- 2% to 15%
How do we
make Minoxidil better?
Works by increasing blood
flow and partially enlarging miniaturized follicles. This prolongs the growth
phase
of the hair cycle allowing the hair to become longer and thicker. With more
follicles in the growth stage, it is
possible to see improved coverage of the scalp. The follicles still continue to
cycle and several cycles may
be necessary before maximum potential hair growth can be achieved. Because our
patients are all different, we provide all strengths of Minoxidil for 2% -15%.
We also have a large number of additives both natural and pharmaceutical that we
match with each clients needs.
15%
Minoxidil Cream and 10% with Carrier Solution
This formulation
Minoxidil 15%,available by prescription. Minoxidil exhibits a linear dose-response
relationship. The thinking is, increasing the concentration of Minoxidil will improve the response (hair growth) in quantity and decrease the time
to results. Minoxidil is only soluble in standard liquid base at a
concentration of 5%. In order to achieve the 15% concentration, a cream
base must be used and Minoxidil particles micronized. This results in a
rapidly absorbing double strength Minoxidil application. The cream may be
cosmetically challenging to apply in areas where a significant amount of
hair is present, thus it is recommended as a once a day (evening) spot
treatment for areas that have been slow to respond to other treatment
approaches. The Minoxidil cream may be applied twice daily if application
proves not too difficult. Also a 10% strength with a special carrier
solution is
also available.
Prescription Requirement? - Yes
Minovit-A – This topical solution contains a
combination of Minoxidil, Retin A, vitamins,
and proprietary blend of amino acids.

Progesterone -Progesterone has been shown to inhibit testosterone
conversion to DHT by competing for the5 alpha reductase enzyme. Progesterone lowers the amount of DHT made from
testosterone and increases the amount of dihydroprogesterone (DHP), which competes with DHT
at the androgen binding sites of hair follicles.

Nutrient “Hair Growth” Delivery System
and
“DEA AND SLS FREE” SHAMPOO CLEANSER:
HLCC
Scalp Therapy
Dexpanthenol 5%, 8% & 12% - This formula contains
5%, 8% or 12%
Dexpanthenol as its major ingredient, and acts as a cleanser of the scalp and
hair follicles. Specially designed to treat seborrheic dermatitis and excess
secretion of the sebaceous glands, it may eliminate the need for strong
prescription drugs such as cortisone lotions or at least aid in the process.
See info graphic of how it works!
Their
are four major ways that HLCC Scalp Therapy
Dexpanthenol
helps you keep your hair.
-
B
vitamins - with strong concentration of B vitamins particularly B 5.
Dexpanthenol gives your hair the B 5 it
needs. B 5 is important for the strength of your hair.
-
Dissolve
Sebum -Dexpanthenol dissolves sebum,
flaks (dandruff). Excess sebum can cause hair to die or break prematurely.
In many cases clients who have been harsh dandruff shampoos that harm their
while trying to get rid of dandruff, can now completely stop using dandruff
shampoo.
-
Dexpanthenol - has been shown to increase the
permeability of the stratum correum outer layer, thus facilitating in
exchange of gases and liquids across the outer barrier of the scalp.
-
Makes
Minoxidil work better. - Through cleaning of the scalp of sebum, and
increasing the permeability, Dexpanthenol paves
the way for better permeability of Minoxidil. It just makes sense, if sebum
is blocking the Minoxidil from getting into the hair follicle to do its
work, it can't work.
HLCC -
Nutrient “Hair Growth” Delivery System Co-Enzyme – This highly concentrated
preparation for home treatments contains biotin, Dexpanthenol, two vitamins,
cysteine, cystine, methionine, and amino acids which are found in the hair
shaft. It is believed to stimulate production of protein at the follicle level,
reduce activity of the sebaceous glands and neutralize the activity of
Alpha-Reductase (the enzyme responsible for the transformation of testosterone
into dyhydrotosterone or DHT).
Scalp Scripts Vitamin Plus Conditioner
- 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. Vitamin Plus Conditioning Treatment is the only
product on the market that has all 30 the essential vitamins, minerals and
amino acids your hair needs. This
moisturizer and conditioner is used
once or two a week to supply these
essential vitamins and minerals to
the hair shaft. Many clients however love the way it leaves their hair and use
it everyday.

Ionization –
Particularly useful with Alopecia Areata and weak hair used in
conjunction with Dexpanthenol and coenzyme to deeply penetrate products. This stimulates the follicles and helps strengthen hair.
Laser
- The clinical proof continues to mount.
Deep
Scalp Cleansing
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.
1st phase – deep cleanses the pocket of the follicle for a
cleaner scalp
2nd 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
1.
Large number of partially miniaturized follicles that are still 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.
