• One of the most comprehensive program available integrating all the latest advances in hair loss treatment.
• The clinic uses the herb "Serenoa Repens" as part of the oral treatment for hair loss. "Serenoa Repens" is the technical term for the herb "Saw Palmetto Berries", a dietary supplement that can be found in any health food stores in North America. Most people take "Saw Palmetto Berries" for prostate problems. It has been speculated that "Saw Palmetto Berries" has similar effects as the drug Proscar, which is an FDA approved medication for the treatment of prostate enlargement. Recent clinical studies have shown that people who have been using the drug Proscar have shown a noticeable increase in hair growth or a slow down in hair loss. Since Proscar is available only with your doctor's prescription, many people turn to Saw Palmetto Berries instead.
• You do not have to go to Hair & Skin Center to obtain "Serenoa Repens". You can find the herb in any health food stores marketed under the name "Saw Palmetto".
• While there have been numerous clinical studies showing that electrical stimulation of the scalp can slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth, consumers should note that the machine used by Hair & Skin Center is NOT the same device used in most clinical studies. Most clinical studies about using electrical stimulation to treat hair loss are based on the ETG treatment - short form for ElectroTrichoGenesis. ETG is probably the most extensively studied and researched electrical hair loss treatment. Its success have been widely published and documented. Since the electrical stimulation provided by Hair & Skin Center uses a different device with different electrical parameters and delivery mechanisms from the ETG treatment, it is unclear what kind of results patients can expect to get from Hair & Skin Center.
