\u003cstrong\u003ecarbonated pre-shampoo scalp treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e inspired by Japanese head spa rituals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dense CO₂ foam combines \u003cstrong\u003ecarbon

SPA SCALP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause we spend an extraordinary amount of time looking after the hair while largely ignoring the skin underneath it. And your scalp \u003cstrong\u003eis skin\u003c\/strong\u003e. It produces sebum. It sheds dead cells. It sweats. Styling products accumulate on it. And just like facial skin, it can become \u003cstrong\u003eoily, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edry, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eitchy, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003econgested \u003c\/strong\u003eor uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShampoo handles everyday cleansing beautifully, but sometimes the scalp benefits from a more intensive reset. That is where Head Spa Scalp comes in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carbonated foam and mineral clays provide a deeper pre-shampoo cleanse, while the moisturising ingredients help prevent the treatment from simply becoming an aggressive scalp degreaser. The goal is not to \u003cstrong\u003estrip every drop of oil from the scalp. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt is to \u003cstrong\u003eremove unnecessary buildup while keeping the scalp comfortable and balanced.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHO IS HEAD SPA SCALP FOR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOily

long-term hair quality\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe formula combines cleansing with ingredients selected to support the scalp environment and hair fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnyone who loves the Japanese Head Spa concept\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is essentially the at-home version of the intensive scalp-cleansing stage of that ritual.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHY DOES THE SCALP NEED SPECIAL CARE?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause hair health and scalp health are connected — but they are not the same thing. Your hair shaft is made primarily of keratinised tissue. Your scalp underneath it is living skin containing \u003cstrong\u003ehair follicles, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esebaceous glands, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eblood vessels, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enerves \u003c\/strong\u003eand a skin barrier. That means the scalp has its own needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToo much accumulated sebum and product can leave it feeling heavy and uncomfortable. Too little moisture can create dryness and tightness. Aggressive washing can disturb the barrier. And excessive buildup can make even a perfectly good shampoo struggle to cleanse efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Spa Scalp gives us a dedicated treatment for the \u003cstrong\u003eskin underneath the hair\u003c\/strong\u003e, rather than expecting shampoo and conditioner to do absolutely everything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTHE CO₂ FOAM — THE DR. MEDION SIGNATURE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon dioxide is at the heart of Dr. Medion's skincare philosophy, and Head Spa Scalp brings that technology into hair and scalp care. The product dispenses as a dense \u003cstrong\u003ecarbonated foam\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the treatment to spread directly across the scalp and remain in close contact during its short 2–3 minute treatment time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Medion positions the carbonated treatment as supporting scalp circulation and vitality while creating that distinctive Japanese head-spa sensation. But I would keep the client expectation practical. The main reason I like the foam format here is that it makes a scalp treatment \u003cstrong\u003eeasy to distribute, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003equick to use \u003c\/strong\u003eand much less messy than trying to spread a traditional clay mask through the roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBENTONITE — THE SCALP DETOX INGREDIENT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBentonite is an absorbent mineral clay. Its job here is particularly useful for oily and congested scalps because it can bind to \u003cstrong\u003eexcess sebum, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003esurface impurities \u003c\/strong\u003eand accumulated debris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThink of it almost like a clay mask for your face — except we are using it on the scalp. And just like facial clay masks, the goal is not to make the skin completely oil-free. Sebum has a purpose. We simply want to remove \u003cstrong\u003eexcess oil and buildup that no longer needs to be there\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKAOLIN — GENTLER MINERAL CLEANSING SUPPORT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula also contains \u003cstrong\u003eKaolin\u003c\/strong\u003e, another absorbent clay. Kaolin complements Bentonite by helping absorb excess oils and impurities from the scalp. Together, they give Head Spa Scalp its intensive cleansing character - \u003cstrong\u003eBentonite + Kaolin = absorb and purify.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut most importantly, they sit alongside moisturising ingredients. Because a good scalp detox should leave you feeling \u003cstrong\u003efresh, \u003c\/strong\u003enot\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edesiccated.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePENTAVITIN® — HYDRATION FOR THE SCALP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the reasons Head Spa Scalp is more interesting than a simple clay treatment. Pentavitin® — \u003cstrong\u003eSaccharide Isomerate\u003c\/strong\u003e — is a plant-derived humectant designed to bind moisture to the skin. Dr. Medion includes it to support scalp hydration and help with concerns such as \u003cstrong\u003edryness, discomfort and flaking\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis matters because oily scalp does not automatically mean hydrated scalp. Just like facial skin, you can absolutely have a scalp that is \u003cstrong\u003eoily + dehydrated. \u003c\/strong\u003eRemoving excess sebum while supporting hydration gives us a much more intelligent approach than simply trying to dry the scalp out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBEAOPLEX® VH — THE MULTIVITAMIN COMPLEX\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Spa Scalp also incorporates Dr. Medion's \u003cstrong\u003eBeaoplex® VH multivitamin complex\u003c\/strong\u003e, built around vitamins B3, B5, B6, C and E. Within the ingredient list we see components including: \u003cstrong\u003eNiacinamide, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePyridoxine HCl, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium Pantothenate, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSodium Ascorbyl Phosphate \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eTocopheryl Acetate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe complex provides a mixture of \u003cstrong\u003econditioning, moisturising and antioxidant support\u003c\/strong\u003e for the scalp. And I particularly like Niacinamide here. We talk about it constantly in facial skincare, but the scalp is skin too. Its barrier and moisture balance deserve attention just as much as the forehead sitting a few centimetres below it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFIBERHANCE™ BM — SUPPORTING THE HAIR FIBRE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Medion's Head Spa concept doesn't stop at the scalp. The range also uses \u003cstrong\u003eFiberHance™ BM\u003c\/strong\u003e, a sugar-derived hair-strengthening technology designed to interact with keratin within the hair fibre. The aim is to support \u003cstrong\u003estrength, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebody \u003c\/strong\u003eand the overall quality of the hair fibre. That is an important distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scalp treatment is primarily about creating a healthier-feeling environment at the roots, but we also want the hair emerging from that environment to look and feel its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWILL IT MAKE MY HAIR LOOK FULLER?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePotentially — but let's explain why properly. If your roots are weighed down by \u003cstrong\u003eexcess sebum, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003edry shampoo, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003estyling residue \u003c\/strong\u003eand general buildup, removing that accumulation can make the hair sit more freely at the root. That can create the appearance of \u003cstrong\u003emore lift, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emore volume \u003c\/strong\u003eand fuller-looking hair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Medion specifically describes the hair as appearing fuller after treatment. That is different from claiming the product instantly creates new hair follicles. Think - \u003cstrong\u003ecleaner scalp → lighter roots → better lift → fuller appearance. \u003c\/strong\u003eMuch more realistic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWILL IT HELP HAIR LOSS?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDr. Medion markets the Head Spa treatment as supporting scalp circulation, hair vitality and concerns around thinning. A well-cared-for scalp is absolutely a sensible part of a healthy hair routine. But hair loss can have many causes, including \u003cstrong\u003egenetics, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehormonal changes, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003enutritional deficiencies, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003estress, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eillness, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emedications \u003c\/strong\u003eand various scalp conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cosmetic scalp treatment cannot diagnose or treat all of those. So I would position Head Spa Scalp as \u003cstrong\u003esupportive scalp care for healthier-looking, fuller-feeling hair. \u003c\/strong\u003eNot as a medical treatment for hair loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are experiencing sudden, significant or unexplained shedding, that deserves proper investigation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT ABOUT DANDRUFF?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Spa Scalp can be useful when visible flakes are associated with \u003cstrong\u003ebuildup, excess oil or dryness\u003c\/strong\u003e, and Dr. Medion positions the treatment for dandruff and scalp irritation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut not every flaky scalp is simply “dry scalp.” Persistent dandruff can involve seborrhoeic dermatitis and other scalp conditions that may require specific treatment. So \u003cstrong\u003eoccasional flakes + buildup = Head Spa can be very useful, \u003c\/strong\u003ebut \u003cstrong\u003epersistent, inflamed or severe scaling = investigate the cause. \u003c\/strong\u003eSkincare — even scalp skincare — works much better when we know what we are actually treating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWILL IT HELP AN OILY SCALP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is one of its strongest uses. Bentonite and Kaolin help absorb excess sebum while the treatment removes accumulated impurities before shampooing. And there is a nice practical benefit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter rinsing the scalp treatment away, Dr. Medion notes that your regular shampoo may \u003cstrong\u003elather more easily\u003c\/strong\u003e because some of the excess oil and buildup has already been removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn other words - your shampoo doesn't have to spend its entire first wash fighting through everything sitting on the scalp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWHAT ABOUT A DRY SCALP?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSurprisingly, also yes!  This isn't exclusively an oily-scalp product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePentavitin® provides hydration support, while the overall formula is designed to leave the scalp \u003cstrong\u003ebalanced rather than aggressively stripped\u003c\/strong\u003e. If your scalp is severely dry, cracked or inflamed, I would be more cautious with any intensive cleansing treatment. But for a scalp that experiences a mixture of \u003cstrong\u003edryness + buildup + occasional flaking, \u003c\/strong\u003ethe balance between clay cleansing and humectant support is particularly interesting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDOES IT REPLACE SHAMPOO?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. This is a \u003cstrong\u003epre-shampoo scalp treatment\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHead Spa Scalp performs the intensive scalp-cleansing step. Your shampoo then completes the cleansing of the scalp and hair. Think - \u003cstrong\u003eHEAD SPA SCALP = weekly reset, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHAMPOO = regular cleansing. \u003c\/strong\u003eThey have different jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd Dr. Medion specifically instructs you to follow Head Spa Scalp with your normal shampoo and conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHEAD SPA SCALP vs HEAD SPA SHAMPOO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two are designed to complement each other, but they are not duplicates. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHEAD SPA SCALP - \u003cstrong\u003eintensive 1–2 times weekly scalp reset. \u003c\/strong\u003eIt uses \u003cstrong\u003eCO₂ foam + Bentonite + Kaolin \u003c\/strong\u003eto absorb excess sebum and buildup while supporting

IDEA\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese head spa treatments approach the scalp much more like facial skincare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead of focusing exclusively on whether the hair feels soft afterwards, attention is given to \u003cstrong\u003escalp cleansing, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003emassage, \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehydration,

Head Spa range brings that philosophy into home care, drawing on the brand's long-standing expertise in carbonated beauty treatments. And I really like the concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe routinely use cleansers, exfoliants, masks, serums, and moisturisers on our face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen we reach the hairline and suddenly expect one bottle of shampoo to manage an entire ecosystem. Your scalp may appreciate a little more attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHOW TO USE HEAD SPA SCALP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse \u003cstrong\u003e1–2 times per week\u003c\/strong\u003e, before shampooing. First, thoroughly wet the hair and scalp with warm water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo not shake the container. \u003c\/strong\u003eDispense a generous amount of foam into your palm — approximately \u003cstrong\u003e7 cm in diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e. Apply the foam directly to the scalp, distributing it through the roots. Leave it in place for approximately \u003cstrong\u003e2–3 minutes\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen gently massage the scalp. Rinse thoroughly with warm

applications per week\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is an intensive treatment, not your everyday shampoo. More is not automatically better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive the scalp the reset when it needs it, then let your regular haircare handle the daily maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCAN I USE IT ON COLOURED HAIR?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe treatment is applied primarily to the \u003cstrong\u003escalp rather than the lengths\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by shampoo and conditioner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your colour is extremely fresh, your scalp is irritated after colouring or your colourist has given you specific aftercare instructions, follow those first. And if you have a particularly sensitive scalp, patch testing is
