HAIR REPLACEMENT SOLUTIONS
Everyone loses hair on a daily basis, usually an average of about 50 to 150 hairs per day. When the follicle is healthy, this hair is quickly replaced. When the follicle is no longer producing hair or when hair cannot be replaced as fast as it is falling out, baldness is the result.
The most common type of baldness is male pattern baldness. Its medical name is androgenetic alopecia. Why does male pattern baldness occur? In some men, the hair follicles on their head are sensitive to a chemical produced in the body called dihydrotestosterone, or DHT -- a hormone. As the sensitive hair is exposed to the chemical, it becomes dry, brittle and weak, eventually falling out. The follicle dies so no new hair grows in to take its place. Many of the men who experience this condition find that the hair on the sides of the head remains healthy, even though it is exposed to the same amount of DHT as the hair on top of the head.
Some women may experience baldness, for the same reason that men do. Around menopause, estrogen levels drop off. When this happens, the DHT their bodies is produce is no longer being counteracted and hair that is sensitive to DHT experiences the same effect as men's hair. Women do tend to lose hair in a different pattern, however. While men tend to lose hair in the temples and on the top of the head, women tend to develop thinner hair all over the scalp. Full bald patches are rare in women.
This type of hair loss is genetic, and the reason for about 95 percent of all hair loss, however, hair follicles can be weakened and destroyed through other means, as well, including:
- Some medications, especially the chemotherapy that is used to treat cancer patients, are notorious for causing hair loss.
- Illness, like diabetes and lupus and other autoimmune diseases can cause the loss of hair.
- Nutritional deficiencies, especially during crash dieting or eating disorders like anorexia, lead to hair loss. Getting enough protein and iron in your diet is essential for maintaining a healthy head of hair.
- Scarring caused by trauma to the head destroys hair follicles and leads to bald patches.
- Mistreatment of hair, including heavy bleaching or other chemicals, and blow-drying. Take good care of your hair if you want it to last a lifetime.
- Tight hairdos, like braids, pull on the follicle and eventually weaken and destroy them.
For ladies, hair is indeed the crowning glory. Having beautiful hair is often enough to make them feel gorgeous. For most ladies, their hair defines a lot of things; personality, success, health. Some consider it a large part of their identity. Losing hair may have a dramatic or even traumatic effect, especially on their self-esteem. The good thing is that there are modern means to help restore the glory of your hair! Woman Hair
There are various reasons for female hair loss. Many are caused by genetics, medications, stress or disorders. However, there are three primary causes of hair loss: Iron deficiency, thyroid abnormalities and hormonal imbalances. It is recommended that ladies, experiencing baldness under 40, take tests to determine the presence of these conditions.
Unlike in male pattern hair loss, the management of female baldness requires significant proficiency in diagnosis and treatment. To achieve best results, special skills are required in performing surgical hair restoration in women.
Hair loss in a woman is generally gradual, compared to a man. The rate of thinning accelerates during pregnancy and menopause with seasonal changes that reverse themselves. Also, it's more easily affected by medical conditions, hormonal changes and external factors.
Ladies have diffused thinning and they often keep their frontal hairline. As opposed to men with a more patterned hair loss – they usually lose hair on the front part of their scalp, leaving the ones on the sides and back.
There are two tests that can help in the diagnosis of hair loss: hair pull and densitometry. In "hair pull", a finger-full of hair is pulled and the hairs that effortlessly fall are counted. In "densitometry", a small area of the scalp is measured after examining the scalp under magnification. The approximate percentage of hair that's subject to loss or is in a diminished condition is assessed.
The three categories and the management of hair loss in ladies:
- First is localized hair loss. This occurrence is usually around the hairline after a facelift surgery or it may be caused by Traction Alopecia (constant tugging on the hair). This can also result from injuries or medical problems that have been cured. Women with this type of baldness are excellent candidates for hair transplantation or hair restoration surgery.
- The second is pattern hair loss. This is similar in men. Women have thinning hair in front or on top of their scalp. This type can also be corrected by surgical restoration.
- The third category is diffuse hair loss which is the more common type. This is generalized thinning affecting all areas of the scalp. This thinning happens when the thickness of the hair shaft becomes lesser. It's usually genetic in nature and is not recommended for surgical solutions.
Luckily, hair loss in a woman often does not result in totality. Restore your hair's glory.

What is Laser Therapy?
Low-Level Laser Therapy has been used for many years both in the United States and Europe and after thousands of studies has no reported side effects. The FDA has approved some lasers for use both in the cosmetic and medical industry. In the medical industry, they have been approved for use in wound healing and pain therapy. In the cosmetic industry, they are used for skin treatment such as wrinkle reduction and hair and scalp treatment to enhance hair growth.
Low-level laser light gives off photo energy light (photosynthesis). Through photosynthesis, animals and plants synthesize fats and proteins. Certain essential acids and amino acids are derived in this process. Photosynthesis, therefore, can be considered the source of life for nearly all plants and animals by providing the source of energy for their metabolic processes resulting in cellular growth.
Hair loss usually does not happen overnight. It is a slow and progressive occurrence and may take time to stop, slow and/or re-grow. An individual loses 50 to 150 hairs normally a day but they should be replacing almost the same amount in the same period of time. The average growth of an individual hair is one inch over a seventy-two day period. Patience is the key to success.
Treatments are usually over a six month period but may be adjusted for your individual needs. Although you will realize immediate results to the condition of your scalp and existing hair quality, it will be a little longer before you see evidence of new hair growth.
In-Home Treatments
Use of products alone (without the laser) will help enhance your scalp or hair loss problems. Without the professional use of equipment, cleansing, and application, you cannot expect to receive the maximum results possible
Follicle Stimulator
Delivers essential nutrients for optimal hair and returns hair to its normal stage of health and vibrancy. Feeds the follicles and helps remove obstacles that impede hair health.
Follicle Cleanser & Shampoo
Clogged hair follicles and heavy dirt on roots of the hair can cause serious hair problems. Follicle Cleanser Shampoo uses herbal extracts to deep cleanse the hair root while stimulating circulation as Zinc PCA regulates the sebaceous gland.
Enzyme Block
Highly concentrated preparation for home and in salon treatments. Contains agents that stimulate the production of protein at the follicle level and reduce the activity of the enzyme that transforms testosterone to DHT.
Hair Nutrition
Provides hair with much needed structural nutrition & proteins to make hair stronger, longer, and healthier and with less breakage. Today's diet generally lacks the nutrition needed for healthy hair.
