How Provillus Hair Growth Treatment for Women Works

If your hair loss is due to Female Pattern Baldness, (FPB) a genetic trait, then Provillus is for you. If the women in your family have thinning hair, your hair loss is probably genetic.

Provillus is designed to help with FPB. It contains the only ingredient approved by the FDA to help with hair re-growth.

If your hair loss is caused by pregnancy, certain medications, cancer treatment, or the after-effects of illness, please consult with your doctor. In most cases this type of hair loss is temporary.

Provillus Hair Growth System works in two ways to protect your hair.

•   Provillus topical solution with Minoxidil to be used twice a day.
•   Provillus dietary supplement with hair nourishment. Take one capsule twice a day.
 

Provillus for Women Topical Solution Ingredients

You’ll receive a bottle of Provillus solution, which contains 2% Minoxidil, the FDA approved ingredient for hair re-growth. Gently massage one dropper full of this solution into your affected areas every morning and every night. This stimulates your hair follicles from outside to in.

Your hair must be dry when you do this. Be sure to wash your hands after application.

Horsetail Silica
Horsetail is a descendent of huge, tree-like plants that thrived 400 million years ago during the Paleozoic era. The fresh or dried leaves and stems are used. It’s best collected in the spring when the emerging plants are still shorter than seven inches.  It has been used in folk medicine since the time of the ancient Romans and Greeks.

Para-Amino Benzoic Acid
It is known for its ability to absorb ultraviolet (UV) light, thus reducing wrinkling of the skin. It is widely used in sun block preparations. It may correct loss of pigmentation in skin and hair, prevents hair graying and retards hair loss.

How soon can I expect to see results after using Provillus?

Hair grows slowly. At the start, for the first 2 - 6 weeks, there may be a temporary increase in hair loss - but please don't be alarmed!

This is a perfectly normal reaction to Provillus indicating that the hairs are shifting from a dormant growing phase to an active growing phase.

A little later the new hair should be soft or downy, while later on it could change and become the same colour and thickness as the rest of your hair. However, results may vary.

You should begin to see some improvement in 2 months but in some cases you may need to use Provillus for up to 12 months for you to see your best results.

In order for this to happen you must remember that you need to apply Provillus twice a day, every day.

Since there are no hair follicles on the palms of your hands, it is unlikely that you will grow hair there. However, unwanted hair growth has been reported after an accidental transfer of Provillus from the scalp to other parts of the body.

For this reason, you should remember to wash your hands thoroughly after using Provillus.

No. If you are planning to be in the sun after applying Provillus, use headwear. However make sure that Provillus is dry before donning your hat as there is a slight chance that Provillus may stain some fabrics.

Because Provillus contains an alcohol base, a few users experience skin irritation. This problem is usually temoporary, but if it continues, stop using the product and ask your pharmacist for advice.

In very rare instances Provillus can cause other side effects. If you notice anything unusual, stop using Provillus and see your doctor.

No, there are several factors that can influence the growth of hair or that will determine whether or not Provillus will treat your hair loss.

That's why it's important to discover first whether Provillus is right for you...

Provillus Hair Loss Treatment Formula for Women Articles

Anti-Hair Loss Shampoos : Rub-a-Dub Dub – But Gently Please!

One easy-to-try option is a shampoo specifically designed to increase the health of existing hair and to reduce the rate of hair loss in both men and women. There are several sources to investigate specific shampoos, research studies which can be accessed to determine the effectiveness of many of these products. Good professional sources include dermatologists and licensed cosmeticians who see hair loss conditions frequently and have had the opportunity to observe the efficacy of a variety of shampoos. As well, an Internet “Google” search will provide hundreds of products, complete with testimony and small research studies.

It’s easy to get confused when investigating the hundreds of shampoos available. With some background knowledge of what has shown to be effective in larger, previous studies, however, you can make more intelligent choices about the shampoos you choose for experimentation. And that is the great thing about shampoos – they are relatively inexpensive in this maze of hair loss/regrowth methods, so you can try lots of them without breaking your budget!

1. Surfactants: People feel good when their shampoos lather up nicely. Lather, however, is just for psychological effect. Somehow we believe that the more lather a shampoo produces, the cleaner our hair must be getting. Hogwash! The ingredient that causes lather is call a surfactant and does not have cleaning properties. Other ingredients in shampoos actually do the cleaning. Surfactants are, however, pretty harsh, and, for someone who is experiencing more-than-normal hair loss, surfactants should be avoided. There are lots of shampoos out there without it – try some.

2. Herbal Ingredients: The most notable herb with some success in hair loss difficulty is Saw Palmetto. Shampoos with this ingredient are certainly worth a try. Saw Palmetto seems to inhibit the production of DHT in men, for example, and DHT causes hair follicles to shrink and close up.

3. Nettle and bay have also been helpful to some people. Shampoos which include these might help you too.

4. Essential Oils: These oils are concentrated ones which come from plants such as lavender. From ancient times, these have been used to stimulate healthy hair and to decrease the rate of hair loss. We know that we have much to learn from early medicine men and healers. Perhaps this is another example.

5. Tea Tree Oil: Many swear by this ingredient, and there are several brands of this on the market. So popular are these shampoos, you can find them at most any drug store as well as health product retailers. As an aside, tea tree oil has also been found to be effective in the prevention of head lice infestations.

There are no definitive studies to show that shampoos can actually result in regrowth of hair that is caused by what we all “permanent” conditions, largely the result of heredity and hormones. However, early prevention is important, and experimenting with shampoos during these early stages may provide invaluable help in reducing the rate of loss.

Female Hair Loss Treatment: Where Oh Where Have My Beautiful Trusses Gone?

Female hair loss can be a devastating and socially debilitating condition. As our society glorifies beautiful, long, full, thick hair, sufferers of hair loss are cowering under hats and wigs, feeling alone and depressed, and experiencing great discomfort during intimate times with their husbands or significant others. On the job can be just as bad. There is always that feeling that others are whispering their comments or giving sorrowful looks of sympathy. No one really knows how it feels unless they experience it for themselves.

Treatments vary widely, dependent upon age, cause and general body condition.The first step is to see a physician. Hair loss can be an early sign of some diseases, like Diabetes, and these need to be ruled out. As well, if your scalp is itchy and scaly, it is possible that a bacterial or fungal infection is at work. Fortunately, these can easily be resolved. Women who experience hair loss during or immediately following pregnancy or after surgery should not be alarmed. Chances are, these are temporary conditions and will right themselves. Poor diet and lack of exercise can be culprits as well. The important thing is to rule out any of the simpler, temporary causes and set your mind at ease.

For others, hair loss is considered a permanent condition. Whether a result of heredity or hormones, it is there to stay unless treatments can be successful.

There are separate treatments for the reduction in the rate of hair loss and for the potential regrowth of hair that is already gone.

For reduction in rate only, the following suggestions are widely made:

1. Stop using harsh shampoos – those with surfactants(lathering ingredients) are tough on hair and can cause early demise of hair strands.

2. Stop using dry heat methods of drying and styling. Get a hair style that does not require so much blow-drying or, worse, curling irons.

3. Stop coloring and treating so much – these processes damage hair, and, as it is brushed or combed, greater loss will be the result.

4. Fix your diet – well-balanced meals, particularly high in protein and natural oils can help.

5. Exercise more to increase the blood supply to your scalp. Increased blood supply can help to keep follicles healthy and producing.

6. Try to reduce your reactions to stress and anxiety. If you have normal stressors that are typical in your day, find time to relax and get peaceful. Yoga and other forms of meditation can help to reduce your stress and anxiety.

7. Try “natural remedies” – these include essential oils and herbs which, in various mixtures, can be spread on the scalp and help follicles to remain open and healthy. For reduction in rate and the potential of regrowth, there are a variety of medical options. These are advertised through all media, and most include research results which show the levels of effectiveness. Some contain both man-made chemicals and natural ingredients, some one or the other. Solid investigation and some experimentation are warranted, so that you find the one that works best for you. This can be a lengthy process, because you may have to wait 3-6 months to determine effectiveness. Female equivalents of medicines such as rogain, Provillus, and Propecia are available – and be certain you use the ones for women only.

Wigs and hair extensions can provide relief, and some women accept these as their permanent solutions.

Surgery is expensive, but many opt for it every day. Female pattern baldness responds best to this method, because hair is still relatively thick in the back and can be transplanted to front and crown areas. Hair grafts are also an option when there is an overall balding concern.

Fortunately, a great deal of money is being poured into this problem. Research labs across the world are working continuously to develop medical preventions and cures. Progress is being made, and the wise sufferer of hair loss will keep abreast of any new research which surfaces.

Female Hair Loss Treatment: Hats are For Fashion Not to Covering Up Your Bald Spots!

Nothing can be more devastating for a women than to realize that her hair is coming out far more extensively and rapidly than is normal. (Normal is 100-150 strands a day). Each hair grows for a period of 2-6 years, goes through a short dormant period and then falls out as the follicle pushes through a new hair. When new hairs do not replace the old or when hair is coming out in clumps or sections, there is definite cause for concern.

Female hair loss comes from a variety of causes – some temporary, some permanent. Temporary causes include pregnancy, anxiety and stress, too many strong treatments (coloring, bleaching), too much manipulation, illness, disease, and infections of the scalp. Fortunately, regrowth occurs naturally when as these causes dissipate. Permanent hair loss occurs as a result of heredity and hormonal changes and unfortunately is not reversed naturally. Women usually see hair loss begin at areas of parts, where parts become wider. Female pattern baldness occurs primarily in the frontal areas; then, there is general overall hair loss, resulting in a continual thinning of the entire head with the scalp becoming more and more visible.

Treatments for female hair loss include a number of things:

1. Diet plays some role in hair loss, so it is important to commit to a healthy well-balanced diet at all times.

2. Exercise increases blood circulation to all areas of the body, the scalp included. Some studies have shown that increased blood circulation to the scalp can assist in the stimulation of follicles to begin to produce hair again.

3. There are a number of natural herbal and oil remedies, most of which are topical, that is, they involve applying solutions directly onto the scalp with the effect of opening up closed follicles and enhancing the chance of hair production. These have varying degrees of success, dependent upon the individual.

4. Wigs and hair extensions can provide non-permanent relief for sufferers and, fortunately, these are considered acceptable fashion accessories today.

5. A number of medical products have also been developed specifically for females. It is important to state here that women must be certain that products they use are specifically designed for them. Male hair products often have ingredients which can be harmful to women, particularly those of child-bearing age. Medical products are available through prescription and over-the-counter. It would be wise to consult with a physician first, before using any of these, to be certain that they are not contradicted with any other medication currently being used and to be certain that the hair loss is not the result of some other medical condition. Provillus has products designed specifically for women, and is FDA approved. Research studies on the effectiveness of these and other products, in terms of both reducing loss and promoting regrowth, is readily available on the internet, through a “Google” search. Some offer money-back guarantees, and most have testimonies from satisfied users. Success varies by individual, and success or lack of success from one customer does not necessarily relate to your body’s response.

6. There are also a number of surgical procedures available for women, including transplants and grafts. These are expensive and should be explored carefully before committing to the cost.

The distress over hair loss is an individual matter. If yours bothers you on a daily basis and you are beginning to avoid normal social activities due to embarrassment, you owe it to yourself to take action. Life is to be enjoyed!

Different types of Hair Loss Among Women

There are different types of hair loss among women. One of the most common kinds of hair loss is called Androgenetic Alopecia, otherwise known as Female Pattern Alopecia. Alopecia, which mean being bald, does not necessarily mean total loss of hair. To be precise, it is simply the receding of the hairline mostly above and in front of your head. Most of those affected are only one third of the prone population, but it is usually happening after menopause.

The pattern for hair loss in women may be noted with excess loss, but what brings women to professionals is the continuous thinning of the hair. It is an average of 100-150 hair strands per day that a person shed and people who already have thin hair have lower number of shedding. There is a pattern on hair loss in women. When the hair is being shed, roots grow shorter hair afterwards. After a while, it appears to be fuzzy. The genetic relations of both parents are also a factor on hair loss.

Women should remember that they may start losing hair after they give birth or an unbalanced use of birth control pills. Sudden mood swings and physical stress may also occur. Telogen Effluvium, a kind of hair loss, may only be temporary. Take note that Telogen Effluvium may be delayed for a few months. Usually three.

Luckily, there are innovations to help women deal with this kind of problem. There are treatments available to overcome this situation, and it usually starts with a Rogaine. Rogaine is currently the only available FDA approved medication for hair loss on women. Propecia, another well-known solution, does not work on the female gender at all. There are also follicular units and minigraft methods that transplant doctors use to deliver great results to their female clients. But you have to be qualified for the treatment first.

If sometimes the effort is still not enough, you may want to seek professional counseling. There are still a few options such as dyes and other cosmetic selections to enhance the appearance. You may find specialists to help you deal with your hair loss problem.

Diabetes and Hair Loss: Don’t Lose Your Hair Because of Diabetes

Quite often, significant hair loss can alert an individual to the possibility of the development of diabetes. If an individual is losing hair in larger than normal quantities, and the loss does not appear to be common pattern hair loss, evaluation by a medical professional would be warranted. The reason is this: diabetes is a disease that is hormonal related, and this imbalance can often be seen first in loss of hair. The links between hair loss and diabetes are as follows:

1. Diabetes causes poor blood circulation. Poor blood circulation can affect the ability of hair follicles to operate normally. Under normal conditions, hair grows for 2-6 years; then it goes into a period of dormancy, and eventually it dies and falls out as a new strand is produced in the follicle to push it out. When blood circulation is poor, the follicle is not producing a new strand as normal, the old strand dies and falls out, and there is no replacement hair. Further, strands tend to die and fall out more quickly when blood circulation to the head area is poor. Therefore, more hair falls out and is not replaced, creating much thinner hair.

2. Diabetics are more susceptible to skin conditions, and skin conditions on the scalp can cause hair loss. Both bacterial and fungal infections of the scalp can interrupt the normal growth process of hair.

3. The medication often prescribed and taken for diabetes can interrupt the normal cycle of hair growth. More often, this is reversed as the body adjusts to the medication, but anyone beginning medications should be aware of this.

4. Diabetes causes both physiological and psychological stress and anxiety. Stress and anxiety are direct factors in hair loss. Dehydration is a factor as well. When coupled with stress, it can be a killer for hair.

If you have hair loss related to diabetes, here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Wait to see if the condition will right itself once you have been on your medication for some time. This may take a few or more months.

2. Keep your body hydrated. Eight glasses (8 0z. each) should be consumed daily, no matter what other liquids you consume.

3. Exercise regularly. Exercise increases blood circulation, and your head will be a recipient of that increased circulation. Your follicles will love you for it.

4. Try Yoga or some other form of relaxation to relieve stress and anxiety.Diabetes is a significant diagnosis and a life-changing illness. Follow your physician’s instructions carefully and continue to do those things that you know are good for your general health. Hair health is affected by all that you do and consume.

Curing Hair Loss: Hair Like Samson (before he met Delilah)

A multi-millionaire will be made one day – the day a scientific researcher finds a simple, inexpensive, universally successful hair regrowth product. And that day will come. The amount of money being funneled into hair loss research is phenomenal, and as long as our society puts such great stock in appearance and beautiful heads of hair, the research will continue until that simple cure is found.

Until then, men and women must investigate and experiment with a variety of products which will have a variety of results, dependent upon the individual. Each human body is unique, with unique levels of hormones, chemicals, and enzymes. For this reason, to date, there is not a universal cure. Some people experience reduction in hair loss and solid regrowth, while others using the same product may not see the same results.

For those who experience less than desired results from the variety of topicals, pills, herbs and hair products available, there are currently surgical “cures,” if they have the financial wherewithal to pursue them. These involve a variety of transplant techniques and can be tedious and a bit painful. Such cures are available for both men and women.

Transplants: In transplants, a hair strip is taken from a donor area of the scalp, usually the back, because pattern baldness in both men and women usually does not affect the back of the head. From these stips, individual follicles are extracted and then implanted into the bald area of the scalp. The “art” of this procedure is to get the follicle in so that the slant of the hair is correct for that part of the head. There are usually 1-5 hairs in each follicle, so you can imagine how many transplants have to occur if someone wants a full thick head of hair to replace a completely bald spot. The average cost of transplant, per follicle is $4 - $6. The average cost of pattern baldness transplants is about $10,000.00 – a hefty bill for most of us. For women who have overall balding events, the cost can be greater still.

If you do not have $10,000 to spend at the moment and you must wait until regrowth products improve, you may have to be content with less preferable but effective methods like using Provillus available at www.revitalady.com. There have been great advances in hair pieces for men, and wigs are as much a fashion accessory as jewelry for women. If you select this route, buy a good one and go to a professional who is widely experienced in developing unique hair pieces for individual needs. Generally, you get what you pay for. Fit and ability to have confidence that wind and lots of movement will not move your hair piece are extremely important. While not the permanent cure you really want, the embarrassment of societal reaction to your baldness is eliminated.

Keep abreast of research in the area of hair loss cures. Scientists are close, and the answer could come any day. In the meantime, do what makes you feel comfortable and confident, and use any product that helps you reduce the rate of your current hair loss. Stress and anxiety over this condition will only make it worse.
