All products are professionally formulated & manufactured in an FDA-registered cGMP compliant facility. A hair regrowth topical specifically formulated for women who experience thinning and signs of baldness on the crown (vertex) and frontal areas of the scalp. Hair loss in women has not been well understood, however it has been associated with genetic predisposition, aging, and levels of endocrine hormones (particularly androgens, the male sex hormone). Recent research has shown that an excess amount of androgen in the system or a sensitized "over-response" to normal amounts of androgen may be one of the major causes of hair loss in women. The higher strength Women's 3% topical works to help prevent further damage caused by prolonged androgens, and to promote hair growth from follicles which have been dormant, but are still viable. Azelaic Acid: Has been proven to be a strong inhibitor of the enzyme 5-AR( 5-Alpha Reductase). DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is a by-product of testosterone, the male hormone. The scalp produces an enzyme known as 5-AR. When 5-AR reacts with testosterone, it is converted into DHT, which is the primary reason for damaged, shrunken follicles leading to a significant reduction in hair on the scalp. As a non-toxic, non-carcinogenic substance, azelaic acid is also a free-radical scavenger having excellent antibacterial activity. Azelaic has the ability to normalize improper growth of skin cells lining the hair follicle, leading to increased hair growth and decreased hair shed. Retinol: Has shown to increase the absorption and effectiveness of minoxidil. Dermatologists found that coupling retinol (vitamin A) with Minoxidil produced significantly better results than Minoxidil alone. The retinol controls proper functioning of the sebaceous glands. The sebaceous glands produce sebum containing DHT, which is reabsorbed into the hair follicle causing further damage. Proper moderation of the sebaceous glands will regulate scalp DHT levels.
