By some estimates, 50% of all women in the United States
will suffer from some form of hair loss by the age of
50. Similar to men, in more than 90% of cases, the cause
of hair loss in women is due to androgenic alopecia, or
female pattern baldness.
What is Female Hair Loss?
Female hair loss is a genetic condition inherited from
either parent. The genetically affected hair follicles
in women experiencing female hair loss are susceptible
to a byproduct of testosterone called dihydrotestosterone,
or DHT,
which causes the hair follicle to shed the normal hair
and produce thinner, shorter, colorless hair. This peach-fuzz
hair makes the scalp look thinner, and over time, the
miniaturized hair follicles atrophy and die, causing permanent
hair loss known as balding. There is no peach-fuzz hair
in balding areas, and the scalp looks tight and shiny.
Baldness is an irreversible condition. Once the hair follicle
has atrophied, it is gone forever. This would be similar
to losing any other body part, and since we are not able
to reproduce our body parts, there are no female hair
loss products or remedies that can force the body
to produce a new hair follicle.

Causes of Female Pattern Hair Loss
Women, just like men, inherit the gene for thinning hair
from either parent. In women, testosterone is produced
in the adrenal glands and the ovaries. Although testosterone
gets converted to DHT in a woman’s body, it cannot
cause female hair loss due to the protective effects of
estrogen and progesterone. These hormones reduce DHT production
and block DHT’s attachment to the hair follicle
as long as they are present in adequate amounts. Any condition
that can cause a decreased production of estrogen and
progesterone or overproduction of DHT can cause thinning
hair in genetically predisposed women. In women, hair
loss can start at any age after puberty, but in most cases
it occurs with menopause. The normal production of female
hormones drops significantly during menopause, lowering
a woman’s natural protection against thinning hair.
Hair loss in pre-menopausal women indicates an abnormal
hormonal imbalance that requires medical investigation
and appropriate treatment.
In post-menopausal women, hormone replacement therapy
restores the normal hormonal levels and stops the process.
In cases where hormonal replacement therapy is not recommended,
the only other available medical option is Rogaine 2%.
Although Rogaine activates the follicle’s growth
phase, it has no effect on the DHT production that eventually
leads to hair-follicle atrophy.
Revivogen: The solution for female
hair loss
Revivogen offers a natural alternative for women suffering
from thinning hair. Revivogen is made with natural ingredients
that have been clinically proven to reduce DHT production,
prevent DHT from entering the hair follicles and prompt
the hair follicles to enter the growth phase. Revivogen
is safe and effective treatment for female and male hair
loss with no side effects.
Revivogen contains fatty acids, GLA, ALA, linoleic acid,
and oleic acid as topical DHIT inhibitors. These natural
ingredients have been scientifically proven in multiple
studies to block type I and type II forms of the 5-alpha-reductase
enzyme by up to 90% when applied topically. These results
are similar to those seen with Dutastride, with the advantage
of no negative side effects.
Other anti-DHT ingredients in Revivogen are saw palmetto
extract zinc and azelaic acid. Click
