This is a study of 36 people clinically diagnosed as Telogen Effluvium by a researcher of this study in a clinic in Seoul. The differences in the numbers of hair bulb and hair density have been compared before and after the scalp treatments. 40 hair bulbs of each patient that were pulled out naturally while the treatments were tested. Treatments with different products were chosen depending on their scalp types to improve the metabolism of scalp and normalize the keratinization for scalp cleaning and eliminating oxidized residues of sebum and dead skin cells deep inside the scalp. Scaling product were applied first along with the face line with transverse slice sections using cotton tips. The ozone mist were sprayed on it for 10 minutes then rinsed off lightly. Scalp shampoo then has been used and scalp conditioner applied on it and left it for 10 minutes then rinsed it off. After that, scalp were dried to prevent the dilution of ingredients of nutritional products, then nutritional products were applied thoroughly on the scalp and the scalp was exposed under the infrared lamp. The scalp has been treated as avobe for over 20 times once a every week. The patients were recommended to use home care products during the period of scalp treatments. C/D Shampoo(made in Italy) of M company was advised as a home care product. The results of the treatments of Telogen Effluvium was as following: 9 patients consisting of male Telogen Effluvium mainly caused by stress and female Telogen Effluvium mainly cuased by endocrine problems(including 2 female patients with ferritin level), 6 patients' Telogen Effluvium started after having baby, and 3 patients with Telogen Effluvium caused by extreme stress because of their spouse's death. Before the treatment, the number of telogen bulbs were mean 33.1 and after the treatment, the number of telogen bulbs has been reduced to 15.5 resulting mean 15.5. Also, after the treatment, the hair density of the patients with Telogen Effluvium has been significantly increased compare to before the treatment. As a result of this study, scalp treatments showed positive results in the density increase and change of telogen hair bulbs for the patients with Telogen Effluvium. There are many studies done on the scalp treatments, but not many studies on the change of hair bulbs in hair loss. Therefore, this study could be a base data for the scalp treatments.
