When is it too late to re-grow your hair?

If the type of hair loss is non-scarring then there is no reason why the program
cannot grow your hair back. Androgenetic Alopecia (Male and female pattern baldness)
is the most common form of non-scarring hair loss where the follicles are not dead
but they are more in the falling out (telogen) phase of the hair cycle rather than
the growing (anagen) phase.

This process is caused by the conversion of the male hormone, testosterone to
dehydrotestosterone (DHT). It is the DHT that affects the hair follicles by
miniaturization and over secretion of sebum that inevitably leads to inflammation
of hair follicles. Hair simply cannot survive in this environment and therefore it
falls out. Bioscor’s Hair Regrowth Program is designed to counteract the effects
of DHT on the hair follicles.

How much hair am I able to grow back naturally?

After following the program properly, obvious growth is apparent after 3 to 4 months.
Maximum potential growth is reached approximately after 12 to 18 months. The main
factors that affect hair regrowth are the following:

Age: The younger you are the more potential there is to grow more hair back.
Severity of hair loss: Early stage hair loss is the ideal time to start the program to get maximum results.
Compliance: Poor compliance with the program will generally lead to a poor outcome.

Are there any side-effects from the AO lotion?

The AO lotion is designed to return the scalp and hair to a healthy state and therefore
contain only nourishing ingredients. Just like fertilizer is used to grow and rejuvenate
plants, the same principle can be applied to the AO lotion to the hair follicles.
Occasionally, certain individuals have an allergy to the glycol in the lotion (an
ingredient used for its moisturising properties). This presents with symptoms such as an
itchy or irritated scalp. In these rare cases, Bioscor has a hypoallergenic range of AO
lotionswith no glycol content.

What will happen to my hair if I stop the program?

If the cause of hair loss is a reversible one (i.e. stress, iron deficiency), then once
adequate hair regrowth is attained and the cause is treated, cessation of the program
will not affect the new hair growth. However, in Androgenetic Alopecia (male/female
pattern baldness) which is a genetic problem, the program can only act as a treatment
and not a cure. Therefore ongoing maintenance is required to keep the newly grown hair.
If treatment is stopped, the new hair will slowly fall out after a period of approximately
4 to 5 months and the hair status will return to the way it was prior to starting the
program. Clients will not be worse than they originally were and that is why there is
nothing to lose by trying the program.
