There are multiple types of hair loss with many known contributing factors, but the most common type of hair loss is called Androgenic Alopecia; more commonly known as Pattern Baldness. This common condition affects as many as 50% of all men by the age of 50 and can affect a small percentage of women.
Pattern baldness occurs when the body converts Testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) through enzymes called 5? reductases. DHT causes hair follicles to shrink, resulting in thinner hair and shorter growth phase. The degree and rate at which hair is lost depends upon the genetic sensitivity to DHT. Men with Androgenic Alopecia typically have higher levels of 5? reductases receptors, resulting in higher levels of DHT.
ActiveSkin Reverse Hair Loss was formulated to go to work right at the very roots of hair loss; working to prevent the chemical creation of DHT and treat the inflammation that occurs with balding. The ‘Reverse Hair Loss’ is a scientifically powered, revolutionary treatment; designed with a focus on Androgenic Alopecia to combat loss of hair and help restore a more youthful appearance.
We also have included Biochanin A, which is extracted from the red clover flowers found throughout central and northern Europe and Asia. Biochanin A is known to be a natural and effective inhibitor of 5?-reductase type I & type II activity. It subdues hair loss by inhibiting the bodies’ chemical receptors interaction with 5? reductases, which in turn reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT. It also modulates inflammation and functions as an antioxidant, limiting free radical damage to the skin and scalp.
One of our other major ingredients is the Acetyle Tetrapeptide-3, this Biomimetic peptide is known to stimulate the extracellular matrix proteins for stronger hair anchoring. This helps the hair stay rooted much longer, while increasing the size of the hair follicle for better volume.
