The Scalp Treatment That Tells You Exactly Where You’re Thinning 

Hair thinning can happen gradually, sometimes becoming noticeable through a widening parting or increased scalp visibility. For those looking to give their scalp and hair a little more attention, a professional scalp-care session can offer an opportunity to understand the condition of the scalp while incorporating targeted products into a treatment.

The Signature S.E.P. (Signature Scalp Electroporation) at Papilla by Kim Lim, recognised as Best Non-Invasive Hair Restoration Treatment at this year’s Spa Awards, takes a needle-free approach. It uses electroporation, which applies controlled electrical pulses to temporarily help increase the skin’s permeability, helping topical ingredients penetrate the scalp more effectively.

Ingredients include botanical extracts and other actives that support a healthy scalp environment for improved hair density.

How The Signature S.E.P. works

Spa Awards reviewer Karen Fong went in with a straightforward concern: thinning hair. What she didn’t expect was how much she’d learn about her own scalp in the process.

“I was surprised by the in-depth scalp analysis,” she shared. “This is the first one that pinpointed my problem as being at the front of my scalp – there’s more loss of follicles there than anywhere else.”

Before the main treatment began, a scalp massage and mask were applied. “My therapist had really strong hands and clearly knew what he was doing,” Karen noted. “I really enjoyed this pre-machine bit of the treatment.”

The surroundings add to that sense of relaxation. Papilla’s modern space has a clean, contemporary feel, with softly lit treatment areas and comfortable stations that make the session feel more like a moment to unwind. 

The electroporation treatment that followed was adjusted according to her comfort level. According to Papilla by Kim Lim, the device is used at a calibrated depth of 1mm to work on the scalp.

“The therapist explained the machine to me in detail, as well as the different possible pain levels,” she shared. “We worked together to find the level I was most comfortable with.”

The results of a scalp-care session

After the session, Karen noticed that her “hair and scalp felt pretty amazing”. She shared: “The session was really relaxing, and I would say the skills of the people working there are top-notch.”

For those considering a course of sessions, Papilla by Kim Lim recommends a regular treatment schedule. As with any cosmetic scalp-care service, individual experiences can vary, and those experiencing persistent or significant hair loss should consider seeking medical advice to understand the underlying cause.
