Home Protocol for Psoriasis
	Psoriasis is a scaly condition of the scalp. It can vary in intensity and distribution. Trichologists concern themselves mainly with psoriasis of the scalp. If you are experiencing dry patchy scales on the skin, it is best to seek the help of a dermatologist. Depending on the intensity of the problem, Psoriasis of the scalp is characterized by scaling that can be thick or thin. While dandruff may be present, the bulk of the scaling remains attached to the scalp, causing both intense inflammation and itch. If thicker scales are removed by scratching the area may bleed. This is a defining characteristic of psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune related condition, so finding a cure is quite difficult. Currently there are new treatments being studied for more severe cases.

LLLT Devices for Hair Loss
	LLLT stands for Low Level Laser Therapy. There are more and more hair loss treatment devices out there using LED lights as opposed to laser lights for the treatment hair loss. Some are claiming that LLLT stands for Low Level Light Therapy. I even saw an advertisement for one device that quoted a study that used lasers where there device only used LED's, claiming that LLLT meant low level light therapy. It does not. There are hundreds of studies using LLLT for hair loss treatment which show positive results. All of these studies use lasers, not LED's. Here is a search result for LLLT on Pu-Med which allows you to read many studies on this. The reason LED lights do not work for hair loss is because LED light does not penetrate the skin deep enough to affect a hair follicle. LED light only penetrates the skin 2 to 3 millimeters, while hair follicle roots are up to 6 or 7 mms below the skin surface. The light needs to penetrate deep into the skin in order to stimulate growth. Laser can do this, while LED can only penetrate 2 to 3 mms into the skin,. not nearly enough to stimulate the follicle much lower in the skin. All of the laser devices on our website use lasers exclusively: https://www.thefreedomstore.ca/hair-loss-lasers-s/745.htm
Treatment for Frontal (hairline) and Temporal Hair Loss

Trichologist's Home Treatment Recommendation: Simple Dandruff, or Pityriasis Simplex Capitis
	Dandruff, technical term is Pityriasis Simplex or Pityriasis Capitis, is a condition of the scalp characterized by white flakes on the scalp and hair. These flakes can be oily or dry, and in worse cases can fall onto your clothing around your shoulders and neck, causing embarrassment. Dandruff is a result of rapid shedding of the epidermis in the scalp area. While the exact cause is not known, it can sometimes be related to diet or inferior shampoos. There is also usually a prevalence of fungus called Malassezia present, which is why anti-fungal shampoos can be quite effective. Luckily, simple dandruff is not difficult to treat, and our recommendation below should provide a solution in a matter of days. We recommend an anti-fungal shampoo containing 2% zinc pyrithione. This shampoo has no know side effects, however if you feel any skin irritation after using it, then discontinue use.
