Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is a natural occurring hormone which assists with sexual development. DHT also becomes some hair follicles worst enemy. Follicles at the front and crown are genetically programmed to become more susceptible to DHT at some point in life. Those hairs which cover the bottom back of the head are not susceptible. During hair loss, DHT can be detrimental to the scalp by causing the production of excess oil that can clog hair follicles. Without a DHT inhibitor, either systemically (in the bloodstream) or locally on the scalp, each time your hair cyles, the follicle will become thinner, shorter, and ultimately it will not produce hair.

Propecia is a DHT inhibitor. This product may help the hair on the top of the head and crown, but will not help the recession areas. Once a person stops using Propecia, regrowth will also stop, and within 12 months, all new hair may be lost. The pill is not inexpensive and significant side effects are possible.

Minoxidil is a vasodilator. This product causes blood to come to the surface of the skin. The increased blood supply will feed the papilla, causing the hair to grow stronger. If the papilla is dead, it is dead and no amount of blood supply will change that.

This product may help the hair on the top of the head and crown, but will not help the recession areas. Also, the sooner in life an individual starts using Minoxidil, the better chance they have of maintaining their hair. Minoxidil is to be applied everyday for the rest of your life. If the product is discontinued, the hair loss will revert to its prior situation and everything maintained will be lost.

If you would like to try Minoxidil, we suggest you use the Hair Support® System to cleanse blocked follicles to increase the effectiveness of the Minoxidil.

We suggest you schedule an appointment for a NO CHARGE consultation to determine if you are a candidate for these products.

Hair Support

Hair support® consists of the latest technological procedures to cleanse blocked follicles and stimulate the scalp, increasing blood circulation. This revitalizes the hair follicles and releases dormant hair - hair which has been trapped underneath the scalp by a build up of oil and hair products.

The Hair Support® program can dramatically improve the condition of your hair, protect against loss and may also foster new hair growth. Hair support® can also be effective in the fight against medically- related hair loss. Clients who have experienced the program have noticed their returning in half the diagnosed time.

A healthy scalp and stronger hair encourages your natural hair to grow. Hair comes in variety of color, shapes, sizes and condition. To Keep hair healthy and attractive, proper attention must be given to its care and treatment. Applying harsh hair care products or receiving improper hair services can cause hair structure to become weakened or damaged. Hair care products can also result in a build-up of chemicals which clog hair follicles. By utilizing a personally prescribed Hair Support® treatment, the health and appearance of the hair will improved.

Research and development teams worldwide are constantly creating new and improved dietary supplements to combat a multitude of conditions and deficiencies. With this barrage of new information, it is hard to keep current on what to take, when to take it, and how much to take. With Hair Support® Hair Vitamins, we took the guess work out for you! Each caplet provides one full day's worth of the fundamental nutrients your body needs to help restore your hair and scalp back to a healthy state. The all-natural ingredients used in the formulation of the Hair Vitamins were individually researched, tested and selected for their reported positive effects on hair growth, as well as their assistance with the overall health of the scalp. At the forefront of the ingredients lies Saw Palmetto. Saw Palmetto blocks the action of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on the scalp. It contains Beta Sitosterol which tends to inhibit the receptors of testosterone that are particularly active in male pattern baldness and it also contains essential fatty acids to prevent hair loss due to poor circulation. Thiamine (Vitamin B1), Ribolflavin (B2), Niacin (B3), d-Calcium Pantothenate (B5), Pyridoxine HCI (B6), Cyanocobalamin (B12), Folic Acid, and Inositol are important for the health and growth of hair, skin and nails. Flax Seed assists in immune function and circulation, both critical to the maintenance and growth of hair. Zinc reportedly stimulates hair growth by balancing the action of Copper and enhancing immune function. With Vitamin B6, Zinc can inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT in the skin. Copper complements Zinc to aid in hair growth and stimulates the function of hair growth cells. It is also a major mineral component of the hair.

Skin and Hair Structure

The hair root is the portion of the hair structure located beneath the skin surface and enclosed within the hair follicle. If the follicle is clogged or is damaged by the build-up of hair products, the natural growing cycle is interrupted. Only through professional treatment can the follicle mouth be re-opened to facilitate the continuing healthy growth of the hair. If the hair is normal and healthy, each individual hair goes through a steady cycle of: growth, degeneration and rest.

Growing Hair

Hair growth takes place in the hair follicle (the root). Here a constant process of cells division is taking place. Certain amino acids-nature's building blocks-are taken from the blood vessels feeding the hair roots, to be joined with the dividing cells.
New cells begin to form into chains. Those chains link up with other chains resulting in a long fiber. By this time, the nucleus of the original cell is dead-and the amino acids have formed into hard keratin. Keratin is the protein substance from which hair and nails are made. It is inert or lifeless. As it gets pushed ahead by new forming cells in the hair follicle, the hair shaft (the part of the hair that extends above the skin) appears to "grow". In the sense, it really does grow from the roots, not the ends.

Healthy hair follicles follow this pattern on a continual cyclical basis: growth, degeneration and rest. That is, the root produces hair for a period of time, enters a degeneration stage and then rests for a while.It is during the rest stage that the hair actually falls out. Following the rest stage the lower part of the follicle reforms and produces new hair again.
This briefly sums up a very complex chemical process. The point is, hair growth takes place in the hair root where amino acids from the blood first join with the dividing cells. Significantly, this same process is the one by which all body cells reproduce themselves.

Hair Regrowth   Hair Regrowth Under normal conditions hair will regrow following the rest stage. Hair depends on the papilla for its growth and regeneration. Within the papilla is rich blood and nerve supply, which provides nourishment to the hair bulb. As long as the papilla is not destroyed or some other force does not inhibit growth, hair will grow again- continuing on with the cycle. If the Cycle Stops In life, some unfortunate circumstances can be avoided by a change in lifestyle or environment, while others are predetermined and unavoidable, due to genetics or illness. However, in certain situations, treatment is available to help prevent a problem, stop it or even reverse it. This is also true of hair loss. Hair Loss Scenario As previously mentioned, one of the major causes of hair loss is the build-up of hair care products and other topical lotions. This build-up clogs the oil glands, damaging the hair follicle and causing the hair to be released prematurely before the hair life cycle is over- instigating hair loss. The hair follicle is actually drowning in this build-up oil. Transformation to Regeneration Professional Hair Support® treatment will penetrate the scalp and reach the hair follicle allowing it to release the build-up oil. The transformation of the hair follicle back to its healthy state will promote the natural hair life cycle.

Hair Shedding

Because hair follicles cycle through the three stages (growth, degeneration and rest) at different intervals, a certain amount of hair is shed daily (while in the rest stage). This is nature's method of making way for new hair. The average daily shedding is estimated at 75-150 hairs. Hair loss beyond that indicates a scalp or hair abnormality. Many variables can contribute to the irregular loss of hair. Stress, diet, hair and scalp conditions, as well as physical constitution will affect hair loss. The degree of hair loss varies among individuals and circumstances.

You may suffer hair loss if you.....

• Have any family member who has thin hair or hair loss;

• Drink and excessive amount of caffeinated beverages;

• Have poor eating habits;

• Smoke more then 20 cigarettes per day;

• Live a stressful life;

• Shampoo only once or twice a week;

• Apply hair lotion on an unclean scalp;

• Have a build-up of hair care products and topical lotions.

There are other factors that may contribute to hair loss. Conditions such as alopecia can affect healthy, active persons for undetermined reasons. Scalp conditions can also affect hair loss. Dandruff, irritated or oily scalp can inhibit the growth of hair.

Living a healthy lifestyle and utilizing professional Hair Support® treatment will promote a strong environment for your hair follicles thus influencing hair growth.
