The scalp contains many sebaceous and sudoriferous (sweat) glands. There are so many, that the scalp is said to be one of the most unclean parts of the body. Organic waste is the by-product of the body's natural regeneration of cells and glandular secretions. It can cause odor (typical in seborrhea) or prevent the normal regrowth of hair if not regularly cleaned away. Seborrhea can occur in varying degrees of severity and when neglected, may lead to dermatitis, dandruff, itching, and odor. Deep cleansing reaches the deeper layers of the skin, and helps to remove and normalize sebaceous secretions.
1 st phase - deep cleanses the pocket of the follicle for a cleaner scalp
2 nd phase - coats the cuticle for fullness
Hair Replacement
If after the initial consultation at HLCC, you feel your best option would be hair replacement, we will refer you to our partner at Apollo. Apollo has the best possible products at a great price and Bill Barbers provides personal service to all his clients. Bill has over 30 years experience with hair.
This option would be especially recommended if you have:
1. Chemotherapy
2. Alopecia Totalis, Universalis
3. Medication induced hair loss where changing medication would be contraindicated
4. Desire to have a full head of hair that may not be realistic with treatment
5. Exhausted all treatment & transplant options
Characteristics for Better Regrowth from Hair Loss Products
1. Large number of partially miniaturized follicles that are stil l producing hair 1cm or greater. Areas of vellus-like hair only are less likely to respond.
2. Younger patients
3. Shorter duration of hair loss
4. Less initial hair loss
Real Expectations
1. Hair grows ¼ to ½ inch per month
2. Follicle resting phase may last 2 to 6 months
3. There is less shedding after first 90 days due to prolonged growth phase of hair increasing the number of follicles in growth phase
4. By 4 to 6 months some results are usually evident.
5. Soft, downy, barely visible hair will be the new growth and some may change into hair of the same color and thickness as your other hair
6. These are treatments and not cures and need to be used continually over the long term to combat genetic processes. Non compliance or discontinuation can cause follicles artificially kept in growth phase to enter resting phase. This new growth is typically shed in 2 months upon discontinuation.
If you're losing hair, there's no reason to lose hope.
