VITASTIM.

Description

Herbal based aqueous lotion with multivitamin system, applied topically to stimulate dormant hair follicles and accelerate hair growth in the treatment of androgenic alopecia.

Contents

Humulus Lupulus (Hop Extract)
Mono Propylene Glycol
Ceramide
Panthenol
Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B3)
Vitamin E
Vitamin A
Vitamin H (Biotin)
Vitamin H (P.A.B.A.)
Inositol (Vitamin B8)
Methyl Hydroxy Benzoate
Aqua

Mode of Action

Hop extract contains phyto-oestrogens, naturally occurring oestrogens that inhibit the activity of the enzyme 5-reductase and reduce the proliferation of the potent metabolite di-hydroxy testosterone (DHT), which causes atrophy, and eventual loss of the hair follicle in genetically determined areas of the scalp. These phyto-oestrogens can also recover dormant hair follicles suppressed by androgen activity. The multivitamin system, particularly Vitamin H (Biotin) catalyse the process of conversion of amino acids into keratin hair cells and accelerates growth and diameter of the hair from the dermal papilla.

Clinical Trials

Considerable empirical evidence has supported the oestrogen like activity of hop extract and recent scientific research has confirmed that hop extract shows a potent acceleration on hair growth in cases of androgenic alopecia.

BIOSTIM.

Description

A combination of naturally occurring 5-reductase inhibitors with added multivitamin complex for the stimulation of hair follicles suppressed by the action of Androgens in cases of androgenic alopecia.

Contents

Sabal Serrulata Extract (Biogen)
Mono Propylene Glycol
Ceramide
Panthenol
Calcium Panthothenate (Vitamin B3)
Vitamin E
Vitamin A
Vitamin H (Biotin)
Vitamin H (P.A.B.A.)
Inositol (Vitamin B8)
Aqua

Mode of Action

5-reductase inhibitors act as anti-androgens, reducing the levels of di-hydroxy testosterone (DHT), decreasing the levels of androgen activity at the target site. The consequent reduced levels of DHT stabilise or reduce the level of atrophy of the hair follicle and shaft in the genetically determined areas in the treatment of androgenic alopecia. The hair growth period (anagen) is prolonged and promotes increased hair growth and density.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials of the natural ingredients have established anti-androgen activity and the ability to suppress di-hydroxy testosterone (DHT) formation, beneficial in cases of androgenic alopecia. The increased dermal papilla activity increases hair cell production and proliferation, increases the number of hairs in the anagen phase and increases the A/T (anagen/telogen ration).

FOLLICLE BUILDER.

Description

Herbal based aqueous lotion applied topically to increase cell metabolism at the dermal papilla and increased nutrient flow to the hair root and growth matrix.

Contents

Soy Extract
Soy Protein
Mono Propylene Glycol
Aesculus Hippocastanum Extract
Panax Ginseng Root Extract
Arginine
B Group Vitamins
Biotin
Calcium Panthothenate
Niacinamide
Methyl Hydroxy Benzoate
Aqua

Mode of Action

Soy extracts have been shown to stimulate increased cell metabolism at the dermal papilla with increased hair cell production (Mytosis). A synergistic effect is achieved using phyto-active herbal extracts, which can increase the nutrient concentration at the growth centre of the hair bulb, augmented with multivitamins and trace elements. The anagen/telogen (A/T) ratio is increased with extended hair growth cycle.

Clinical Trials

Research data has shown increased hair cell metabolism and increased epidermal microcirculation with decreased hair loss and an improved A/T ratio with consequent improved cosmetic appearance and overall hair density.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS HAIR TRANSPLANTATION? WILL IT CURE MY BALDNESS?

Hair transplantation is a surgical procedure for the treatment of hair loss. This is accomplished by actually transferring grafts or small sections of hair bearing skin from the back of his scalp to bald areas on the top of the head. Micro grafts, containing one hair, and mini grafts, containing two to seven hairs, are usually used. This technique is very effective in most types of hair loss, including male and female pattern loss. It is also effective when concealing scar injury and complications from disease. It is especially effective in concealing the scars from facial plastic surgical procedures (face lifts, brow lifts, etc.). Even eyebrows can be reconstructed with excellent cosmetic appearance. Women in particular are excellent candidates, as their hair loss tends to be diffuse and can afford them full coverage of the area while undergoing healing. Best of all, your results are permanent.

We recommend the use of Vitastim and if necessary Biostim as well, in all cases for best results.

Why not call 0207 976 6868 and speak to one of our trichologist who will be happy to help and advise you.

Your initial consultation and assessment are free.

So why not take advantage of our expertise and get the facts so that you can make an informed decision on what is best for the future of your hair today.

Take control of your hair loss so that it does not control your life.

However, not all cases are treatable. But with early diagnosis and treatment you will give yourself and us the best possible chance to help you.

ALOPECIA AREATA: IS IT TREATABLE? THE ANSWER IS YES. SEE OUR RESULTS AFTER JUST FEW MONTHS OF TREATMENT.

Before coming to see us this patient had been down the usual non productive route of seeing his GP several times and then being referred on to a Dermatologist at his local NHS hospital. As with many Alopecia sufferers he felt frustrated with the lack of understanding, treatment and support being provided. After his initial consultation in February this year he decided to start treatment with us.

Here are his results:

Feb March May

June July August

September

This patient has undergone a combination of treatment using Minoxidil plus MPG and a 15% solution of Biostim (both treatments have been applied topically on a twice daily basis). These results have been achieved after just 6 months of regular treatments and check ups with this patient’s trichologists.

I am sure you will agree that the results speak for themselves.
