Hair loss and thinning hair have been sensitive and frustrating issues for men throughout history. The etiology and treatment of hair loss have stirred up tremendous controversy. Treating hair loss has been marked by various myths, unproven theories and efforts focusing on different explanations for the problem, ranging from poor circulation and nutrition to mites and clogged hair follicles.

Recently, medical science was finally able to identify the main cause of hair loss. Now, it's a known medical fact that hair loss stems from genetic and hormonal causes. Androgenetic alopecia or "male and female pattern hair loss" is implicated in 95% of cases as an inherited condition.

However, having the genes alone is not enough to cause hair loss. In addition to the genes, the presence of a hormone is needed to activate the genes, just as a key is necessary to open a lock. The key in this case is a hormonal byproduct called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

DHT is created in the human body, and new research shows that this hormone is responsible for the progressive miniaturization of the genetically predisposed hair follicle. Under the suppressive effects of DHT, hair follicles become thinner and finer until the hair is permanently lost.

nothing like pharmaceuticals

Propecia' is a Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approved synthetic medication available by prescription only to men. It works by reducing DHT levels. Studies show that Propecia' is able to stop hair loss and the miniaturization process, as well as regrow hair. However, Propecia' must be taken orally, and because it reduces DHT systemically, it may be associated with side effects including loss of libido.

Rogaine' is the first FDA approved medication for hair loss. It works by stimulating hair follicles and keeping them in the growth phase, thereby reducing hair loss. Rogaine' has worked well for most individuals, stimulating hair regrowth mainly by activating dormant hair follicles on the crown of the scalp. Although Rogaine' is a potent activator of the hair follicle, it does not work on the cause of hair loss, DHT.

Revivogen' although not FDA approved, is a natural topical formula that works through the same mechanism as Propecia'. Revivogen is made with natural ingredients that have been scientifically proven to reduce DHT production. In fact, the active ingredients in Revivogen reduce DHT even more effectively than Propecia'.

In addition, these ingredients prevent DHT's attachment to hair follicles, which is not done by Propecia'. Because Revivogen is used topically and derives from natural ingredients, it does not affect DHT production elsewhere in the body; therefore, it has no systemic side effects and is safe for use by both genders.

By reducing DHT's production and its destructive effects on hair follicles, the weakened and miniaturized hairs become thicker and stronger again, leading to a fuller, healthier head of hair. By targeting the cause of hair loss at a molecular level, Revivogen is a one-of-a-kind product that uses the power of nature to revitalize and protect the hair.

Within 90 days of using Revivogen, a significant decrease in hair loss and thickening of existing hair may be noted. Within three to six months of use, the revitalized hairs will make the scalp look fuller and denser. With continued use, the hair quality will continue to improve and stay healthy, with best results occurring after 12 to 18 months.

Once the desired results are achieved, continued use of Revivogen is needed to maintain the revitalized hairs. This is because the body is continuously producing DHT. Therefore, the hair follicles need to constantly be protected from its destructive effects. However, once maximum results are obtained, the daily use of Revivogen can be decreased to several times a week for maintenance purposes.
