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.

The Worry about Excessive Hairs in Males

By Alma Hnanguie


As we hear the term laser hair removal what constantly comes to mind would be the women on reality tv programs who seem obsessed with spray tans, bikini waxing, or there, as a final and much more hassle-free, more long lasting option, laser hair removal.

In truth, the flourishing cosmetic industry, although still relatively overrun by women on the outside, are inhabited by plentiful-straight, heterosexual, men-on the inside. Generally, clients are not only limited nor categorized by sexual orientation and choices, so let's set aside that impertinent aspect. What one tries to set up would be that, as relatively vain like the womenfolk are, properly, so are some of the men. And, thank goodness for that!

As women appreciate most men who are manly, not many can certainly appreciate the caveman-like hair matting their backs or the tops or their arms. Excessive hairiness has been the subject of many an evening of female bonding and also girl-talk. The talk may start from their own beauty strategies and woes and lead on to the normally laughable and "hairy" predicament of their men. How long does laser hair removal last?

Laser hair removal procedures are not as simple nor could they be pain-free but advancements in technology has made them much, much better over the number of years. Spanning a decade ago, mere vanity won't allow you to get in to the doctor's chair for the treatment. Laser wasn't an option then, all you had was electrolysis, and yes it was equally agonizing and costly. People who would like to have that specific treatment stood a higher reason and desiring to drop their undesirable hair; it definitely went beyond simply looking better. Today, laser hair removal is much more reasonably priced and beauty treatments could go from the okay kind to the most tolerable-despite the fact that it's not pain-free. So, does laser hair removal hurt?

Such is the reason why men who are in great need of "manscaping" may even break free with getting laser hair removal treatments for their backs. Several clinics now have laser hair removal machines that include a sizable treatment head so that big swaths can be rendered hairless in five of six 15-minute trips. This is quite a large improvement compared to what needed to be done before, which was sit for an hour using a topical anesthetic just before therapy. But, although this new technique is much quicker and much more handy, this could also be much more costly.
