“Can the hair that have fallen be grown back?”

Thanks for your question.

Yes. Hair sheds on a daily basis and this is natural. Noticeable ‘hair loss’ occurs when new hairs fail to replace the shed ones. Therefore our main objectives are:

• to make sure shed hairs are replaced by new ones and
• to prolong the length of the hairs natural growth phase.

By doing so you effectively stop hair loss.

Can you regrow lost hair?

Yes it is possible to grow your hair back after experiencing a period of noticeable hair loss. In order to do this you have to re-activate dormant hair follicles. However if the scalp becomes bald for a long period it may be the case that the hair follicles have completely died and are no-longer present. In such cases it is not possible to re-activate dormant hair follicles, as there are no-longer hair follicles present. Therefore it is important to re-activate the dormant hair follicles as soon as possible; before they die.

I have been receding for at least 20 years. I would say I’ve lost at least 40% of my hair. Is it still possible to reactive hair follicles after all that time? Do hair follicles eventually die or do they just go into a dormant state? Does age play apart in the recovery of hair follicles?

Thanks for your question.
