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

• uter 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

• verlapping scales. It is both the

cortex and the medulla that holds the hair's pigment, giving it its color.

Cycle of Hair Growth

Hair on the scalp grows about .3 to .4 mm/day or about 6 inches per year. Unlike 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, and 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 and 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% to 8% of all hairs. This phase lasts for 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

“Alopecia” is a medical term which 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 in hair loss as early 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 androgenic 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

• f two pattern types. Androgenic alopecia in women is due to the action of androgens, male hormones that are typically

present in only small amounts.

LLLT is defined as “a cool laser that effectively stimulates the area and causes an increase in blood flow and causes Photo-bio- stimulation” .* Photobiostimulation (PBS) is the biochemical, non-thermal effect that results from the exposure of living tissue to various dosage of energy at varying wavelengths emitted from low level lasers. Five 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. Increase in protein synthesis, causing a change in cell

membrane permeability

• 4. Increased blood circulation by 54% after only one treatment,

providing a supply of nutrients to the hair follicle 5.Clinically proven to increase the size of the Capillaries under the hair follicle

All 5 of the above reactions affect hair growth!! What is Laser Hair Therapy or LLLT?

Multi-Therapeutic Approach

The more someone does, in conjunction with laser, the better their 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.  Scalp Prep to dissolve Sebum and enable the penetration of vassal dilator (either Minoxidil or XGT)  SLS & DEA Free Shampoo  DHT Blocker -XTC DHT Inhibitor  Vassal Dilator (XTC Hair Boost

What Hinders Topicals or Minoxidil from Working Well?

Sebum from sebaceous gland blocks the hair follicle. XGT & XTC Hair Boost (Minoxidil) therefore, cannot penetrate through the sebum as easily to get to the dermal papilla (where hair growth occurs). Minoxidil / Rogaine and other Topicals (which can contains up to 70% alcohol) stays on the surface causing, in many cases, irritation and itching of the scalp and drying of the hair shaft. Minoxidil works at the dermal papilla, not on the scalp surface. Limited Penetration = Limited Results!

Xtreme DHT Complex

How DHT Shrinks and Kills your Hair:



Testosterone is converted to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by 5 Alpha Reductase (5AR) Enzyme.



DHT attaches to the androgen receptors on the hair follicle preventing O2 and Nutrition from Nurturing the follicle.



The lack of O2 and Nutrition gradually miniaturizes the hair follicle and shrinks the hair.



DHT Ages Hair, thinning and weakening the hair diameter



This miniaturized hair follicle eventually dies and hair loss occurs.

How XTC™ Xtreme DHT Inhibitor Stops Hair Loss:



XTC™ Xtreme DHT Inhibitor harmlessly binds to Androgen



Receptors on your hair and stops DHT from binding to hair follicles and shrinking/killing your hair.



With less DHT binding to your androgen receptors, follicles receive the O2 and nutrition they need to start to grow and resume a strong cycle of hair growth.



Over time, XTC™ Xtreme DHT Inhibitor & Total Hair Nutrient™ will reverse the aging and thinning of the hair

• shaft. It will strengthen weak and thinning hair, allowing

a strong healthy growth cycle. Miniaturized hairs can grow bigger and dormant hair follicles can be stimulated with Xtreme Laser™ Hair Treatment to start to grow again.

We Chart Your Progress!

Check-Ups are critical: Every month we would like to see you, but it is very important on months 1, 3 & 6. Month #1 – we need to see that the program is working – we should notice a cleaner scalp Month 3 is important, because if it is not working as aggressively as you would like, we can modify your program to get you quicker results. You are going to see results under the scope before you see them in the mirror, and seeing results keeps momentum high, which keeps compliancy high. We will take digital photographs every 3 months.

Global leader in laser hair loss treatment since 1987

How will long will it take to see results?

Everyone is different! That is why each client’s individual needs are determined during our medical consultation. Most people see hair loss slow or stop in the first few months and then some hair regrowth in the first 2-4-6 months. However, some people require between 6 months to 1 year to see results. Best result are generally seen in the first 12 to 24 months, therefore, we recommend 1 year programs for most people. If you are not seeing the results you want at 3 or 6 months, we can easily adjust your program to include other treatments like higher strength Minoxidil and/or added laser.
