In Derkos neodzhenik, Stemoxidin 5% is used, the same substance is in the “Hair Activator” from Kerastaz DENSIFIQUE - also Stemoxidin 5%.

As manufacturers say, baldness grows even in men with 4 degrees of baldness (this is baldness at the top).

A friend of this means overgrown the bald patch on (I apologize) the pubic from the laser !! Per month.

I, considering her experience, decided to try. I have been using it for a month now. I have aha, by the way. I'll see in 3 months, if the effect will be promised - if not, then for min.

Minoxidil and its analogues - what to choose

In a previous article, I talked about the most effective drug for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia - Minoxidil. It was invented a long time ago, but, unfortunately, nothing new has yet been invented. All that manufacturers can do is slightly change the formula, while reducing efficiency, and add additional components. What for? Exclusively a marketing ploy - consumer fraud and sale of the same substance, but for a lot of money. So it will not be superfluous to understand what we have on the market.

So, the original drug for minoxidil is Regein (USA). We do not sell it, only through the Internet. This is most likely due to competition, because there are many generics, including domestic ones. Generic is a drug with exactly the same active ingredient, i.e. also with minoxidil. We list what you can buy from us in the public domain in the pharmacy:

Generolon (Belupo, Slovenia) 2% and 5% - the most inexpensive, about 400 p. for 5%. Most often it causes side effects in the form of dermatitis due to the high concentration of propylene glycol. But after all not everyone can afford expensive means. And if netdermatitis, then why not use it?

Alerana (Vertex, St. Petersburg) spray 2% and 5% - a little more expensive, 500-600 p. for 5%. Previously, they wrote on the packaging a different name for the substance, and now they did not hide the fact that there is minoxidil. The remaining funds of the company are additional care; it is not necessary to use them. The main thing that works is spray with minoxidil. Shampoo and stuff you can buy absolutely any company, just to suit you. By the way, shampoo with active components for hair loss is a myth and a marketing ploy, because they simply will not have time to act.

If you want to improve the condition of your hair, special attention should be paid to shampoos that you use. A frightening figure - in 97% of shampoos of famous brands are substances that poison our body. The main components, due to which all the troubles, on the labels are designated as sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, coco sulfate. These chemicals destroy the structure of the hair, the hair becomes brittle, lose elasticity and strength, the color fades. But the worst thing is that this filth enters the liver, heart, lungs, accumulates in the organs and can cause cancer. We advise against using the means in which these substances are located. Recently, experts of our editorial staff conducted an analysis of sulfate-free shampoos, where the first place was taken by funds from the company Mulsan Cosmetic. The only manufacturer of all-natural cosmetics. All products are manufactured under strict quality control and certification systems. We recommend to visit the official online store mulsan.ru. If you doubt the naturalness of your cosmetics, check the expiration date, it should not exceed one year of storage.

Preparations that are sold on the Internet or from trichologists:

Azelomax (Pure Source Inc., USA) - Minoxidil-3.5%, caffeine, azelaic acid.

Azelofin (Pure Source Inc., USA) - Minoxidil - 2%, caffeine, azelaic acid

Regein (USA) spray and foam 2% and 5%

Minoxidil - this is what is called, there are different percentages (it happens more than 5%), produced by Kirkland Signature, Alpharma, MinoxidilMax, Equate, Genhair, Newton-Everett, DS Laboratories, Members Mark, Simply Right, Vanarex, Maxus, Good sense, Corvinex, Medical grade, ii Solutions, CVS, Avacor, Hair act

As an auxiliary component for the penetration of Minoxidil, almost all preparations contain denatured alcohol and propylene glycol. Of course, they can cause dermatitis in people with sensitive scalp. If this happened, but the drug should not be thrown, then option 2 is to switch to a more expensive generic with a gentle basis (Generolon and Aleran are not suitable) or use minoxidil-like drugs.

What are Minoxidil-like drugs?

These are similar in chemical structure to substances with a similar mechanism of action and application features. The effect is usually less pronounced in relation to androgenetic alopecia. They cost more, sometimes significantly. As a rule, they have more beautiful packaging, a very pleasant and gentle basis, they are less likely to cause side reactions. Everything else is the same. They also need to be used for life. And if spending 500 rubles on Alerana is one thing, and 4500 rubles for a month of using Vichy Dercos Neogenic, taking into account many years of use, is another. Especially when you consider that after the course is interrupted, in most cases, everything comes back.

Vichy Dercos Neogenic - 5% Stemoksidin

Vichy Dercos Neogenic - 5% Stemoxidin. Even the name is similar. The effect is something between 2% and 5% minoxidil. Of course, the manufacturer speaks of some kind of new patent and the miraculous awakening of sleeping follicles, but the formula looks very suspiciously similar to Minoxidil. It costs all 4500 r per month of use. The packaging is done in such a way that you have to spend everything in a month, stretch it out a little longer. The minimum course is 3 months, after which you may suddenly find yourself in the group of 30% of people who are not sensitive to Minoxidil (and Stemoxidin). Maybe to check this fact instead of 13500 p. is it better to buy the same Aleran for 500 r (enough for 2-3 months)?

Vichy Dercos Aminexil

Vichy Dercos Aminexil - for men and for women with Amineksil. Again, a similar name, not by accident, and the difference in sex - this is a difference in concentration, like 2% and 5% minoxidil. 18 ampoules - 2800 p. Rounded prices from the official online store. Unwillingly, this is a newer drug from Vichy, positioned as a means for the growth of new hair, i.e. when we are not satisfied with the initial volume of our hair, but there is no increased loss. And Derkos Amineksil - just stops falling out .. But we all know that minoxidil also stops falling out first, and then new hair begins to appear. So the effect is the same.

Evkapil (Czech Republic) - 2% fluridyl

Evkapil (Czech Republic) - 2% fluridyl. 30 ampoules (for a month) cost 3000 r. This drug is already more interesting. It can be combined with minoxidil, it has less risk of withdrawal (i.e. that everything will fall out again after stopping the course), it does not cause facial hair growth, which is important for women. A good option for those who have the usual minoxidil caused side effects, also in the case of the initial stage of hair loss, and if there is no mood for a lifelong intake. Of course, the price is again much higher, but there is a possibility that 3-6 months of the course will suffice, and the cancellation will not cause a relapse.

Reviveksil lotion (Italy)

Reviveksil lotion (Italy) - 30 ml (for 1 month, but can be stretched a little longer) cost 3300 r. The active substance is pyrrolidinyl-diaminopyrimidine oxide, and this is none other than the chemical name of minoxidil. So The company has covertly presented the only really active ingredient in a slightly veiled way, pushing vitamins A and E and plant extracts to the forefront. The mechanism of action indicates a decrease in the fibrosis of the bulb, preventing its compression - in general, the same thing that Vichy Derkos writes about his Amineksil. The analogy is very clearly seen. And it’s not a matter of fibrosis at all, the real mechanism is the expansion of blood vessels, and that’s how they all work.

A distinctive feature of Revivexil is the absence of propylene glycol (only alcohol is a conductive substance, and in other media both components are present), which is good. But it has an oil basis. Taking into account the fact that during androgenetic alopecia (namely, minoxidil is used with it), the sensitivity of the skin and hair receptors to testosterone is increased, except for hair loss, most patients note an increased greasiness of the skin. So the drug is not for everyone. It can be recommended for patients with dry scalp and propylene glycol dermatitis.

Simone Dixidox De Luxe Forte

Simone Dixidox De Luxe Forte (Spain) - 100 ml (for 1.5 months) 4200 r. "Contains a complex of hair growth stimulants based on purine and pyrimidine bases" - these mysterious bases are Minoxidil (or very similar substances, the manufacturer does not give the formula). In general, the composition is very good, here both vitamins and plant extracts with phytoestrogenic action, and zinc (effect on testosterone metabolism) and other trace elements important in trichology.

It is nice to see that the manufacturer didn’t just add all sorts of different vitamins to the tool, but approached this matter wisely, all components are aimed at a common goal - vasodilation and blocking the effect of testosterone on the hair. Detailed composition. There is no propylene glycol, there is alcohol (without it, nowhere, because the components must penetrate the skin well).
In general, minoxidil-like preparations are milder (weak) in their effect, since the modified molecule works worse, but their composition is saturated with additional components, and the conductive base is more gentle. The price is much more expensive.

There are other remedies for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, aimed at reducing the harmful effects of testosterone. In their composition usually present phytoestrogens, zinc, vasodilator components. They can hardly be called Minoxidil-like, because No “patented complex” or “pyrimidine base” is claimed. Nothing to complain about, although who knows ...

Ducray Chronostim (France)

Ducray Chronostim (France) - 2 bottles (day and night composition) 50 ml each 2300 r. The composition is similar, also phytoestrogens (sabal extract), vasodilator components (Tocopherol nicotinate). I would like to note an interesting and correct approach to the daily biorhythms of testosterone. If with diffuse alopecia (caused by a deficiency of any substances) biorhythms do not have a special meaning, then in the case of hormones everything is different

Composition, release form:

Means "Aleran" are presented in the following forms:

1. Alerana for women (form - hair spray for hair, bottle with spray 50 ml.).

2. Alerana for men (form - hair spray balm, spray bottle 50 ml.).

3. Alerana shampoo (intended for all hair types, 200 ml bottle).

4. Alerana conditioner (purpose - for all hair types, 200 ml bottle.).

pharmachologic effect

The preparations include the active ingredient Pinacidil, known as a means to slow down and stop hair loss in all types of alopecia, including hereditary caused. Pinacidil is also a hair growth stimulant. The substance belongs to the group of activators of potassium tubules, acts similarly to the substance amineksil (component of the cosmetics Derkos, Vichy) or to the growth stimulator Minoxidil. According to recent studies, it is this group of drugs that is extremely effective in restoring hair growth processes.

Pinacidil directly affects the hair follicles:

• improves blood microcirculation, thereby increasing the nutrition of the hair roots,
• promotes the transition of aggressive for dihydrotestosterone hair to other forms,
• affects the phase of hair growth, that is, “causes” follicles to move from the telogen phase (dormancy) to the period of active growth (anagen),
• strengthens weak, lifeless curls,
• accelerates the growth of new hair.

Due to the use of the drug Aleran, the processes of hair loss quickly stop, the curls even visually look healthier, the length and thickness of the hair increase, the growth of new hairs is actively going on.

Androgenetic alopecia is considered the most unfavorable type of baldness, while remaining the most common cause of complete or partial hair loss. Its prerequisites are associated with a hereditary predisposition to increased activity of the enzyme that affects the transition of the male sex hormone testosterone to DHT (dihydrotestosterone). Genetically determined and the sensitivity of certain receptors of the follicles to DHT, therefore, the negative effect of the hormone on the hair leads to a violation of the duration of the growth phases. As a result, a significant amount of hair turns into telogen and then falls out.

Hair loss with androgenetic alopecia is not a one-time phenomenon. It develops slowly, among men - after 25-40 years, among women - after 30-55 years. At first, the hair is thinning, bald areas and broad partings appear, the hair becomes thinner, and later it falls out with the formation of noticeable bald spots.

Alerana - a drug that not only slows down androgenic baldness, but also helps to restore the lost part of the hair. Of course, the result will not be very fast, because the growth of new hair is a process with a physiologically established duration. The pronounced loss of curls will stop after 2-6 weeks of using Alerana, and at the beginning there will appear those hairs that were lost last. If you start using the tool at the first signs of alopecia, you can quickly and efficiently achieve positive results. In any case, the moment of growth of the new locks is an individual feature of the patient, but approximately in the area of ​​bald spots the hair begins to appear in 3-4 months. If the head is bald a long time ago, the first hairs may differ from the rest in color and structure, for example, to be lighter, thinner. Gradually, their appearance is normalized and becomes indistinguishable from the rest.

In addition to pinacidil, Alean’s shampoo contains tea tree oil, a well-known antiseptic, as well as a care product for the scalp, preventing dandruff and moisturizing hair.

Pharmacokinetics

The drug Alerana has only local effects.

Aleran shampoo is designed to care for the scalp and prevent hair problems. The shampoo is recommended as an independent means for thinning, thinning, hair loss of a dull character. Also, the tool can be used in parallel or alternately with other products of the series.

Balm for women Alerana has a stimulating effect, therefore, it is used for more pronounced progressive baldness in women.

Balance for men Aleran includes the highest concentration of active substances and is recommended for use only in men with moderate or severe hair loss. The drug is designed specifically for the treatment of male alopecia, therefore, acts intensely and quickly. When applied locally in women, the remedy may have some side effects (for example, an increase in undesirable "vegetation").

Dosing and Administration

Aleran's balsam spray is a liquid substance for application to the roots of curls. The liquid is placed in a bottle with a convenient spray nozzle. The liquid is colorless, dries quickly, does not spoil the clothes with stains or drips. The dosage recommended when using balsam spray is 1 ml. at one time, or 7 presses of the spray head. The drug is applied topically to dry scalp in problem areas, and then thoroughly rubbed. Female balsam should be used 1-2 times per day (1 ml.), Male - similar.

If you use the tool 1 time per day, this can successfully prevent the progression of alopecia.Alopecia, which occurs on the background of various diseases and stresses, stops completely, therefore, after elimination of these factors, the treatment of Alerana can be immediately stopped.

A more intensive course of therapy (2 applications of Alerana per day) is recommended for those who have lost a significant part of the hair, and their restoration is required. 3-4 month courses are needed twice a year if hair loss develops slowly with age. Allowed and continued use of the Aleran series, as with androgenetic alopecia after the cancellation of therapy, the hair gradually returns to baseline.

The use of balm and shampoo Aleran shown:

• with slight hair loss,
• in order to prevent the progression of baldness,
• in the form of a supportive agent during the period of cancellation of treatment with balm-spray.

Contraindications Individualized intolerance and excessive sensitivity to their components are the means of therapy with Aleran.

Side effects

Usually, tolerability of Aleran preparations is good. Side effects are very rare. There is a risk of unwanted hair growth if the drug accidentally gets on a part of the body or face. Therefore, treatment is recommended to be carried out carefully. Acceptance of pinacidil inside is strictly prohibited! The drug is a strong hypertensive agent, but when used externally, no connection with changes in blood pressure was noted.

Precautionary measures

If, against the background of use, a rapid and sudden hair loss begins, you should immediately consult a doctor. Joint application of Aleran preparations and styling products is allowed, but after using the medicine, it is worth waiting 5-15 minutes before it dries. Before performing a perm and dyeing, you must thoroughly wash your hair to wash off the remnants of the drug.

Often, with androgenetic alopecia, especially in men and the elderly, after treatment ends, new hair may begin to fall out again. Therefore, patients with this type of alopecia should use Alerana twice a year, which will support the healthy state of the hair and the constant activity of the follicles.

Innovative solution for hair problems

A real rejuvenating complex for hair has become a real gift for those who dream of a luxurious hairstyle. It includes two products: a spray balsam and a set of two Healthy Hair System massage brushes. Such an integrated approach restores the strength of the hair and contributes to their renewal even with baldness or severe damage, as evidenced by reviews of grateful users.

The main active components of the balsam-spray steel are pinacidil, D-panthenol, and nettle extract.

Pinacidil - this ingredient is designed to directly affect the hair bulbs, it improves blood circulation, intensively nourishes them, neutralizes androgenic effects. As a result of this effect, the hair follicles are restored, the growth phase for the hair is prolonged, they stop falling out. Pinacidil is a non-hormonal substance, which is of no small importance (in the reviews, special attention is paid to this).

D-panthenol perfectly moisturizes the scalp, prevents dandruff, makes hair manageable and shiny.

Nettle extract is a component of old home-made recipes, it restores the natural color of hair and normalizes the sebaceous glands.

Balm action - spray and results

The main purpose of a balm spray is to treat, not create a short-term cosmetic effect. With its help, at first the process of reproduction of hair is restored, which, due to certain circumstances, was broken, inactive hair bulbs “wake up”, more active growth begins.

The next step is to strengthen and improve the appearance of the existing hair.

Laboratory studies and user reviews showed the following results of the use of balm:

• after a week of use, the amount of lost hair has decreased by three times,
• hair became stronger, the thickness of the hairs increased,
• hair began to grow much faster
• natural hair color began to recover,
• no unwanted side effects were observed.

Reviews of those who used the drug, confirm that, after applying the balm, the hair becomes smooth and elastic, the fragility of the tips and the untidy look are completely eliminated, home recipes of such indicators did not give for the same period of time.

What is stemoxidin

It was nice to lay curls with love and attention, especially when they had only recently been little pleased with length and strength, but the emergence of a substance like stemoxine for hair growth simply and effortlessly helped solve this problem. It is necessary to say at once that not only women suffer from hair fall, thinning and cross-sections, men to some extent also often experience problems with hair.

Why this remedy is so popular with women .. >>

And it is especially pleasant that stemoxidine is quickly able to help both women and men. How does this wonderful tool work? To begin with, we note that a hair goes through several stages in its entire life: it grows, thickens, and then gives way to another hair. Before entering a new phase, “hibernation” begins, when the hairs freeze and slow down their active growth. During this period, interaction with stem cell populations occurs and a period of growth is launched.

But if the hair hardens for too long in “hibernation” it remains “empty” and, thus, the curls thin out and grow very slowly. In order for a hair to grow and at rest it is actively necessary to deliver nutrients directly to its base. This is what the action of stemoxidin is directed to. Read more about problems with curls, read the article "Total hair loss during pregnancy."

Stemoxidin for hair growth

It is still quite unknown about the use of stemoxidin to accelerate the growth of curls. But we can already say with confidence that this is a real breakthrough in the field of treatment for the loss of strands, both in the initial stage and in the case of total male pattern baldness. Many companies have already released a line of products based on stemoxidin and, of course, other useful substances are included:

• healthy oils
• herb and flower extracts
• extracts from unique plants,
• special nutritional components necessary for moisturizing curls.

The ideal solution to restore your hair in just 96% of the cost. Offer is limited .. >>

At the moment - this is still a novelty, as scientists are constantly conducting research in the field of the targeted action of this substance.

But one thing is definitely clear - the use of stemoxidin will help to cope with alopecia, as well as loss of strands after childbirth and hormonal disruptions.

Since in the period of "hibernation" the hairs will not linger and, receiving nutrients, will "rebel" more quickly and will begin full and active growth. For more informative look in the article "Why is hair loss in women."

Stemoxidine based products

In addition to all the above, it should be noted that the effect of stemoxidin for hair growth helps not only to get rid of the problem of losing curls, but also makes it possible to strengthen the strands from the inside.

Quite often it happens that nutrients are not able to penetrate to the "destination" because of related factors: increased fat content of the scalp, dandruff and too dry surface, as if covered with scales.

All this prevents the curls from growing and developing properly, but the use of stemoxidin for hair helps to solve this problem completely. Moisturizers in sprays, masks, shampoos and conditioners simply penetrate the very "essence" of each hair and act from the inside. Giving the opportunity, the whole mass of curls to grow quickly, and most importantly, strong and strong, not lingering in the period of sleep for a long time.

Anastasia Sidorova has amazing hair of a fiery color. However, not so long ago, the girl struggled with hair loss.

Products based on stemoxidin contain additional drugs and you can learn more about this in consultation with your doctor. Since this is still a new product, it is possible that this is exactly what will really solve all the problems with rare and prone strands. Read more in the material "Diffuse hair loss - causes and treatment." Do you already know about this innovative hair product?

Stemoxidine for hair growth - the future panacea or empty promises

Seasonal and postpartum thinning of hair, the development of alopecia in men and women is a common phenomenon. Unpleasant changes in the image can not be left without attention, active actions will be required (special procedures, the use of growth stimulants). A significant breakthrough in solving the hair problem was made by French scientists of L’oreal Research, creating stemoxidin for hair growth. The innovative component is the main competitor to Minoxidil, a well-known hair growth stimulator. What is the secret of stemoxidine, the principle of its action will be revealed further in the article.

Operating principle

The creation of stemoxidin was accompanied by long and painstaking studies of stem cells. The main goal of the developers was to influence their activity, speed up the division and awaken the follicle, but more on that later.

The life cycle of each hair, scientists have divided into phases:

• anagen - the most active phase, during which the hair shaft grows. This period lasts up to 5-6 years,
• catagen - Stabilization phase, accompanied by a decrease in active processes within the follicles and cessation of growth. On time frames, this process takes about a month. As a result, an atrophy of the papilla is observed, the hair bulb shortens, approaches the surface of the skin,
• telogen - This is the period of rest and hair loss. The follicle sleep phase varies significantly and can last from several months to 30 years.

Scientists around the world paid attention to the phases of growth and stabilization, their development was aimed at preserving the hair. The scientists of the laboratory Loreal introduced a completely new view on the stimulation of growth, they were interested in the rest phase. They managed to synthesize an ingredient that would act on the stem cells of the follicle, mimicking around them a hypoxic environment (almost devoid of oxygen).

Such changes, as it turned out, force the cells to actively divide and awaken inactive follicles, stimulating the growth of a new hair shaft. The name of this ingredient is Stemoxidine.

So, the principle of the innovative component is to create favorable conditions for the active division of stem cells, the awakening of the follicle, its transition from the resting phase to the phase of active growth.

Note! Scientists Loreal argue that with the help of stemoksidin can affect the production of new follicles. They promise active hair growth and an increase in the number of hair follicles at the same time.

In what cases is used

Stemoxidin is just a component which is added to masks, lotions, serums, ampoules and other growth stimulants.

It is recommended to use products with an innovative ingredient in such cases:

• the patient has alopecia of various forms and types,
• hair falls out strongly
• there is a thinning of hair in some areas or over the entire surface of the head.

Growth activators with stemoxidin can be used by those who dream of long and thick curls.

Contraindications

The creators of stemoxidin insist on the absolute safety of the drug. Confidence users also give long-term research and analysis of the company-developer. There are patients who doubt such promises, due to the young age of the development and insufficient study of the active component by outside scientists, experts.

Another point: Stemoxidin - is part of the means for the hair. It is necessary to refuse a cosmetic product to patients with individual intolerance of its other components.

Important! Serious side effects when using cosmetics with stemoksidin were not identified. However, this is not a reason to neglect the requirements of the manufacturer and the recommendations of the attending specialist.

Cosmetics with the addition of a revolutionary ingredient has a high price. For example, the purchase of ampoules against the fallout of Vichy / Vichy Derkos Neojenik (there are 28 of them in a package) will cost from 4,600 rubles. Shampoo from the same series, with a volume of 200 ml, costs an average of 800 rubles.

Is Stemoxidin the same minoxidil only more expensive? An innovative substance patented by L'Oreal promises a thousand new hair in just 6 weeks! Comparison of the composition with a more expensive analogue of Vichy Dercos Neogenic!

Not so long ago, I experienced a prolonged and prolonged hairfall. For months, I struggled with varying success for maintaining the density of various means inside and outside (all the links at the end of the review), and I finally managed to significantly reduce, and most importantly stabilize, prolapse. Since my hair grew well during hairfall, I basically waited for Vichy Dercos Densi-Solutions serum to consolidate the results, strengthen and grow more healthy hair, and simply assist in growing an existing gun.

Concentrated scalp serum intensively affects the roots, awakening dormant follicles and thus stimulating the growth of new hair. With each use, the hair becomes noticeably stronger and thicker.

PACKAGING

In Vichy, the entire Densi-Solutions line looks stylish, concise, pharmacy-based. Whey is no exception:

STEMOXIDINE 5% is a patented molecule with clinically proven efficacy. Creates optimal conditions for the growth of new hair.

RESVERATROL, a powerful antioxidant derived from Japanese Reinutria, prevents damage to the scalp from free radicals and enhances Stemoxidin.

Restores hair density in 6 weeks, clinically proven.

+1000 new hairs in 6 weeks.

1600 new hair in 3 months.

96% - hair is noticeably denser.

91% - hair looks voluminous.

95% - hair is noticeably stronger.

Concentrated scalp serum intensively affects the roots, awakening dormant follicles and thus stimulating the growth of new hair. With each use, hair becomes noticeably stronger and thicker.

Note that the manufacturer promises only rebirth and awakening the sleeping folliclesIt is due to this increasing the number of new hair. Many for some reason miss the first part, and therefore some buyers perceive the phrase "new hair" in the literal sense, but more on that below.

While I would like to draw attention to such an active component as STEMOXIDINE 5%very in tune with MINOXIDYL - A means to prevent hair loss with alopecia. Actually, some sources on the Internet claim that Stemoksidin 5% is something between 2 and 5% Minoxidil, and the formula of the latter has undergone only a few, noncritical changes.

STEMOXIDINE 5% You can also find it in another product from Vichy - a means for the growth of new hair Dercos Neogenic, 28 vials of 6 ml each of which cost a horse amount (5313 rubles). Interestingly, the course for getting results is 3 months with daily use, with Densi-Solutions the same

After 2 weeks of use, 80% of people noted a significant increase in hair density

and after 6 weeks, +1000 new hairs.

COMPOSITION

And let's compare the compositions:

Neogenic:

ALCOHOL DENAT. • AQUA / WATER • DIETHYLLUTIDINATE • CITRIC ACID • SAFFLOWERGLUCOSIDE • PARFUM / FRAGRANCE

Densi-Solutions:

ALCOHOL DENAT. • AQUA / WATER • DIETHYL • PE

The basic composition is identical, but the latter is richer and, in addition to stemoxidin contains peppermint EM, menthol, rhamnose, vitamin E.

aromatic ingredient, which is widely used in cosmetics and perfumes, despite its allergenic potential. In cosmetic and hygienic products, this component functions as a perfume and substance that improves the taste of the product and / or masks its unpleasant odor.

Most upset ALCOHOLS at the first place:

Denatured Alcohol can be extremely drying and irritating to the skin, can lead to the creation of free radicals. People with oily skin should avoid high concentrations of problematic types of alcohol. According to the evil rock, it is the types of alcohol harmful to the skin that are often found in cosmetic products for oily or problematic skin prone to acne. The problem is that alcohol stimulates the nerve endings in the skin, causing irritation, which in its turn leads to even stronger production of fat in the pores of the skin.

CONSTITUTION AND AROMA

Despite a bunch of lemon (and not only) fragrances, in the first place alcohol is felt in the aroma, even alcohol. After it diverges, it becomes a classic for the Densi-Solutions line: fresh, tender, lemon-herbal tip, according to me 100% unripe quince in the garden.

The consistency is very light, like simple water without any nuances:

DISPENSER

The dispenser is stylishly made .:

• the tool is consumed faster
• dirty and bathes in alcohol a large amount of hair.

USING

The method of application is as follows:

Divide hair into 4 partings. Spray 5 presses of serum on the hair roots on each part. Spread over the entire scalp.

And how often to use it?

I think everyone knows that with such means for the result is important. consistency: daily, every three days, at night, after each wash.

Vishy, ​​apparently, offers us not to bother with this question, because such information does not give anywhere: neither on the product, nor on the site. For such a serious company and cost it is an unforgivable flaw. After all, if applied incorrectly, then either you can not see the result, or get bad side effects.

Some ampoule means are used after each wash, so that the active substance affects the skin for a maximum time, while others assume daily use at least some hours before washing.

In the same Neogenic noted that:

One monodose daily, in the morning or in the evening, for dry or wet hair with a massage applicator

So I decided to follow the same systematics.

Since I blow dry my hair, I apply serum to already dried hair, because alcohols are flying substances that evaporate when heated, often taking with them other active ingredients.

When applying, I try to lean the dispenser as close as possible to the skin:

Total do, five partings and five pshikov, while the roots do not look very wet = stained:

And then the minuses begin:

Although, after drying, the roots are visually all the same clean, tactile on them there is something like a styling agent:

I have sensitive skin.

At first I used it in a compartment with shampoo and balsam of the same series, then (after a break) with a Japanese caring brand, the result is one - after three or four applications, I begin to scratch and notice the first dry dandruff, which with further use of the product is only aggravated.

I tried to use Densi-Solutions less often, first once every 2 days, then once every 3 days, the reaction of the b became less intense, however, itching and slight peeling still exist.

Also, I don’t like the “effect of the styler” after the serum on the roots, it quickly eats up the volume:

RESULT

Of course, I did not expect mad hair growth, especially given the fact that I repeatedly had to throw the serum after 1-2 weeks of use.

What did I get from Vichy? No new hair was noticed by me. And this is understandable.

• First, minoxidil products are used LONGLY for effect, for example, 3-5 months.
• Secondly, for the last six months I have often used hair growth-stimulating and stopping agents, which also influenced the activity of the follicles. All the time I have hair fall down, I have a good undercoat growth, with a reduction in hair loss I stopped noticing new hairs, which is natural. The effect of stemoxidine is based on the awakening of dormant bulbs, but if the bulbs are already active, new hair will not come from anywhere (except for transplantation). Of course, at the same time all the follicles can not be active, but how many of them are inactive from me, alas, could not be found because of the previous item.

Although, according to the promises of the manufacturer, after 2 weeks I had to note the thickness of the hair, which, I think, is achieved only visually.

Appreciating adequately the promises I, at a minimum, wanted a favorable environment for the growth of existing hair, including the undercoat, strengthening of the roots and bulbs, saturation of the latter with active substances that will help consolidate the result of the "anti-wrinkle" therapy and awaken the desire of active division in the cells.

In this part there is a result. With the help of Densi-Solutions, I was able to stabilize the results obtained with the help of Alerana - a vitamin from hair loss. Moreover, I came to my daily norm while washing:

CONCLUSION

One side I am pleased with the results:

• normal hair loss

But cons for this result is not enough:

• serum strongly dries the scalp, causing itching and dandruff in sensitive types,
• There are no explanations about the duration and systematic use of serum,
• it is felt on the roots by the type of laying means, in connection with this "kills" the volume.

I will also leave here a couple of neutral facts about the main active ingredient:

Stemoksidin - product development TM L'Oreal. At the moment, it is found only in two brands of this family: Vichy and Kerastase,

funds based on stemoxidin, are of great value,

The budget equivalent of Stemoxidine is Minoxidil. However, it’s not worth talking about the identity of their actions.

What is mesotherapy?

Mesotherapy for hair is a procedure involving the introduction into the scalp of very small doses of substances that allow to improve the structure of the hair and their condition, as well as stimulate the growth of curls. Injections are made with the help of the finest needles, which the specialist plunges into the scalp a few millimeters. If you view the video, you can see that the punctures are so small that blood is almost not excreted. The procedure is not too painful, but at the request of the client a specialist can use anesthetics.

One session lasts on average from 30 to 50-60 minutes, and usually requires at least 8 procedures. The cost of one procedure is on average from 1000 to 3000 thousand, the amount depends on what drugs and formulations are used. Reviews of this type of injection therapy are mostly positive.

What formulations are used?

All formulations for the procedures can be divided into homeopathic and allopathic. The composition of the latter includes synthesized components, as well as substances of animal or vegetable origin, minerals, vitamins, organic acids, and so on.

Homeopathic medicines contain almost microscopic doses of natural ingredients that should trigger the most important processes.

Also preparations for hair can be classified by composition:

• Monopreparations. They contain one active ingredient.
• Ready-made complexes contain several substances at once.
• Cocktails are prepared by the beautician himself, immediately prior to the procedure, mixing various components (monopreparations). In this case, hair mesotherapy will take into account individual characteristics and solve existing problems.

Components of drugs

All substances that are part of the means for carrying out the procedures are divided into three groups:

• Active or core. They have a direct impact on the roots and hair structure, as well as on the bulbs and eliminate the causes of loss.
• Allopathic components provide replacement therapy and allow you to stimulate growth and improve hair structure.
• Auxiliary substances normalize the processes of blood supply and blood circulation and ensure the proper nutrition of the bulbs.
• Homeopathic components contain microdoses of basic substances and, in fact, should treat like like (this is the basic principle of homeopathy).

Usually drugs, the use of which involves the mesotherapy of hair, contain the following components:

• synthetic substances (products of biological technology and genetic engineering (stem cells, hyaluronic acid),
• components of animal origin, such as elastin or collagen,
• minerals: nickel, cobalt, zinc, silicon, selenium, phosphorus, sulfur and others,
• vitamins (most commonly used are E, C, B, P and E groups),
• medicinal components can be used only for special reasons,
• organic acids (use only two: pyruvic and glycolic),
• plant extracts (for example, chamomile, gingko biloba, mimosa, clover, artichoke, and so on).

Now we list some drugs, the use of which involves the mesotherapy of hair:

• "F-HAIR". Mesotherapy with the use of this tool will allow you to stimulate hair growth, moisturize the roots and scalp, as well as strengthen the hair follicles, roots and the entire fabric. The composition includes substances such as zinc, magnesium, iron, organic silicon, calcium, panthenol, biotin, gingko biloba extract, pyruvic acid, low molecular weight hyaluronic acid, as well as an extract of the Asian Centella.
• “Dermaheal HL” is a regenerating and therapeutic agent that improves blood circulation in the root zone, provides follicles with all necessary and “wakes” them up, and moistens not only the hair, but also the scalp. In total, there are over 50 components, including: cytosine, biotin, thymine, leucine, arginine, tryptophan, valine, niacin, lysine, pyridoxine, vitamin C, riboflavin, folic acid, and much more. This tool is shown not only for alopecia, but also for thinning hair, as well as for early graying.
• "Keractive" - ​​a complex tool, which consists of a variety of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins. It is recommended for non-androgenetic alopecia. When used, the blood supply and the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues of the scalp are normalized and improved, which stimulates the hair follicles and accelerates growth.
• “Meso Hair System” is a multi-ingredient product. Mesotherapy with its use will significantly improve the condition of hair rods, roots and structures, as well as stimulate growth in a short time. The effectiveness of the tool is due to its rich composition, which includes copper peptide, hyaluronic acid, a whole complex of various growth factors (fibroblast, vascular and insulin), as well as coenzyme Q.
• “Mesopecia” is a remedy indicated for androgenetic (that is, hereditary) baldness, as well as deterioration of the quality and structure of the hair. Mesotherapy with the use of this composition will help to normalize the trophism of tissues and stimulate the follicles, transferring them to the phase of active growth. The blood supply will also improve and oxygen will be supplied to the tissues. The composition includes such active substances as biotin, vitamin B6, dexpanthenol and others.
• Hairloss is a formulation based on biotin, azelaic acid, pyridoxine, zinc, gingko biloba extract, minoxidil, and other active substances. The ratio of all components and their activity allows us to “wake up” dormant bulbs and put them into the growth phase, improve the structure and hair layer, as well as normalize blood circulation.

All drugs, the use of which involves mesotherapy, are quite effective, and this is confirmed by numerous reviews. You can also view a photo or video to see if it works. But the real effect is possible only if the procedure and the selection of a particular tool is carried out by a professional. There are negative reviews, but not so many.

Issue price

The cost of drugs varies in the range of 500-1500 rubles. It is not so easy to purchase them, and, in principle, it is not necessary to do this, because the procedure will be performed by a beautician in any case, and he has a whole range of products. The price of a single mesotherapy session is about 1000-3000 rubles.

In any case, remember the need for expert advice!
