What are the effects and precautions of the Electric Burr Brush?
About the mechanism of Electric Burr Brush
An electric brush with a low frequency function is a beauty device that stimulates the scalp approximately 1,000 times per second when applied to the scalp, allowing it to move associated muscles that are said to be unable to be moved on their own.
In addition to addressing swelling and stiffness throughout the body, it can also be expected to have the effect of making your face smaller and your skin beautiful.
It was made popular by the entertainment industry and social media. In addition, the LED light that activates muscle exercise and cells tightens the skin from the root of the pores and cares for the arrector pili muscles that regulate pore opening, leading to healthy hair growth.
Expected beauty effects of Electric Burr Brush
Effects on hair
By encouraging muscle exercise using low frequency waves and activating cells with LED light, hair can be grown in a healthy manner. However, the effects of hair loss and hair growth are not mentioned medically, and hair does not necessarily grow.
Lift-up effect
Since the head and face are connected by one layer of skin, when you apply the electric Bali brush to the scalp, delicate stimulation is transmitted to the face, which tightens the skin, relieves swelling, and lifts the skin. Recommended for people who want to get closer to a smaller face.
Beautiful skin effect
The red LED light attached to the Electric Burr Brush stimulates pore contraction and collagen production, while the blue LED light suppresses sebum production. It is said that using an electric brush in the morning and at night will help your makeup go on better the next day.
Relaxing effect
Low frequency waves work to improve blood flow and metabolism in the scalp, relaxing the stiff scalp and body, so it has a relaxing effect. However, there are individual differences, and it can be said that people who feel that it feels good are likely to feel that way.
Prevention of gray hair
The Electric Burr Brush, which promotes blood circulation in the scalp and activates cells, can also treat gray hair, thinning hair, and dry hair. Although it does not directly prevent gray hair, it is said to make it harder for them to grow.

The Flow of treatment
STEP1
First, check your facial condition with a consultation.
Check the current state of your face while receiving a hearing from a therapist. Since the face is connected to the head through a single layer of skin, the scalp tends to become stiff and hard, which causes the face to become swollen. Therefore, we decided to lift up the face by promoting blood flow to the head.
STEP2
Experience the Electric Burr Brush now! Not only for the scalp but also for the neck
Brush slowly with a soft sensation that the tip of the brush touches. The closer the brush is to your scalp, the easier it is to feel the current, and the moment you touch it, you will experience a tingling sensation similar to an electric bath. It wasn't as painful as I expected, and I was addicted to the moderate comfort.
STEP3
After the treatment, your head will feel lighter and your eyes will be brighter!
After the treatment, your scalp will feel soft and your head will feel light and refreshed. My eyes look brighter, my expression brightens, and my face line seems to have lifted, so I'm very satisfied! I'm glad that they provide detailed explanations during the treatment so you can feel at ease during the experience.
Impressions after undergoing the treatment
"The electric brush gave me a tingling sensation the moment I applied it to my scalp, but as I moved the brush, I hardly felt the current, so it was more comfortable than I expected. I found it very comfortable, but you may like it or dislike it.
When I brushed my hair by myself, I didn't know how much pressure I should use or how fast I was brushing, so it was likely to be painful, so I felt relieved when I had a professional do it for me.
I could see the effects, but the most pleasing change was that my entire head felt refreshed.It is said to be recommended for people of the generation who are concerned about anti-aging care such as lifting and hair growth, so I would also recommend it to my mother.''
Advantages of experiencing an Electric Burr Brush at a salon
“It all started when a customer consulted us about their thinning hair, and since it was an area that couldn't be addressed with hair salon care, we wondered if we could do something about it.
The electric Bali brush can also be used to reach out to people who are suffering from thinning hair, and it can help our customers. We introduced it because it helps people with their concerns.
Recently, more and more people are becoming beauty conscious, so I would be happy if we could make good use of the latest technology that can address facial swelling and skin issues.'' (Kitasato)
