While in the indirect protocol, «the active ingredients and oxygen are sprayed at the same time through the airbrush on the areas to be treated, again for about 20 minutes. In both cases, the person does not feel any pain and can immediately return to his daily tasks».

This treatment is particularly indicated especially in three cases: «If i hair is brittle and lacking in nourishment, it restores volume, elasticity and shine, even in cases of aggressive chemical treatments. If the scalp is affected by dandruff and seborrhea improves tissue oxygenation restoring its balance and reducing blemishes thanks to the supply of hydration and nourishment provided by oxygen. Finally, if i hair has a tendency to fall out or thin outtissue oxygenation, and the successful improvement of scalp circulation, helps stimulate growth».
