Aside from inhibiting DHT with treatments
like Propecia and Revivogen, or stimulating growth with Minoxidil and
Tricomin, the condition of your scalp is of utmost importance in seeing
maximum results in your treatment regimen. The Folligen suite of products
are very highly acclaimed among our users for being great scalp conditioning
and regimen-supplementing hair treatment products. It also makes use of
Copper Peptide technology to stimulate hair growth, like Tricomin.
The original creator of Tricomin therapy spray, Dr. Loren Pickart,
eventually branched off on his own to create a suite of skin and hair
loss products. Folligen comes in three forms: A Spray, a Lotion, and a
Cream. All three products work remarkably well in soothing an irritated
scalp from Minoxidil use, and make use of copper peptides to stimulate
hair growth.
This treatment had its beginning as a skin repair cream that was being
tested in the Dermatology Department at the University of California at
San Francisco. A 41-year-old woman with severe Alopecia tried the cream
because nothing else had worked. In two and a half months she experienced
a significant amount of hair growth. Other people began using the skin
repair cream to counter balding and in time, Folligen emerged as a distinct
product.

Folligen's
Method of Action
|
|
Copper Peptides work to awaken the follicles from
resting phase and cause a larger number to enter into growth phase than
would normally be doing so on one's scalp.
Purified Water, Aloe Vera Gel, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Glycerin, Polysorbate-20,
Allantoin, Cupric Sulfate, Diazolinydinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Propylparaben,
Herbal Fragrance.
There are no known side effects.
A tube of Folligen, used about 4 times per week, should last 30 to 45
days depending on the size of application area. In clinical studies, a
very light coating (approximately 10 milligrams per square centimeter)
was applied to the skin which is then further rubbed into the scalp.
Step 1: Use Folligen Lotion, Cream or Spray to get your scalp in
good shape. Apply a thin coating of Folligen cream or lotion or Folligen
Spray to the scalp. The Cream is better for the hairline and the Lotion
and Spray are easier to apply into heavier hair. Folligen is usually applied
before bedtime. If desired, you may shampoo the Folligen out in the morning.
Then start using 2% Minoxidil along with Folligen If this is not irritating,
move up to Folligen and 5% Minoxidil. Apply the Minoxidil and let it dry
for about a minute, then apply the Folligen
Step 2: If your scalp becomes irritated due to using Minoxidil,
or other topical treatments, stop the treatments temporarily but continue
Folligen When your scalp is okay again, resume the progressive use of
the topical and start again with low quantities or percentages (i.e. -
Minoxidil 2%) and move up to 5%. After a number of cycles of steps 1 and
2, your skin should adjust and you should be able to use both together.
The addition of a DHT blocker to Folligen use may help further. Propecia
and Revivogen are good systemic
and topical DHT Inhibitors.
