A Physician directed
program designed and improved over the past 16 years to help prevent
baldness and thinning hair and to enhance your existing hair.
Scientistsand
doctors are coming closer to finding a cure for baldness. New
pharmaceutical products, low level light therapy, better transplant
techniques, cloning techniques, and altering a person’s genetic code
are currently being investigated. These techniques hold promise in
the future, but what about today? When you consider the drawbacks
that accompany each new discovery, surely it makes more sense to
prevent the problem from happening in the first place! This has been
the focus of research and development at HLCC for 16 years which has
resulted in the HLCC physician directed treatment program. Its
principles involve improving the
scalp environment, blocking DHT,
providing your hair with complete
nutrition;minimize
excessive daily hair loss,
enhancing the appearance of thin-looking hair and stimulating hair
growth.
The
HLCC Comprehensive Treatment Program
brings together all the best FDA approved products with the latest
research from the US, Europe and Canada. The HLCCTotal
Treatment Program consists of:

Below are the steps
involved in our treatment plan:
STEP 1 – ANALYSIS &
FINDINGS
The first step is completing theHLCC
Treatment Program Hair Questionnaire. We will then
educate you on the basics of hair loss Our expert staff will
formulate your treatment plan taking into consideration your health,
scalp hygiene, prescription drug use, stress, hormonal changes, iron
deficiency anemia, heredity and nutritional profile to determine
other factors which might contribute to hair loss. HLCC has
developed a comprehensive program of treatments to deal with most
all causes of hair loss. Once we understand your individual hair
loss situation, we educate you to want it is and what your options
are.
STEP 2 - TREATMENT
HLCC Treatment Program can eliminate acute problems within your
hair follicles that can cause
thinning hair. Afterwards, additional products will be used to
enhance your existing hair. Once thinning has been stabilized, the
odds of success with hair growth drugs or transplants will be
increased.
Not everyone is a good candidate for treatment; this is why a
questionnaire is done on everyone
before recommending treatment in order to eliminate those who we
feel won't respond or have unrealistic goals. Sometimes the best
plan is either hair restoration surgery or hair replacement systems.
All these choices will be explained, as well as, costs, benefits and
disadvantages for each.
Once you have your individualized recommended treatment plan, it will
contain 4 stages:
FIRST STAGE TREATMENT- will involve
lifestyle or nutritional changes that will help maximize your
treatment plan (Not a must but really can help)
SECOND STAGE TREATMENTS-
includes
intensive preparation of the scalp surface, hair follicle and hair
shaft. The purpose is to:
improve the overall health of the
scalp by encouraging a cell-by-cell exfoliation of dead skin
(dandruff)
increase blood circulation to the
scalp
hydrate the outer layer (stratum
corneum) and increase permeability
normalize an excessively dry or
oily scalp condition
eliminate and emulsify built-up
sebum in the follicle entrances and further penetrate the follicle
to emulsify the buildup of debris at the root or bulb
cleansing of the hair and scalp by eliminating dirt and
debris while leaving needed oils
THIRD STAGE TREATMENTS –
aggressive oral and topical program to stop hair loss and gain some
re-growth by:
inhibiting the formation of DHT
through binding to specific receptor sites with potent DHT
Blockers
oxidize 5-Alpha Reductase,
rendering it inactive
increasing blood flow to hair
follicles
increase potassium ion exchange in the follicles
providing sulfur to the hair
providing all the nutraceuticals that hair needs to grow
providing a marine protein concentrate and silica which
has been shown in several Norwegian studies to help hair loss
especially in the presence of low level light therapy
Sometimes prescription products may be warranted to
expedite or enhance your treatment
Oral Products-
HLCC Complete or Enhanced AA (non Rx) and/or Propecia or 1.25
mg Finasteride (Rx)
Topical-
5% Minoxidil in carrier, 5% Minoxidil with Saw palmetto, 5% saw
palmetto (non Rx)
10%
Minoxidil, 10% Minoxidil with saw palmetto, 15% Minoxidil, MVF (Rx)
FOURTH STAGE TREATMENTS- utilize Low
Level Light Therapy (LLLT) or Photo biotherapy .
with in clinic laser or
Lasecomb at Home.
LLLT or Photobiostimulation has been used clinically
for numerous ailments in Europe for over thirty years and has been
the subject of over 2,500 scientific papers, published worldwide.
There are no reported side effects to the therapy which is painless,
non-toxic and complements many traditional therapies. This therapy
is currently undergoing FDA clinical trials in the US to prove
stoppage of hair loss and re-growth of hair. It is currently being
used in Canada and
Europe for this
purpose. In Canada, it's equivelent of the US FDA has approved one
of our laser companies to say it
stops Hair Loss and
Regrows hair!
Four distinct
effects are known to occur with LLLT:
1. An increase in
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – thus increasing energy and protein
synthesis of which hair is 85% protein
2. Improved
cell proliferation
3. A change
in cell membrane permeability
4. Increased
blood circulation resulting in an increased nutrient supply to the
hair follicles
STEP 3- FOLLOW-UP, Monitoring and adjustments of treatment program
Each person has
their own individual hair loss situation; therefore different people
react differently to our treatment programs. By closely monitoring a
patient’s progress we can change and adjust the program to an
individual’s response to the treatment program. We monitor your
progress both digitally and with a capilloscope to show the results
of your treatment program.
HairScripts™ Complete was clinically developed to help grow your hair
stronger, fuller, faster and to arrest pattern hair loss in both men
and women of all ethnicities. This product was developed as a one
step oral solution to block DHT and give your hair the nutrients it
needs to grow optimally. HairScripts™ fights DHT (which attacks your
hair) with an unsurpassed formulation of natural, anti-Androgenetic
(DHT Blocking) agents. Complete provides clinically proven hair
growth vitamins, minerals, and nutraceuticals and has no side
effects. This advanced herbal alternative to Propecia® blocks
significantly more DHT than other products and is so unique it is
patented. Complete™ can even be used with Propecia® to enhance
results.
This product blocks DHT (which causes hair loss), similarly to Propecia®
without the side effects. This product is safe and effective for
both men and women and costs significantly less.
Dexpanthenol dissolves sebum (which clogs hair follicles and hinders
absorption of Minoxidil), promoting excellent scalp hygiene. This
product also dissolves flaking and helps to minimize the symptoms of
seborrheic dermatitis. Dexpanthenol is a key solution in your
treatment program.
This product is free of sodium laurel sulfates and DEA, two harsh
ingredients found in almost all commercially available shampoos that
act like detergents and de-greasers and irritate your hair
follicles. Scalp Scripts easily lathers, and gently cleans your hair
without these harsh chemicals and is safe to use every day.
Scientifically proven
to stimulate new hair growth due in large part to its high
percentage of
panthenol and cysteine, a keratin protein which is in and
of itself the basic protein found in human hair. No other company
currently markets a topical
hair growth nutrient product like Coenzyme
Carrier solution
allows Minoxidil to work better. This product is the result of years
of research and development, maintaining Minoxidil in a liquid state
longer allowing it to penetrate down into the follicle where it will
have the maximum effect on the growth of the hair shaft. Use of the
carrier lotion allows you to use less Minoxidil and to significantly
help absorption.
Restores moisture to hair and scalp by acting as a
moisturizer and conditioner and provides all the essential vitamins
and minerals to the hair shaft. This product adds fullness and shine
to all hair types.
Cortex Enlarger
Instantly adds body to fine or limp hair. Daily use ensures hair
shaft strength and manageability. Alcohol Free Hair Spray
Unlike most all other hair sprays available on the market, Megaderm hair
spray has no alcohol (which is a drying product that damages already
weak hair). Megaderm is a water and shampoo soluble, natural, super
hold, non sticky, finishing spray that works for all hair types.
Megaderm™ Natural Deep Cleanser
All natural, deep cleanser and deodorizer with natural live enzymes used
to clean the scalp thoroughly. This product is especially useful
with difficult to treat scalp conditions.
*HAIR CARE
PRODUCTS* To enjoy maximum benefits from the
treatments, it is essential to use HLCC Treatment Program Hair Care
products. Our products are formulated to cleanse the hair and scalp
thoroughly and rinse completely to eliminate undesirable residues.
You may also use these products independently of a HLCC Treatment
Program.
Important Things to Consider About Product Program or LLLT/Product
Program
Utilizing a program allows you to maximize your results
because the products work synergistically (the whole program is
greater than it parts). Also each product works differently to
stop hair loss and improve your chances of hair regrowth.
When using only one or two products, many people do not
see the best results and therefore do not continue treatment for a
long enough time to start to see results (at least 6 months.
HLCC Programs were designed to maximize their benefits
and minimize their cost. These products are sold individually, but
are more expensive and less effective.
HLCC Programs were developed as a medical program by
physicians with medical research and scientific rational. Many
products on the radio, TV, and internet offer hope, hype, and huge
claims without proven efficacy. Remember, only 2 products have FDA
research to prove hair regrowth - Minoxidil and Finasteride, and
many studies have shown Saw Palmetto berry exact have results with
both hair loss and prostate health. Most all internet programs
contain neither or have a diluted 2% Minoxidil. Only clinics with
Doctors can prescribe Minoxidil over 5% and Propecia and its
stronger versions.
Good nutrition and the 8 proven hair growth vitamins
help hair grow to its best potential.
At HLCC, we monitor your progress both digitally and
microscopically with a Capilloscope. (in clinic patients and long
distance clients with photos)
LLLT is FDA approved for wound healing and currently
being evaluated in clinical trials for the FDA, but has shown
success in Europe
and Canada.
In Canada, it's equivelent of the US FDA has approved one of our
laser companies to say it stops Hair Loss and
Regrows hair!
Finally, cost
needs to be weighed and compared to benefits. Our philosophy is
unlike the rest of the hair loss industry- we believe in providing
products and services that work at a reasonable price. See chart
of industry comparisons below.
The above program is distributed on a quarterly basis. Program
product amounts are design to meet the needs of most clients. Some
people shampoo more often than average and some people use more of
other products than others. Should you use more product or lose your
product, you can purchase additional product for 30% off the
standard price to help you complete your treatment program properly.
