Hair Shaft

The hair shaft is made of a hard protein called keratin and is made in three layers. This protein is actually dead, so the hair that you see is not a living structure. The inner layer is the medulla, the second layer is the cortex, and the outer layer is the cuticle. The cortex makes up the majority of the hair shaft. The cuticle is a tightly formed structure made of shingle-like overlapping scales. It is both the cortex and the medulla that hold the hair’s pigment, giving it its colour.

Cycle of Hair Growth

Hair on the scalp grows about .3 to .4 mm/day, or about 6 inches per year. Unlike that of other mammals, human hair growth and shedding is random and not seasonal or cyclical. At any given time, a random number of hairs will be in one of three stages of growth and shedding: anagen, catagen, or telogen.

Anagen is the active phase of the hair. The cells in the root of the hair are dividing rapidly. A new hair is formed and pushes the club hair (a hair that has stopped growing or is no longer in the anagen phase) up the follicle and eventually out. During this phase, the hair grows about 1 cm every 28 days. Scalp hair stays in this active phase of growth for two to six years.

The catagen phase is a transitional stage; about 3% of all hairs are in this phase at any time. This phase lasts for about two to three weeks. Growth stops and the outer root sheath shrinks and attaches to the root of the hair. This is the formation of what is known as a club hair.

Telogen is the resting phase and usually accounts for 6-8% of all hairs. This phase lasts about 100 days for hairs on the scalp and longer for hairs on the eyebrow, eyelash, arm and leg. During this phase, the hair follicle is completely at rest and the club hair is completely formed. Pulling out a hair in this phase will reveal a solid, hard, dry, white material at the root.

About 25 to 100 telogen hairs are shed normally each day!

Hair Loss

“Alopecia” is a medical term that simply means “hair loss.” Alopecia does not refer to one specific hair loss disease.

Androgenetic alopecia, however, is the #1 cause of hair loss. Androgenetic alopecia can cause an experience of hair loss as early as the teenage years.

For men, this type of baldness is typically characterized by hair loss that begins at the temples and crown. The end result may be partial or complete baldness. Women with androgenetic alopecia usually have hair loss limited to thinning at the front, sides or crown. Complete baldness rarely occurs in women.

The majority of women with androgenetic alopecia have diffuse thinning on all areas of the scalp. Men, on the other hand, rarely have diffuse thinning but instead have more distinct patterns of baldness. Some women may have a combination of two pattern types. Androgenetic alopecia in women is due to the action of androgens, male hormones that are typically present only in small amounts.

How DHT Shrinks and Kills Your Hair

  1. Testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the 5-Alpha reductase (5-AR) enzyme.
  2. DHT attaches to the androgen receptors on the hair follicle.
  3. DHT causes increased hair loss, gradually miniaturizing the hair follicle.
  4. This miniaturized hair follicle eventually dies and hair loss occurs

HLCC takes a multi-therapeutic approach, which includes:

  • The best laser therapy
    —– Laser study showed 93% success with one diode—we use 110-160 diodes
  • All-natural DHT blockers with complete hair nutrition
    —- Blocking DHT showed 90% success—we offer all-natural and the drug
    —- Hair nutrition clinically proven to make hair fuller and thicker
  • Topical products to promote scalp hygiene and improve the scalp environment
    —- Scalp hygiene clinically proven to make hair fuller and thicker

What is Low Laser Hair Therapy or LLLT?

LLLT is defined as “a cool laser that effectively stimulates the area,
causing photobiostimulation and an increase in blood flow.”

 

Photobiostimulation is the biochemical, non-thermal effect that results from the exposure of living tissue to various dosages of energy at varying wavelengths emitted from low-level lasers.

Four distinct effects are known to occur:

  1. An increase in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and protein synthesis, causing an increase in osmotic cellular function
  2. Improved cell proliferation (growth)
  3. Increased protein synthesis, causing a change in cell membrane permeability
  4. An increase in blood circulation by 54% after only one treatment, providing a supply of nutrients to the hair follicle

All 4 of the above reactions affect hair growth!

 

Multi-Therapeutic Approach

  • Scalp Therapy to dissolve sebum and enable the penetration of a vasodilator (MGT)
  • SLS & DEA Free shampoo
  • DHT blocker (either Complete, AA or Propecia® / finasteride)
  • Vasodilator (all-natural MGT)

The more someone does in conjunction with laser, the better the results will be.

However, the more you give someone to do, the less compliant they tend to be—so it is very important to understand each client.

HLCC™ Scripts Complete stops DHT from Killing Your Hair

  1. HLCC™ Scripts Complete harmlessly binds to androgen receptors on your hair and stops DHT from binding to hair follicles and shrinking/killing your hair.
  2. With less DHT binding to your androgen receptors, your hair starts to grow and resumes the normal cycle of hair growth.
  3. With less and less DHT binding, your hair has the chance to grow strong and healthy. Small hairs can grow bigger and your dormant hair can start to grow again.
