Three major effects of UV rays on the scalp

  1. Accelerates hair root aging: UV rays penetrate deep into the scalp and destroy collagen and elastin. This accelerates the aging of hair root cells, causing hair to thin and fall out.

  2. Increased dryness, itchiness, and dandruff Strong summer sunlight robs the scalp of moisture and weakens its barrier function, making it more susceptible to itching, dandruff, and inflammation.

  3. Damage to hair : Damage to the cuticle causes dryness, split ends, breakage, and color fading. Colored or permed hair is particularly susceptible to this.


Signs of UV-damaged scalp

  • Redness at the part or crown of the head

  • Increased hair loss and thinning

  • Hair feels rough and tangles easily

  • The scalp becomes dry and itchy

These symptoms may be signs of scalp damage caused by UV rays. If left untreated, they can lead to increased hair loss and gray hair in the fall.


UV protection you can do at home

  • Protect your hair and scalp with UV protection spray

  • Change your part frequently to avoid UV rays hitting the same spot

  • Use a hat or parasol

  • Prevent dry scalp with a moisturizing scalp lotion


Reset your scalp in summer with professional care

The effects of UV rays, which cannot be prevented by home care alone, can be fundamentally improved with professional treatment. At "YUE Head Acupuncture and Massage" near Nihonbashi Station, nationally certified professionals will improve your scalp environment by combining the following treatments.

  • Head spa : Gently cleanses the scalp and softens and loosens scalp that has become hardened by UV rays.

  • Head massage : Promotes blood circulation and makes it easier for nutrients to reach the hair roots

  • Dry head spa : Refresh and improve blood flow in a short time without using water or oil.

  • Acupuncture scalp care : Activates cells and supports scalp regeneration

Furthermore, after the treatment, we offer a free service where you can use a UV protection spray on your face if you wish. This will allow you to protect yourself from UV rays right after the treatment, so you can go out with peace of mind.


Summary | Take measures against UV rays in summer

UV damage accumulates during the summer and manifests as hair loss, gray hair, and scalp problems in the fall. If you start taking care of your hair now, you can protect the health of your hair and scalp in the fall and beyond.
