At Pro Hair Biosystems we are aware that ProFusion shampoo is only one product in the fight against hair loss and there are a number others.  Far from promoting ProFusion in isolation we recommend our customers to use ProFusion in combination with other hair loss products such as minoxidil and finasteride. However tablets and topical applications are not the only weapon against hair loss as a couple of years ago, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration of America) approved a lazer comb device for use against hair loss.  This is quite interesting since a number of hair loss centres and trichologists had been using lazer therapy to stimulate hair loss for a while, but these were only used in a… read more

In a number of previous blog entries and also extensively in the forums, it has been reported that a cocktail of hair loss products often works better than one single hair loss product, therefore attacking the chemical and physiological causes of hair loss from a number of angles. For example, ProFusion Shampoo and Conditioner can be used with Propecia (Finasteride) and Regaine (Minoxidil). How does Finasteride Work? This involves a lot of biological terms but we have tried to explain these where possible. Finasteride inhibits an enzyme in your body called Type II 5α-reductase. This enzyme converts testosterone into Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Two distinct isoenzymes (or isozymes) are found in humans: Type I and II. Isozymes have a slightly different chemical… read more

Spironolactone was originally marketed by Searle as a Aldactone as a potassium sparing diuretic, that is it makes you pass more urine but doesn’t deplete your body of potassium. Diuretics are used to control blood pressure among other uses. The use of Spironolactone as a hair loss treatment is a fairly new phenomenum. It has a powerful antiandrogenic effect, in simple terms it works to reduce the male hormone testosterone by decreasing production and also blocking the effect of androgens at a cellular level. Spironolactone is a competitive inhibitor of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) receptor binding. The drug competes with testosterone for the androgen receptors on each cell so less testosterone can bind to it. It has also been suggested that the… read more
