Olamine XP Hair Loss Treatment Shampoo
Treatment for androgenic alopecia (male pattern hair loss)
Research by scientists at the Department of Dermatopathology, University of Liege in Belgium have recently published a paper showing that when certain anti-microbial substances, traditionally used to treat dandruff, are incorporated into a shampoo at elevated levels they have a marked effect in the prevention of male pattern hair loss.
When the most effective of these substances, Piroctone Olamine, is incorporated into an appropriate shampoo base and used 2-3 times per week
there is reduction in hair loss by 16.5% and increase the percentage of hairs in the anagen (growing) phase by 7.9%.
Note: A reduction of hair shedding of 16.5% and an increase of 7.9% more hair in anagen, the growing phase of the hair cycle, means that there is a total increase of 24.4% of scalp hair per sq. cm at any given time.
The study also shows that the shampoo increases the hair shaft diameter by 7.7% and reduces the quantity of sebum on the surface of the scalp.
Note: An increase in hair shaft diameter of 7.7% can make a significant difference to the overall appearance of the hair. Also, the reduction in sebum secretion is important as sebum contains dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the hormone which causes male pattern hair loss. Elevated levels of DHT on the scalp are known to exacerbate hair loss when this is allowed to accumulate in the scalp tissues and double-back down the hair follicles to the dermal papilla (the root of the hair).
Our research Trichologist has developed and tested a shampoo (XP15) which not only contains the most effective active ingredients used in the medical study but also added ingredients which enhance the penetration and action of these substances.
The shampoo is mild and can be used by both men and women. It can be used daily if required, but should be used at lease twice a week to be effective.
Olamine XP shampoo also has excellent anti-dandruff properties and will ensure the scalp in optimum condition for hair growth.
