Frequently Asked Questions
What are common causes for hair loss?
There can be multiple reasons for the onset of hair loss, such as hormones, genes, stress, illness, etc. However, the majority of all hair loss is caused by Androgenetic Alopecia or pattern baldness. This type hair loss is driven by DHT (DiHydroTestosterone). Hair follicles have receptors for DHT which allow the DHT to attach itself to the hair follicle shrinking it and eventually keeping it from producing more hair.
In addition, the accumulation of sebum in the scalp is believed to block hair follicles and contribute to hair loss. According to the research by a group of Japanese researchers on the correlation between excessive sebum in the scalp and hair loss, excessive sebum often accompanying thinning hair is attributed to an enlargement of the sebaceous gland. They believe excessive sebum causes a high level of 5-alpha reductase which is then converted to DHT and also to pore clogging which would lead to malnutrition of the hair root.
Hair loss may also be caused by the lack of good blood circulation to the scalp. When the hair root is well supplied with blood it is stronger and less susceptible to the shrinking effects caused by DHT. Good blood flow strengthens and rejuvenates the small blood vessels in the scalp. Stronger blood vessels Increases the longevity of the hair follicles specially in thinning areas and encourages hair growth.
Aging may also contribute to hair loss. There is evidence that the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase is triggered by age. Many scientist believe that the free radical damage caused by our continuous exposure to pollutants, stress, and various stimuli is what accelerates the aging process in many of us. This aging process is what triggers the beginnings of hair loss. If we can keep our bodies from aging prematurely, then we can at least delay hair loss.
What are unique features of hair products from Hair Restoration Lab?
Most of topical formulations of minoxidil on the market today contain high percentages of alcohol and propylene glycol (PG). Numerous clinic studies have indicated that alcohol will dry the scalp, resulting in dandruff and contact dermatitis. Allergic responses to propylene glycol are also common among some users, which include rash, itchiness, etc. Unfortunately, minoxidil is poorly soluble in water and water-immiscible organic solvents and that’s the main reason that it is hard to find scalp friendly hair loss products on the market. After numerous trials, our formulation chemists finally found ways to prepare minoxidil topical solution without PG and with low content of alcohol or without alcohol, thanks to nanotechnology and advanced ingredient delivery systems.
Which hair products should I choose from Hair Restoration Lab?
The choice has to be made based on each individual’s unique situation because none of the products is effective for all. For sensitive scalp, aqueous based minoxidil solution such as Aquagaine will be a good choice. Aquagaine Hair Thinning Natural Therapy serum will be suitable for those who are allergic to minoxidil. Aquagaine HA and shampoos are help to maintain / improve good health of scalp. The following table provides information for minoxidil based products so that you can make decision according to your specific situation.
Will the hair regrowth solution work for me?
Not everyone will responds to minoxidil-based topical hair solution. The amount of hair regrowth varies among people and their response to the hair regrowth solution cannot be predicted. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to grow back all his or her hair. However, to see your best results with the hair regrowth solution, make sure you get the medicine directly to the scalp and apply it twice a day. You may get better results if you have been losing your hair for a short period of time or have little hair loss. However, for some people the hair regrowth solution may not work.
Who should NOT use the hair regrowth solution?
Babies or children under 18 years old.
The hair regrowth solution will not prevent or improve hair loss which may occur with the use of some prescription and non-prescription medication, certain severe nutritional problems (very low body iron; too much vitamin A intake), low thyroid states (hyperthyroidism),chemotherapy, or diseases which cause scarring of the scalp.
Also the hair regrowth solution will not improve hair loss due to damage from the use of hair care products which cause scarring of deep burns of the scalp.
