Testimonials from Clients

My husband started two months ago with Folligen Solution Spray, waoo, what results, the hair is growing on the areas were he lost it. I took pictures of him before and now we compare it and you can notice the improvement.

S from Orlando, FL from June 2011.

I have a history of hair falling out for the last few years, therefore, have tried every conceivable product from dermatologists' sprays, liquids, lotions, shampoos, conditioners to ending up with my own choice of CVS 5% minoxidil. I have spent thousands of dollars with the MDs' products (will not mention names but all are very well known) and they have not helped.

In the last 3 months, the 5% minoxidil was not working and started caused irritation and flaky scalp even though I used it every other day 2x/day. I put drops directly on scalp and rub in with Q-tip - very effective method by the way because it also massages the scalp.

I counted the hair that fell out every morning and under magnification saw the bulb attached to the strands and was losing between 80-100 hairs every day. My response was to find something better and through extensive research I found your products not only for hair but for skin.

For about three weeks I have been using a dilution of 50% Folligen Spray/50% purified water which I apply with a bottle dropper on parted hair at top of my head and rub in with Q-tip. I started slowly and built up to it over a week to10 days which allowed me to stop using minoxidil at night.

Result: my hair has stopped falling out and for days at a time no hair at all has fallen out. And no more flaking scalp or irritation and dryness. My regimen: 5% minoxidil full strength in am @16 drops and Folligen 50% dilution in am @/16 drops.

I have very light blonde hair chemically processed every 2 months. I have not had any color from the Folligen stain my hair at all and I use it every night. I will keep you informed about my progress.

My background as you know is as a product formulator with years in the chemical business and in healthcare products development. The science and research studies in your book and on your website really convinced me to try your copper peptide formulations for my hair, face and body and so far they all really work.

Hair Concerns: Men

Theories of how to reverse hair loss and thinning hair have focused on the metabolic actions of testosterone metabolites. However, the ultimate factor in hair loss is damage to the hair follicle caused by the testosterone metabolites. A recent study of 3,000 individuals found no link between baldness and the genes (5-alpha reductase) controlling the the production of testosterone metabolites1. If follicular health is improved or maintained, hair loss can be reversed or minimized. Many men have high testosterone metabolite levels but never suffer hair loss.

Male Hair Regrowth - Our Recommendations

Our recommendations are:

Start with Copper Peptides:
Folligen Lotion, Folligen Cream, Folligen Spray
or Hair Signals Solution or Hair Signals Cream:

We recommend using Folligen four to five times a week as a light coating applied before bedtime.

 

 

Emu Oil Can Help

Many of our customers have reported that the combination of Folligen and emu oil often reverse hair loss and improve hair growth. Recently, Dr. Michael Holick (Boston University Medical Center) reported a clinical study that found emu oil accelerated skin regeneration and also stimulated hair growth. He wrote - "The hair follicles were more robust, the skin thickness was remarkably increased... Also, we discovered in the same test that over 80 percent of hair follicles that had been 'asleep' were awakened, and began growing hair".

Minoxidil (2% or 5%)

For more hair stimulation, add in 2% Minoxidil. This can be progressively increased to 5% Minoxidil. Sometimes minoxidil produces scalp irritation. If this happens, stop the minoxidil and use only Folligen until your scalp health is restored. Then reuse the 2% minoxidil and the minoxidil 5% if your scalp remains healthy. Prof. Hedio Uno, one of the world's top scientists on hair growth and who wrote the textbook on Rogaine, found SRCPs and minoxidil work together to produce increased hair growth.

Addition of Retinoic Acid (useful range 0.01 to 0.05%) gives further hair stimulation but may irritate the scalp.

Retinoic acid (Retin-A) helps produce thicker hair shafts when used with minoxidil. This combination appears to be one of the better current approaches to hair regrowth. The major drawback is an often strong scalp irritation. Folligen, used lightly, can greatly reduce this irritation. Sometimes, the combination of minoxidil and retinoic acid causes breaks in the skin barrier.

The addition anti-testosterone supplements or DHT blockers may help further.

DHT (dihydrotestosterone) blockers include the Propecia®, the new drug from Merck and several useful non-drug DHT blockers.

Propecia has been around for some time as Proscar for the treatment of prostate hyperplasia in men and has recently been approved by the FDA for hair growth in men. Merck does not recommend Propecia for women: a one year study of hair growth in 136 post-menopausal women found no significant effect of Propecia on hair growth.

Non-drug natural DHT blockers include saw palmetto oil, pygeum and nettle root extract, the isoflavones genistein and daidzien, and ginkgo biloba.

Saw palmetto has been used for over 400 years as a herbal treatment for enuresis, nocturia, atrophy of the testes, impotence, inflammation of the prostate, and as a mild aphrodisiac for men. Women used the berries to treat infertility, painful periods and problems with lactation.

Extracts of two plants, pygeum bark (Pygeum africanum) and nettle root (Urtica dioica) are widely used for the treatment of prostate hyperplasia. Pygeum africanum is a featured ingredient in our updated copper-peptide product Hair Signals Solution and Hair Signals Cream, added to block DHT.

Isoflavonoids, such as genistein and daidzein are weak estrogens and may lessen the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. Several studies have found a protective effect of isoflavones against the development of cancer. The Chinese report that daidzien exhibits hair growth and hair color promoting activity. Some Folligen users have reported good hair regrowth when combined with oral intake of bioflavinoids.

Ginkgo biloba is a popular herb used world wide to improve cerebral blood flow and general blood circulation. It was recently reported by the Journal of the American Medical Association to slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It has been reported to inhibit 5-alpha reductase activity.

 

Bleached, or very blond hair may pick up a green tint if Folligen is in contact with the hair. This is similar to the greenish-tint that may occur after spending time in swimming pools. The blue color can be removed with a solution of 1 part of lemon juice and 4 parts of water.

If the coloring is a problem, then use Folligen for Blondes which has no blue color.

Use Emu Oil S Lipid Replenisher on top to facilitate penetration.

Discontinue minoxidil if you experience irritation.

Typical results take approximately 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
