Microscopic Solutions
Microscopic Solutions have always been the cornerstone of Miyohara Trichology. For nearly 3 decades it has been this benchmark that sets us apart from our competitors, eliminating cookie-cutter methods that do not yield results.
Miyohara leads the way here in the US using this science to take out all of the guesswork for each client while also giving each client the ease and comfort to know why they are really losing their hair and what can be done about it. This is what makes us leaders in microscopic/polarization detection.
Hyperhidrosis
Get To The Root of Hair Loss
Many people are not aware that their sweat is metabolic waste that has uric acid, lactic acid, chloride, and potassium (which are mainly salts mixed in with water). Over a period of time, constant sweating will begin to cause hair thinning leading to hair loss in both men and women if something is not done to counteract this metabolic waste on the scalp.
Our patent-pending Hyper Lotion was created just for this condition, this product will help counteract the damaging effects on the scalp as well as the hair, restoring the quality of the hair and scalp back to normal.
Individuals that suffer from hair loss due to excessive sweating have the tendency for matted and tangled hair because the cuticles have been stripped, leaving the hair dry and dehydrated. This causes the hair to start shedding more than normal which could lead to serious hair loss.
Miyohara’s hair products are a proprietary blend of botanicals that are carefully sourced to create specialized formulations for each type of hair loss.

Our Success Stories
Testimonials
Read about just a couple of our success stories, and learn how we helped these clients achieve hair and scalp health.
Not only was the treatment itself successful, but having Mrs. Wells by my side made all the difference as well. One could not ask for a kinder, more generous or more caring person to go through these kinds of treatments with. She truly and genuinely cares about the people she is helping, and she puts forth so much time and effort making sure her clients get the right products, and the best products available.
Kate S.
I began my treatment program and was amazed to see that my hair stopped thinning within the first month. I was even more elated when my hair began to grow, even in the area affected by alopecia. After six months I am well on my way to a thick, full head of hair for the first time in many years.

The Four Main
HYPERHIDROSIS INTERNAL CAUSES OF HAIR LOSS
Excessive Sweating
Excessive Sweating
Very few individuals are not aware of the havoc excessive sweating can have on your scalp and hair.
Because sweating is a natural process that all human beings do, we have not really made the connection that if our bodies go into overdrive by overheating too much or too often over a period of time, this can lead to hair thinning and hair shedding.
People that suffer from this type of hair loss begin to display small symptoms that start off slow and then begin to escalate. Normally, by the time the person has realized that they are suffering from a very serious hair loss condition, they have lost over 50% of their hair. Here in the US, very few hair loss clinics specialize in treating this type of hair loss, but Miyohara Trichology has been treating it for 27 years and very successfully.
Thyroid Imbalance
Thyroid Imbalances
What are the internal causes that induce Hyperhidrosis hair loss? The two main causes are thyroid and/or adrenal imbalances. You may have an overactive thyroid that causes the body to feel that it's in overdrive. This is when you may feel like you are bouncing off the walls, feeling overwhelmed, very nervous, and anxious. The polar opposite is an underactive thyroid where you are feeling tired, drained and zapped of all of your strength and energy. You feel fatigued all the time and in constant pain. Your joints ache and the body suffers from ongoing chronic discomfort.
When the thyroid is out of balance, it affects the hair tremendously. Since most Americans are iodine deficient, a small adjustment can make a big difference in helping your thyroid, which is this tiny little gland that helps to regulate your entire endocrine system. The thyroid is known as the conductor ,and if this little gland starts to misdirect the other vital functions of the endocrine system, then your hair loss can become even more exacerbated.
Men and women can both suffer from this imbalance. People that have a nervous disposition, when the body is placed under a great deal of stress, can suffer from hair loss due to thyroid or adrenal disorders.
Nutritional deficiencies along with endocrine imbalances use up more magnesium than normal when the body is placed up under constant stress. Magnesium is vital in the reproductive process of hair and it controls the distribution of all other minerals within the hair structure. Without this key mineral to help facilitate all other minerals, the hair bulbs can die.
Adrenal Imbalance
Adrenal Imbalance
Adrenaline hormone in excess is another imbalance that can lead to hair loss. Your sweat glands are under the influence of this hormone, which produces a highly charged metabolic waste in your sweat that is a combination of lactic acid, urea, sodium chloride, potassium salts, uric acid, creatine, and ammonia. Most people are not aware that they sweat the most at night while they are sleeping. Hence, that is why in the morning, one's hair looks greasy towards the roots but the rest of the hair is dry, limp, and dull-looking.
Hyperhydrosis vs. Androgenetic
Hyperhydrosis vs. Androgenetic
Over a period of time, the density of the hair changes. It begins to look like male pattern balding. Very few hair loss clinics here in the U.S. treat this condition and so often mistake it for androgenetic hair loss and prescribe Rogaine. This is a horrible mistake because this drug can inflame the scalp and cause even more hair loss to occur working over this condition hyperhidrosis.
It is also important to mention that any of these underlying health issues need to be seen first by a medical doctor, in this case, an Endocrinologist. Check our Resource page to find one.
The Four Main
External Services that can Exacerbate Hyperhidrosis
Bleaching
Bleaching Hair
When a person bleaches their hair and they have Hyperhidrosis what they are not aware of is that bleach swells the cuticles by removing pigmentation from the hair and having Hyperhidrosis does the very same thing, it is removing the hair cuticles by stripping away it's protective layers, this leaves the hair very weak and fragile where the hair just breaks off completely.
Hair Coloring
Hair Coloring
Coloring is depositing pigments into the hair, if someone has Hyperhidrosis and they color their hair what they will find is that the color fades very quickly due to metabolic waste that has removed the protective layers, in most coloring processes the lower the peroxide or developer the less damage take place and with a reconstructing conditioner one can manage to help seal the cuticles if they are still intact, but if you use high volume peroxide it can literally disseminate the hair and turn it to mush because the hair cuticles are missing and this will lead to hair fall.
Chemical Straightening
Straightening Hair
Chemical straightening hair has reached a new level in ingredients to try and minimize the damage that was done to hair back in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, now in the twenty-first century we have the Japanese and Brazilian straighteners that are supposed to be less harsh on the hair and more gentle because they are made of Keratin. There are some people who can perform this chemical service on certain hair types and then there are some people who should never have this type of treatment and here's why.
To straighten hair and then blowdry and flat iron the hair is very harmful because you have already chemically changed and altered the structure of the hair and to then add heat to it you are literally melting the hair right off the head to do this kind of process and not understand that you are weakening the hair every time you do this it will only be a matter of time before the person begins to suffer from hair loss.
If the client has Hyperhidrosis and you perform this type of service make sure that you look at the wave in the hair, people that have strong healthy hair even if it has strong wave patterns make sure that the hair cuticles are closed and the hair still has a nice glossy shine to it, but if the hair is frizzy and cuticles are rough looking do not perform this type of service on this hair because this is normally Hyperhidrosis.
This could lead to scalp burns which intern will cause permanent scarring and hair loss.
Perform all hair strand tests if you are a professional hairdresser and never rely on the customer to know what you are supposed to know, and to all consumers never perform these types of chemical services at home because you can cause more hair loss that can become permanent, seek out a professional hair salon to make sure your hair can take these services before moving ahead.
Braids & Weaves
Hair Extension/Weaves/Braids
Hair extensions are all the rage, from celebrities to models, to influencers and everyone in between everywhere you look people are wearing more hairpieces than ever, in every shape, size, and color there are no limits to the fashion and design of hair extensions.
Even though you can change your look and style to suit every mood along with that freedom comes a downside, more and more people have hair loss due to the overwearing of these hairpieces where it is now leading people to baldness, the scalp cannot endure the braiding, twisting, stitching, gluing, taping and clipping on a continues basis just for aesthetics there will be a heavy price to pay for that temporary fix.
The damage and long term wearing of these hair extensions have caused permanent hair loss, not to mention that most men and women that wear hairpieces often not only have Hyperhidrosis but they can develop dermatitis due to the long-wearing of these hairpieces, it is the sweating and unhygienic upkeep that this can occur, the same with braiding the hair this look is beautiful but the pulling at the scalp weakens the hair and if the person has Hyperhidrosis and does not wash their hair on a regular basis hair loss will happen.

About Hyperhidrosis
What is hyperhidrosis?
Hyperhidrosis is the medical terminology for excessive sweating.
What causes hyperhidrosis?
There are many factors that can cause some people to sweat more than normal: if a person is under a great deal of stress this can cause one to sweat more than normal. If an individual plays sports or works out at the gym on a regular basis, this will cause excessive sweat. Or if the body is going through a change of life and hormones are fluctuating, this too can cause excessive sweating.
How does hyperhidrosis / sweating cause hair loss?
In your sweat, also known as metabolic waste, you have by-products of lactic acid, sodium chloride, potassium salts, urea, and ammonia. Over a period of time, this waste begins to destroy the hair follicle by stripping away the cuticles, depriving it of vital minerals and moisture inside of the protective epithelial sheath. If this waste reaches the bulb it can reduce the growth and life of the hair.
Does this condition affect men differently than women? And if so how?
With men, this condition is easily identified with red scalp, dandruff, and frizzy dry hair in the crown with thinning. With women, there are some hindrances due to women coloring their hair, bleaching their hair, straightening their hair, having a hair weave, etc. All of these modalities can impede the findings until a full hair extraction is done to see below the scalp to know of the is condition we are dealing with.
What are the most notable symptoms that one should be aware of if they have hyperhidrosis?
Well, the most notable for women is excessive hair shedding and loss of hair density. In men that do not have MPB: redness, greasiness, sour smell on scalp especially in the morning upon wakening, or thinning in the crown and around the hairline.
What type of test do you perform to identify if a person has hyperhidrosis?
We perform microscopic polarization testing to identify with 100% accuracy if you have this condition or not.
Do you accept medical insurance to pay for this type of service?
Only if you have an (HSA) Health Savings Account, which is an add-on to your regular medical insurance.
How long will it take before I can see a difference in my hair if I chose to have Miyohara International perform this service?
If there are no serious underlining problem, it takes on average 3 to 6 months to stabilize this type of hair loss. It is possible to take up to a year if you have had the condition for a long time. But you will notice a difference in how much less the hair is shedding and how well the scalp feels. We have had individuals experience this improvement as quickly as 2 weeks and for some, one month. It varies from person to person, but here at Miyohara International, if hyperhidrosis is what you are suffering from, we are the team who can help you.
