How does tricomin work?

[LostWind]

Hi,

Sorry if the topic is not exactly to the point...
I started Tricomin about a week ago ..
Its great...lowered itching to the minimum..

I have one question though..
Before tricoming when i used to brush my hair....I used to see many small hairs (vellus? Miniaturized?) on the brush...and now that I use it for a week I dont see the small hairs anymore just only see some normal full length/width hairs....

I dont understand why...small hairs stopped falling and I only see normal sized hair on the brush...

Did anyone experience this?

Thanks..

i barely started it about a week ago also.

So far i really like it. I dont comb my hair though so i dont know if that would happen. My hair is still in pretty good shape so i make it all messy. I just have a slightly receding hairline. I might get a few hairs on my hand at the most even when using hair paste which is very sticky.

can anyone explain to me what tricomin actually does please?

it is an anti-oxidant that can eliminate superoxide. superoxide either reacts with NO or in some other way tells hair follicles to enter catagen instead of staying in anagen. NO tells them to stay in anagen.

I guess anti-oxidants may have other health benifits, and I heard minoxidil hels protect blood vessels. But it seems these things just play wiht the growth cycle, instead of actually stopping the balding process. Since minoxidil acts like NO, whereas anti-oxidants protect it, there may be an additive effect between the minoxdil and anti-oxidants, but probably not amount the anti-oxidants, though I think the fat soluble ones would compliment the water soluble ones.


for full synergy, i use minoxidil, water soluble and fat soluble anti-oxidants in mixtures, immuno supressant, anti-inflammatory, 5ar inhibitor, androgen receptor blocker, NO producers, nizoral. I try to do it in a way that is easy to keep up with an is non-irritating and won't have reactions and is cheap.

As noted above, the derivatives of the present invention are useful in stimulating the growth of hair in warm-blooded animals. While one of the characteristics associated with male pattern baldness is the severe diminution of hair follicles, use of the derivatives as described herein results in increased adipocyte formation, which is spatially and temporally linked with hair follicle formation, and is an integral phase of hair follicle formation (Hausman et al., Am. J. Anat. 161: 85-100, 1981). The results of the use of the derivatives as described herein are illustrated in FIGS. 3A and 3B, which are microphotographs of a control area and an area of enhanced hair growth, respectively. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 3B, the hair follicles 12 (dark objects) are embedded in a heavy field of large, subcutaneous fat cells 14 (white rounded cells) surrounded by blood capillaries 16.

The enhancement of subcutaneous fat in areas associated with increased hair growth is highly significant. Male pattern baldness is intimately associated with a dramatic reduction in the amount of subcutaneous fat associated with hair follicles that are nonproductive. Conversely, during periods of rapid hair growth in mammals, the subcutaneous fat content increase two- to threefold.

The derivatives of the present invention have clinical use in at least two primary areas: (1) the direct stimulation of hair growth in persons with hair loss, (2) the stimulation of hair transplants, and (3) increasing the subcutaneous fat content.
