How do procyanidins promote hair growth?
Procyanidin oligomers (simple polymers) help different types of cells, epithelial and mesenchymal, work together.

Four factors are quantified for hair strands: diameter, length, number, and pigmentation.
How does baldness relate to body hair and sex drive?
Baldness does not mean a change in body hair or sexdrive. The effects of androgens depend on the location and geneticprogramming of each hair follicle.
How does dihydrotestosterone (DHT) affect hair loss?
The male hormone DHT may choke hair follicles byinterfering with certain enzymes, causing thick, terminal hairs towhither into thin, vellus hairs.

How long does a hair strand grow?
A complete follicular cycle has three phases: anagen(growth), normally a few years; catagen (transitional), just a week ortwo; and telogen (dormant), normally several weeks.
How many hairs grow at one time?

What is androgenic alopecia?
Commonly called male pattern baldness, androgenicalopecia starts with bitemporal recession of the hairline and thinningof the vertex. Eventually, the two bald patches merge. Female patternbaldness, however, happens as a diffuse thinning over the entire scalp.

Ketoconazole reduces irritation and excess sebum while inhibiting DHT production.
What is the role of methylsulfonylmethane in Revita?
Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) contains sulfur and serves as an antioxidant, disrupting lipid peroxidation.
What is the role of procyanidins in Revita?
Procyanidins promote growth at the hairline.
What is the role of rooibos in Revita?
Rooibos contributes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
What is the role of spin traps in Revita?
Spin traps detoxify the free radicals that damage cells.
What lifestyle adjustments can slow hair loss?
In addition to a topical treatment such asSpectral.DNC-L and a medicated shampoo such as Revita, don't use harshchemicals like straight minoxidil, have medical conditions treated, eata balanced diet, exercise regularly to improve circulation and lowerstress, use a comb instead of a brush, and consider discontinuingbirth-control pills.

When should I begin hair regrowth treatment?
Topical treatments work best in the early stages of baldness, since hair follicles atrophy over time.
Where does hair come from?
