Can Oxygen Vacuum Therapy Help with AGA and DHT-Related Hair Loss?

Can Oxygen Vacuum Therapy Help with AGA and DHT-Related Hair Loss?

 

Androgenetic Alopecia, DHT, and the Scalp Environment

Hair loss is often discussed in terms of hormones, genetics, or cosmetic appearance.
In reality, hair loss is a scalp condition first — especially in androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

 

What Is Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA)?

Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common form of hair loss in both men and women. It is genetically determined and linked to how hair follicles respond to androgens — particularly dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

In individuals with genetic sensitivity:

• Hair follicles gradually miniaturise

• The growth (anagen) phase shortens

• Hair shafts become thinner and weaker

• Eventually, visible thinning or balding occurs

AGA is progressive, meaning early intervention focused on scalp health is critical.

Understanding DHT and Follicle Miniaturisation

DHT is a metabolite of testosterone created through the action of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. In scalp tissue sensitive to DHT, this hormone can:

• Bind to androgen receptors in the follicle

• Alter normal growth signalling

• Increase inflammatory mediators

• Contribute to follicle shrinkage over time

Importantly, DHT does not act alone. Its effects are amplified by the local scalp environment — including oxygen availability, waste buildup, sebum congestion, and inflammatory load.

Why the Scalp Environment Determines Hair Outcomes

Hair follicles are metabolically active structures. They require:

• Oxygen

• Nutrients

• Clear microcirculation

• Efficient waste removal

When the scalp environment becomes congested or inflamed, follicles enter a state of chronic stress.

Common scalp-level contributors to AGA progression include:

• Excess sebum and keratin buildup

• DHT-related metabolic waste

• Reduced oxygen diffusion

• Micro-inflammation

• Poor absorption of topical actives

This is why applying products alone rarely produces meaningful results if the scalp itself is compromised.

What Is Oxygen Vacuum Impregnation Therapy?

Oxygen vacuum impregnation therapy is a scalp-focused technology that combines controlled negative pressure (vacuum) with oxygen delivery.

The process works in phases:

1. Vacuum Phase

Controlled suction gently lifts:

• Sebum

• Environmental debris

• Metabolic waste (including DHT-related byproducts)

This helps clear the follicular opening and reduce congestion.

2. Oxygen Infusion Phase

Oxygen is introduced to support:

• Microcirculation

• Cellular respiration

• Follicle vitality

This dual action creates a cleaner, more oxygen-rich scalp environment.

How Oxygen Vacuum Therapy Supports DHT-Affected Scalps

While oxygen vacuum therapy does not block DHT hormonally, it addresses secondary factors that worsen DHT sensitivity, including:

• Reduced oxygen availability

• Accumulated follicular waste

• Inflammatory scalp conditions

By improving oxygenation and reducing congestion, the therapy supports conditions where follicles are less stressed and more responsive to regenerative signals.

This makes it particularly valuable in early to moderate AGA and as part of a preventive or maintenance protocol.

Why This Technology Is Used in Japanese Scalp Therapy

Japanese scalp treatment philosophy treats the scalp as an extension of skin health and nervous system regulation.

Vacuum-assisted scalp systems have been developed in Japan to:

• Improve scalp circulation

• Enhance delivery of actives

• Support long-term hair quality

Majoie Lab integrates this philosophy into a modern, science-informed protocol.

 

How Oxygen Vacuum Therapy Is Used at Majoie Lab

At Majoie Lab, oxygen vacuum impregnation therapy is never used alone. It is integrated into a multi-step scalp protocol, which may include:

• Microbubble scalp cleansing

• Plasma technology for inflammation control

• Exosome therapy for cellular communication

• Microneedling to enhance active delivery

• Light or PEMF therapy to support recovery

Every session is customised following scalp observation and consultation.

 

Who May Benefit Most from This Approach

This scalp-first approach may be suitable for:

• Early AGA

• Genetic hair thinning

• Scalp congestion

• Inflammatory scalp conditions

• Poor response to topical products

Individual outcomes vary, and treatments are designed to support scalp health, not promise medical outcomes.
