How can I stave off hair loss? Use a high-performance topical treatment likeSpectral.DNC®, together with a supportive shampoo like Revita®, toretain hair longer.
How do hair follicles shut down? Hair follicles produce strands progressively thinnerand shorter, a process called miniaturization, during each successivefollicular cycle.
How do I know Revita is safe? DS Laboratories selects ingredients for hypoallergenicity as well as effectiveness.
How do procyanidins promote hair growth? Procyanidin oligomers (simple polymers) help different types of cells, epithelial and mesenchymal, work together.
How do researchers measure hair growth? 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 does DS Laboratories obtain extracts? DS Laboratories uses gentle mechanical compression,not harsh chemical extraction, to preserve the integrity of its naturalcompounds.
How does hair receive nutrition? Methylsulfonylmethane is incorporated into Revitabecause the sulfur-containing chemical is essential for building hair,skin, and nails.
How does hair thin? Follicles do not just shut down suddenly. They producestrands progressively thinner and shorter, called miniaturization,during progressive follicular cycles.
How does ketoconazole support hair growth? Ketoconazole, a powerful antifungal agent, reducesscalp irritation and removes excess sebum while inhibiting the hormonesthat trigger male pattern baldness.
How does Revita compare to mass-market shampoos? Unlike regular shampoos, which rely on alkalinedetergents that inflame the scalp, Revita contains natural cleansers,plus precious ingredients to reduce inflammation, fungus, and DHT, andother compounds to boost hydration, nutrition, and protein.
How does Revita help repair free-radical damage? Antioxidant molecules called spin traps work todetoxify the free radicals that damage cells through age, pollution,and ultraviolet radiation.
How does Revita stimulate follicular energy? Carnitine tartrate helps generate adenosine triphosphate, the universal currency of biological energy.
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? Normally, 12 follicles are producing hair (anagenphase) for each one that is dormant (telogen phase). With androgenicalopecia, that ratio sinks to maybe 5:1.
What are the active ingredients in Revita? Revita works through multiple pathways, withanti-inflammatory, antifungal, antioxidant, and anti-DHT agents, plushydration, nutrition, stimulants, and proteins.
What causes hair follicles to quit? Ironically, the male hormones that trigger scalp hairsto fall out also cause facial, chest, axillary, and pubic hairs to growin. The difference is the genetic programming of each follicle.
What is a free radical? The byproduct of natural oxidation, a free radical isa reactive molecule containing an unpaired electron, which damages hairfollicles and other cells.
What is an antioxidant? Antioxidants attract free radicals and effectivelytrap them. Revita incorporates a spin trap calledN-t-butyl-alpha-phenylnitrone.
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.
What is the role of amino acids in Revita? Amino acids form keratin, the hard fibrous protein that constructs new hairs.
What is the role of biotin in Revita? Biotin improves metabolism of scalp oils and expands the hair shaft directly.
What is the role of caffeine in Revita? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles like it stimulates nerves.
What is the role of carnitine tartrate in Revita? Carnitine tartrate helps the body to generate adenosine triphosphate, the currency of biological energy.
What is the role of copper peptides in Revita? Copper peptides counter many of the degenerative diseases of aging skin and hair.
What is the role of emu oil in Revita? Emu oil contributes fatty acids to help feed and hydrate the skin.
What is the role of ketoconazole in Revita? 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.
What makes hair strong? Revita delivers amino acids directly to hair follicles because these acids are building blocks of the protein keratin.
What makes Revita better than other shampoos? Revita combines numerous highly effective compounds to help preserve hair.
What treatments combine well with Revita? Revita enhances and reinforces topical treatments like Spectral.DNC and others containing minoxidil.
What vitamins contribute to hair health? Revita incorporates the B vitamin biotin because it plays a major role in the manufacturing of hair.
When does balding begin? Androgenic hair loss can start at puberty, whenhormones increase. Some men go completely bald in five years, although15 to 25 years is more typical.
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? Individual strands emerge from hair follicles set deepwithin the scalp. In each, a dermal papilla transfers nourishment fromthe blood stream to the root, which grows and makes the strand longer.Sebaceous glands secrete sebum to lubricate hair and skin.
Who is at risk of baldness? White men suffer androgenic alopecia at a rate fourtimes higher than black men. Eventually, 96 percent will losesignificant hair. Some women also suffer baldness.
Why do only certain hairs fall out? The hormone dihydrotestosterone affects a givenfollicle based on its genetic programming, which is the reason thattransplanted hairs continue to grow.
Why does Revita contain caffeine? The latest clinical studies show that topical application of caffeine stimulates human hair follicles.
Why does Revita contain emu oil? Rendered from a flightless Australian bird, emu oil contributes essential fatty acids, hydration, nutrition, and stimulation.
Why is African red-bush tea in Revita? Rooibos, used traditionally as an herbal tea,contributes antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and now showspotential to aid in hair growth.
