Despite outstanding scientific advances in this decade — including micro-graft transplantation, strong systemic drugs, and high-performance topical treatments like Spectral.DNC® — it is still easier to retain hair than to regrow it after it falls out.

Revita® is a shampoo product formulated to retain hair and support regrowth treatments. Using Revita instead of regular shampoos, and following certain lifestyle practices, can avoid loss and speed regrowth.

Richly medicated Revita works through multiple pathways. Besides natural cleansers, it contains anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and anti-DHT agents to ward off pathogenisis, plus antioxidants and humectants to repair damage, and nutrition, stimulants, and amino acids to build strong new fibers.

Androgenic alopecia, commonly called male pattern baldness, advances in a predictable sequence. Balding begins with bitemporal recession of the hairline (W shape). Then the vertex (swirl at the crown) begins to thin. Eventually, the two bare patches merge, leaving an island of hair at the center. This holdout is the last to go.

Some women experience androgenic alopecia, but differently. Female pattern baldness happens more as a diffuse thinning over their entire scalp.

The effects of androgens on any given follicle depend upon its location. When occipital hairs get transplanted to a bald vertex, they continue to grow. Conversely, follicles from a bald vertex, transplanted amid growing hairs, continue not to grow.

Ironically, the same hormones that cause hairs to lose pigment and fall out of the scalp after puberty also cause hairs to gain pigment and grow thick on the face, chest, armpits, and pubis.

Studies have attempted to explain this paradox. Theories include more androgen receptors in those follicles, higher local production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by follicles, higher systemic production of DHT by the prostate, and or more systemic testosterone.

Hair follicles do not just quit suddenly. They produce strands progressively thinner and shorter, called miniaturization, during each follicular cycle. Three phases of growth — anagen (active), catagen (transitional), and telogen (resting) — make one cycle, which normally lasts a few years. With androgenic alopecia, however, anagen phases get shorter and telogen phases get longer.

All treatments work better in the early stages of baldness, since delicate follicles atrophy over time. In the first 10 or 15 years of hair loss, follicles retain good potential. After 15 or 20 years, however, fewer will respond to treatment.

In addition to an aggressive topical treatment like Spectral.DNC and a supportive shampoo like Revita, consider these lifestyle practices to slow down hair loss:

• Don't use harsh chemicals, including minoxidil-only formulas, which can irritate.
• Exercise regularly to improve circulation, lower stress, and reduce androgen levels naturally.
• Use a comb (gently) instead of a brush.
• Treat medical conditions.
• Eat a balanced diet.
• Try discontinuing use of birth-control pills.

Revita, the shampoo that complements other treatments, contains many proven and promising hair-growth compounds to enhance effectiveness:

• Procyanidins promote growth at the hairline nearly as effectively as minoxidil does at the vertex.
• Copper peptides counter many of the degenerative diseases of aging skin and hair.
• Spin traps detoxify free radicals that damage cells through age, pollution, and ultraviolet radiation.
• Ketoconazole reduces irritation and excess sebum to inhibit DHT production.
• Rooibos contributes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) contains sulfur and serves as an antioxidant, disrupting lipid peroxidation.
• Caffeine stimulates follicles.
• Carnitine tartrate helps the body generate adenosine triphosphate, the currency of biological energy.
• Amino acids form keratin, the hard fibrous protein that builds hair.
• Emu oil contributes fatty acids to feed and hydrate the skin.
• Biotin improves metabolism of scalp oils and expands the hair shaft directly.

Synergies between these cutting-edge ingredients mean that Revita can help stave off hair loss and support restorative treatments, so men and women in all stages of thinning can look and feel their best.
