Both men and women today who are not necessarily within the “senior” category are experiencing problems of thinning hair and hair loss. Most of hair problems are associated with hair duct condition and activities at the hair roots ( hair follicle) . Both the oil glands and the hair follicle share the same “exit” point on the skin called ostium. Oil glands in the hair follicle secrete sebum (oil) to lubricate the skin and hair. However, the excessive sebum can often plug up the hair ducts. This is how a common pimple develops on the face likewise on the other areas of the body commonly caused by ingrown hair.

The more popular causes of the hair loss problem is a diminished hair follicle activity. This is associated with several factors such as age, illness, stress, environmental pollution, hormonal imbalance, body nutrition, and heredity. According to modern research, the over-abundance of male hormone (androgen) not only stimulates the over-production of sebum but also causes the hair follicle to shrink so much that hair can no longer grow. Hair follicles, if not dead, may be re-activated by opening the sebum plug and enhancing the cutaneous blood circulation around the follicles. According to Dr. Cheng, a biochemist, , "scientific studies have found a number of substances having a follicle stimulating function, such as biotin, polysaccharide, polysorbate, minoxidil, retinoid, etc. Some natural herbs were also found to have such effect. A typical herbal hair revitalizer was 101 liniment, which was popularly used for hair loss problems in many Asian countries. Recently ginkgo biloba extract has been revealed to have a miraculous hair revitalizing power. Dermatologists have reported that plant worm (an Oriental herb) helps revitalize hair as well. In general, the natural herbal approach is better for long-term effects. In contrast, the western biochemical approach is better for fast and short-term results. The union of both approaches is obviously superior and advantageous."

It is for this hopeful chance of reactivating the hair follicles to stimulate hair growth that I am doing the treatment to my husband, who is not excused from the problems of hair loss and who has always been my dedicated model and guinea pig. I thank Rey Fortaleza too for agreeing to take the Hair Regrowth Treatment Program with my husband. According to the manufacturer, the Hair Tonic achieves up to 60% statistical success rate far better than all other products in the market and that an appreciable result within 2-3 months will be seen, depending on the conditions of hair follicles. The biochemist advised to continue the use until a desired degree of hair improvement is observed. In the case where no improvement can be seen after 4 months, it is recommended to discontinue the use of the homecare product. After 4 months of no appreciable hair growth, then the hair follicles may be dead and will be very difficult to reactivate. At least Dr. Cheng is very honest in terms of setting out the realistic time frame to expect treatment success. This Treatment Program has been well sought in Europe because of its success rate and I hope that this treatment will give my husband and Rey the same success.

I will be ready to start the HAIR REGROWTH Treatment Program on 10 men or women this month and if you are interested to take the treatment with these two gentlemen, just let me know right away. The advantage of being in the first batch of 10 clients is being able to get the treatment at a very minimal cost enough to just defray the cost of the clinical treatment products, and the homecare products on wholesale price. My husband is so excited about this and I believe a lot of my clients with thinning & hair loss problems will be happy to know that attempts to stimulate hair regrowth is now available in my studio.
