What causes hair loss?

Male Pattern Baldness (MPB) is a genetic trait. It’s called Androgenetic Alopecia. It’s inherited from your family. If the men in your family are showing a bald spot on the crown, it’s likely you will too.

This is an issue men have been dealing with for centuries. According to legend, Julius Caesar invented the laurel leaf wreath to cover his receding hairline.

Too bad Julius didn’t have access to Provillus in the days of the Roman Empire.

MPB results from genetic traits, and hormonal causes. Provillus can’t change your genetic history, but it can help with the hormonal causes.

DHT is the hormone involved in hair loss

DHT (dihydrotestostrone) is derived from androgen, a male hormone. As the androgen circulates through the bloodstream, it is converted to DHT by the enzyme, 5-alpha reductase. DHT tends to bind to hair follicle receptors,
causing the follicles to sprout thinner and thinner hairs until nothing regrows, and the follicles eventually wither away.

The life cycle of normal hair growth

Normally, hair has three phases of growth:

  • Anagen – The growth phase, lasts for two to six years. Usually 90% of the hair is in growth phase.
  • Catagen -- A transient phase lasting a few weeks. The hair becomes thinner and the follicle starts shrinking.
  • Telogen – The thinned hairs fall off to make way for new hair. This lasts for two to four months.

When excess DHT is in the bloodstream, it shortens the Anagen, or growth phase, and causes premature shrinkage of the follicles. Because the DHT is bound to the follicle, often the hair will not re-grow normally.


Provillus helps block DHT from strangling your hair follicles.

Minoxidil, the ingredient clinically proven, and approved by the FDA for re-growing your hair, inhibits DHT. This powerful active ingredient works in your hair follicles.

Female Hair Transplant-Have You Thought About It?

By Michael L Max


Male and female hair transplants are not for everybody. Actually, some people are disappointed and dismayed with the outcomes. Several have implemented law actions against hair surgeons and clinics. Some reasons they have given for their dissatisfaction's are:

Underestimating Treatments: Some treatment centers intentionally under estimate the number of graphs required to accomplish a satisfactory outcome. This leads patients to a false hope of getting a full head of hair. When a renewed head of hair does not result, clients are justifiably disgruntled because they failed to get what wanted.

Underestimating Costs. Surgeons provide a preliminary estimate of the fees for the treatment. Most reputable doctors make clear this is an estimate and things frequently change once the treatment starts. They provide a comprehensive accounting of the complete treatment costs. Guard against clinics who low ball prices simply to get patients to start treatment since they know patients have little choice but to finish the procedure.

All hair transplant surgery will create some small scars. However, many people find scars unsightly. People will want to wear their hair short, and they do not want visible scars. There are physicians with limited skills who will produce bigger scars than expected. Hair transplant scaring is a critical subject for a lot of patients.

People with hair transplant surgery can end up having an uneven frontal hair lines. This mistake is created by negligence or incompetency and lack of planning. Skilled reputable surgeons guard against uneven hair lines and take necessary procedures to prevent them.

Some Doctors put fees above their patients welfare. Physicians need high standards so if patients are convinced to have a costly hair transplants doctors are responsible. Horror stories are out there and people are aware of them.

Some potential patients become disillusioned. The result people who are fearful and anxious want to avoid problems will not have hair transplants.
