE mode for 10 minutes over an area the size of one hand.
- For clients with dandruff, psoriasis, or other epidermal issues: 5 minutes Continuous mode first, then 5 minutes Pulse.
- Work in one direction first (front-to-back), then follow with side-to-side (ear-to-ear) passes.
- Glide slowly to maintain contact and generate the correct plasma-ion-ozone dose.
- Finish by applying scalp serum directly to the scalp — the skin remains highly absorbent for 12 hours post-treatment.
- Course: 10–12 in-clinic sessions, 2–3 times per week.
- Once regrowth begins: reduce to twice weekly, then weekly, then fortnightly, then monthly maintenance.
- Scalp serum is continued long-term to maintain and regulate new growth.
- Do not shampoo or apply anything to the scalp for 24 hours.
- Restart scalp serum 48 hours post-treatment — at least once between services.
- Post-course: apply scalp serum 2–3 times per week to preserve results.
- May be combined with LED scalp/face therapy and PRP protocols.
At-home scalp support.
A supervised at-home routine layers on top of the in-clinic protocol to protect results and extend the anagen phase between visits.
- Clean hair and scalp — washing is not required if no styling product is present.
- Apply a few drops of hair serum (max 1ml) before bed, 3× per week.
- Massage in with fingertips or use a thickening brush; the serum spreads easily.
- Let the serum absorb overnight — no need to stamp during an active in-clinic course.
- Twice weekly on alternating days, apply serum and lightly stamp using the 0.25mm micro-channeling stamp.
- Continue between monthly maintenance visits.
- Clean the micro-channeling stamp with sanitising spritz before and after every use.
- Do not wash hair for 12–24 hours after home treatment.
Serums & consumables used in protocol.
Peptide meso-cocktail that protects follicle stem cells from apoptosis, initiates the anagen phase, and improves fibroblast metabolism in the dermal papilla. Inhibits interleukin-8 receptor and activates TGF-β1 to reduce shedding.
Sodium metabisulfite · Larch bark extract · Zinc chloride · Peptides · Arginine · Lactic acid · Soy Glycine · Wheat germ extract
Bioactive signalling molecules derived from stem-cell media — peptides and growth factors that stimulate fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production, microcirculation, and tissue repair. Best paired with the scalp support serum.
Centella asiatica · Aloe vera · Chamomile · Lavender · Grapeseed oil · Allantoin · Vitamin C · Tocopherol acetate · Vitamin B5
Hair growth serum with WNT1 growth factors, cytokines, and poly-botanicals paired with a re-usable 0.25mm micro-channeling stamp. Designed to be layered between in-clinic sessions or used to support post–hair-transplant healing.
