Over the past few months, head spas have been everywhere on my social media feeds – from Kyoto’s serene rituals to Seoul’s high-tech scalp treatments. When I discovered Svenson, the trichology pioneer with over fifty years of expertise, I knew I had to try their holistic approach for myself. Located in Hong Kong’s vibrant Central district, Svenson offers not only a scalp treatment but also a scientific exploration of hair health. After struggling with scalp dryness and early signs of hair loss, I booked a session to see if their targetted therapies truly lived up to the hype.

The Consultation: Targetted Diagnosis
My visit began with a thorough scalp analysis using advanced dermascope technology. The trichologist displayed real-time images of my scalp on a screen, highlighting areas of congestion, thinning, and dehydration – issues I’d vaguely attributed to Hong Kong’s humid summers. She explained how clogged follicles, often caused by sweat, oil, and product buildup, can inhibit hair growth and cause discomfort, noting that my scalp was on the drier side. This personalised assessment paved the way for a customised combination of treatments:
INDIBA HairWave (IHR) for cellular revitalisation
Oxygen 2 Jet and Peeling for deep cleansing
Cap272 Office Pro (LLLT) for follicle stimulation
The Treatment: Science Meets Serenity
Step 1: Oxygen 2 Jet And Peeling
The session began with the high-pressure Oxygen 2 Jet and Peeling, designed to thoroughly clear scalp debris and dandruff while promoting deep penetration of subsequent treatments. The therapist massaged a clarifying gel into my scalp, which felt both invigorating and soothing. This step also prepares the scalp for maximum absorption and effectiveness of the therapies to follow by boosting blood circulation and stimulating elastin.
Step 2: INDIBA HairWave (IHR)
Next came the INDIBA HairWave (IHR), a device that revitalises cells, activates regeneration, and enhances blood circulation for stronger, thicker hair. Using its patented Proionic System, a precise 448kHz frequency is delivered to the scalp, generating a gentle thermal effect. This improves nutrient distribution to hair follicles while subthermally stimulating stem-cell repair. The warmth as the device glided over my scalp was both relaxing and reassuring, almost like a deep-tissue massage for my head.
Step 3: Cap272 Office Pro (LLLT)
The final step involved low-level laser therapy (LLLT) using 650nm wavelengths. The therapist explained that this FDA-approved method stimulates cellular activity, making it ideal for combating hair thinning. As the cool light pulses worked their magic, the experience felt soothing and almost spa-like – nothing like the clinical process I had imagined.
The Results: Better Than Expected
Post-treatment, my hair felt lighter, silkier, and fuller – echoing the ‘silk-like’ results often praised in head spa reviews. But more than the immediate glow, the true advantage lay in the long-term outlook: the therapist explained how regular sessions could help ease heat-induced inflammation and encourage healthier growth.
While viral head spas often emphasise relaxation, Svenson combines indulgence with medical rigour. Their therapies are rooted in trichology science, targetting issues like sebum buildup and poor circulation. The use of TargetCool technology for cryotherapy further shows their commitment to tackling heat-related scalp stress – a perfect match for Hong Kong’s climate.
Svenson isn’t just a spa; it’s a diagnostic leader. The 90-minute session felt like a holistic reset – equal parts science and serenity. For anyone dealing with scalp acne, dryness, or thinning hair, this is a worthy investment. I left not only with refreshed hair, but also with a personalised plan to support lasting scalp health.
