Question:
Hi,
I am 6 weeks into using Revivogen, so it is a bit early to tell its effectiveness as yet. Prior to that I was taking low dose propecia for approximately 3 months but stopped in October of last year due to side effects. From December to mid march I have experienced a significant shed. I understand the hair growth cycle quite well, having done some research, though I would like to know if a healthy terminal hair is shed, is it always replaced with another terminal hair?
Thanks & regards.
Hi Jamie,
Yes the terminal hair will be replaced with more terminal hair. And just to go over the cycle of hair growth even though you are clearly informed.
The hair follicle goes through cycles of growth, rest, and shedding. Once the hair follicle has reached the end of its growth cycle it enters the resting phase were the hair production is stopped and the hair is detached from the bulb. At this point the hair will fall within a few months regardless and this happens when the hair follicle tries to grow a new hair. Depending on how many hairs you have in the resting phase you will experience a shed sometimes not even noticeable when the hair follicles are stimulated to grow again. You do have to remember that it is normal to shed 100-150 hairs a day with or without a hair loss problem. The other hair follicles which are still in the growth phase will continue growing, as they will be protected by the formula. So the shedding only involves the hairs that were already going to fall within the next three months and these hairs will grow back. Also, Revivogen speeds up the growth cycle so it will cycle through the stages faster creating more growth.
