Hair & Scalp
TRICOPAT Scalp Treatment
TRICOPAT is an Italian-made scalp treatment device used without injections. According to the manufacturer, it combines superficial micro-stimulation of the skin, pressure waves, iontophoresis (a mild electrical current that helps move topical substances into the skin), electrostimulation and light, and it is typically used with a topical growth-factor preparation. It is mainly discussed for androgenetic (pattern) hair loss and telogen effluvium. Published clinical data are limited to a small number of studies, so it is best considered one supportive option within a broader plan rather than a stand-alone solution. Hair loss is diagnosed first, often with trichoscopy, and suitability is decided after assessment by Dr. Areej Albisher; results vary.

What to expect, recovery and risks
Sessions are generally described as comfortable, with a tapping or massage-like sensation, and normal activities can usually resume straight away. Temporary redness or tingling of the scalp may occur. As with any topical preparation, irritation or allergic reaction is possible. Electrical modalities may not be suitable for people with pacemakers or certain implants, or during pregnancy. The manufacturer's protocol involves a short series of sessions spaced weeks apart, with progress reviewed over months.
