Hair loss and thinning affect up to four men out of five and every other woman in the course of their lives. This problem can occur for various reasons, but the most common is the so-called androgenic alopecia. This form of hair loss is genetically conditioned and affects both genders. Its incidence rises with increasing age.
Androgenic alopecia is connected with hormones referred to as androgens, which are hormones derived from testosterone. As a result of hereditary predisposition, these hormones start affecting the hair follicles, thus gradually reducing the hair life cycle. Due to the reduced life cycle, new hair tends to be weaker and thinner and eventually can stop developing completely. This process leads to visible hair thinning and baldness.
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that causes hair loss in men as well as women in small, precisely defined areas, which create islands of hair with normal skin without scars or marks of inflammation. The balding is most dominant on the scalp, but it also appears on the chin (men's beard) or other parts of the body (hair, eyelashes and eyebrows). People affected by areata alopecia have small hair follicles and suffer from dramatically slow hair growth. In 1 - 2 % of cases, this disease can extend over the entire scalp (alopecia totalis).
Hair loss and thinning treatment
The hair loss and thinning treatment has always been complicated, expensive and often very insensitive to the scalp. We are therefore introducing a new proprietary mini-invasive treatment whose effectiveness has been documented by clinical studies and which originated in collaboration with Italian universities.
What is TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION?
TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION is a brand new proprietary method, which revolutionizes the hair loss and thinning treatment. This method brings visible result after just four treatment sessions (or 6 and more in case of areata alopecia). Moreover, the entire procedure is non-invasive, without injections and completely painless.
Scalp treatment using the TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION machine is also very beneficial after hair transplantation surgery where a better result is achieved. The treatment is applied 3 months after the hair graft transplantation.
The TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION method is a unique combination of treatments consisting of a "Hair Factor" growth serum, which is applied to the scalp using the proprietary "Skin Patting System®". The combination of the Skin Patting system and application of the hair growth serum, which supports development of the hair follicles, provides the scalp with the needed nutrients and creates an ideal environment for hair growth restoration.
This method provably fights excessive hair loss without any unpleasant side effects, thus revolutionizing the hair loss product market.
What is the principle of TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION?
- Provision of growth factors that stimulate the growth of hair follicles.
- Controlled creation of painless micro-incisions on the scalp that results in increased blood perfusion and activation of collagen and elastin (fibroblasts) cells, which are responsible for a natural skin restoration process.
- Application of an acoustic shock wave, which improves blood microcirculation in the application area, thus effectively activating the cell metabolism needed for absorption of the active elements – the growth factors.
- The ionophoresis process is based on skin electrostimulation, which relaxes the pores and consequently promotes the growth factor absorption up to four times. The skin relaxation will also minimize pain of the treatment and prevent inflammation.
- The use of LED light photobiostimulating effect, which supports collagen and elastin production in the skin and improves the appearance of the treated area.
What are the time demands of the treatment and the frequency of individual treatments?
The procedure is not very time demanding. One TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION treatment lasts only 20 minutes. If you decide to use this method, you will have four treatments three to four weeks apart.
Preparation on the treatment day
On the treatment day, the client's hair must be washed, but not treated by hair cosmetics or chemical products (styling mousse, hairspray, gel, freshly applied hair dye, etc.). Longer hair should remain lose after washing, without a ponytail, braid or bun tied by rubber band or hairpin.
Immediately after application
Immediately after the treatment, the clients can feel increased scalp sensitivity, sometimes with a slight tingling sensation, which usually disappear within 24 hours. As a growth serum is applied during the treatment, the hair and the scalp are wet (there is a hair-dryer available so that the clients can dry their hair before leaving).
Who is the TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION treatment suitable for?
This revolutionary hair loss treatment method is suitable for all men and women suffering from excessive hair loss due to the androgens and for all people longing for thicker hair.
Photo before and after two treatments. Although the treatment results are visible after just two treatments, the clients should complete the recommended number of sessions – usually 4-6 in case of androgenic alopecia and 6 or more in case of alopecia areata.
Post-treatment regimen
On the treatment day and the following 7 days, completely avoid increased physical exertion to prevent sweating of the scalp. In the spring and summer months, avoid the sun and wearing unsuitable headwear that causes scalp sweating.
All the week after the treatment, do not irritate the scalp mechanically and do not use any chemical products (hair dye, perm, etc.). Any visit to a solarium, sauna or swimming pool is also out of the question.
You can wash your hair with a normal shampoo and conditioner without a problem one day after the treatment. Be very gentle when drying the hair and scalp with a towel.
Is the TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION an effective excessive hair loss treatment method?
Yes! The effectiveness of TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION has been confirmed by clinical studies in men and women suffering from androgenic alopecia. Up to 100 % of the survey participants mentioned improvement in the amount of hair and its thickness. This fact has also been confirmed by an objective method (trichoscopy), which showed visible proliferation of the hair follicles.
What are the benefits of TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION compared to hair transplantation?
Hair transplantation is a complex surgery requiring removing hair follicles from the back of the head that is not prone to balding. Then this hair is implanted into the required area. This surgery takes up to eight hours and requires local anaesthesia because the hair follicle removal and implantation is painful. The recovery period is relatively long and includes measures in the regimen such as temporary ban on the use of shampoo, avoiding hairsprays, gels and other chemical products.
The main benefit of the TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION is its minimal invasion. It means that the treatment is painless, therefore without local anaesthesia. Compared with hair transplantation, the recovery period is far shorter and free of special regimen measures. The price and the time demands are further benefits. Although the TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION is mini-invasive and based on hair growth support, it is not excessively expensive. The procedure takes 20 minutes, four times with three to four weeks apart, so you will save a lot of time.
Contraindications
The TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION must be avoided during pregnancy, during an ongoing oncological illness and in patients with a pacemaker or a metal implant in the head.
The treatment cannot be performed for clients with extended hair. Its connection might break and, moreover, in this procedure, the hair is excessively stressed and exhausted by the "glued" hair, which would significantly affect the result.
TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION – Price of the hair loss and thinning treatment
The price of the treatment depends on the number of applications and their frequency, which can vary individually. For the best result, we recommend a plan of 4 to 6 successive sessions in androgenic alopecia and 6 or more sessions in alopecia areata. For more informationsee the pricelist.
Frequently asked questions regarding the loss of hair:
What helps in fighting the loss of hair and how to support the growth?
There are several methods that can mitigate the hair loss:
- Healthy diet: Nutrition-rich food, namely vitamins and minerals such as biotin, iron, zinc and D vitamin can strengthen the hair follicles and support the hair growth.
- Avoiding excessive heat and chemicals: Frequent use of hairdryers and/or aggressive chemical hair-treatment products can damage the hair and lead to its loss in the long run.
- Stress minimization: Stress has a negative impact on the overall health of the hair. Stress relieving techniques can postpone the hair loss arrival.
- Specific treatment: There are several treatment methods dealing with hair loss. One of them is our new TRICOPAT™ SOLUTION method.
Why do I lose my hair?
- Genetic causes: The most common cause of the loss of hair is androgenic alopecia, which affects both genders. The loss of hair is caused by a congenital increased hair sensitivity to the androgens which weaken the hair follicles.
- Hormonal imbalance: Hormonal changes connected with pregnancy, menopause or various endocrine disorders can affect the hair growth.
- Stress: Severe stress can cause temporary hair loss referred to as telogenic effluvium.
- Unbalanced diet: Lack of certain nutrients such as biotin, iron, zinc and vitamins can affect the health of hair.
- Medicines: There are certain groups of medicines that are connected with hair loss, most frequently those used to treat cancer (chemotherapy). The hair loss is a temporary side effect of the treatment.
