Hair loss lotion
An excessive loss of hair, which exceeds the physiological
balance between the bulbs in anagen and telogen phase, affects
more frequently genetically bent persons and it is the
consequence of some negative factors. The most important ones
are the alteration of the hormonal metabolism, the insufficient
bloodstream by the scalp, an unbalance of the sebaceous
secretion, some pathologies and a physiology unbalance, shortage
of nutrients and least but not last the psycho-physical stress.
The daily action against hair loss has to be based on a specific
formula, in which each component acts synergically with the
others. The active substances and principles included in our
formula have a triple action: 1) STIMULATING ACTION OF THE
MICROVASCULATURE OF THE FOLLICLE AND ANTIANDROGENIC ACTION
We have combined active vasodilative and locally stimulative
principles with 5á reductase inhibitors in order to balance the
diminished microvasculature by the pilonidal follicle, which
reduces the supply of nutrients to the pilonidal bulb and in
order to enhance the reproduction of the cells of the pilonidal
shaft. This combination enhances the bloodstream and directly
stimulates the pilonidal follicle, inhibiting or slowing down
the synthesis of dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The factors of
vascular balance enhance the anagen phase (growth) and favour
metabolic exchanges.
2) RESTRUCTURING/NORMALIZING ACTION OF PILONIDAL SHAFT AND OF
THE INTEGRITY OF THE SCALP
In order to improve the scalp trophism and favour the function
of the pilonidal follicle, we do not use in this formula the
usual sulphurated aminoacids, but their tripeptide precursories
as glutathione: they produce organic sulphur, which is a basic
element in the building of keratinic fibres.
In the formula there are also niacinamide, a vitamin responsible
for the process of restructuring and normalizing and zinc, an
oligoelement that is an active mineral ion and is present in the
physiologic metabolism. These elements enhance cellular
functioning.
3) PROTECTIVE ACTION AGAINST THE AGGRESSORS
The continuous environmental aggressions to the fibrillar hair
structure and to the scalp damage the hair vital cycle, the
quality of its growth and its mechanical properties. It is
important not only to prevent the hair loss but also to
re-establish and maintain the integrity of the exsisting hair.
UV rays, with a photo-oxydation process, provoque the break of
cystine links and produce peroxide radicals. These radicals
damage the proteinic matrix and increase the porosity of the
cuticle and its sensibility to the environment. Consequently
hair is more fragile and its friction coefficient increases,
while the break point of the fibres decreases. Furthermore the
quantity of sulphur in the kreatinic structure decreases because
of the progressive degradation of proteins.
In order to effectively prevent these negative effects, in the
formula are used anti- free radicals substances and agents for
the "mechanical" protection of the hair shaft with high
conditioninig property such as proteic compounds, silicons and
cationic conditioners with polymeric structure.
