Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the medical name for the commonest form of hair loss affecting both men and women. It affects around 50% of men and between 20% - 50 % of women by the age of 50.

AGA is caused by progressive, gradual shrinking of normal hair follicles that produce normal (terminal) hairs into miniturised hair follicles that produce fine (vellus) hairs. The terminal-to-vellus hair ratio, normally 2:1 gradually reduces until it is reversed.

Although AGA is considered by most doctors to be a cosmetic condition, it can have significant psychological and physical effects on those affected by it. Loss of hair allows increased ultraviolet light to reach the scalp. AGA has also been linked to prostrate and cardiac conditions in older men. Women are particularly prone to suffering the adverse psychological effects of hairloss, as a thick head of hair is a highly valued aspect of feminine beauty in almost every culture.

AGA occurs most commonly in Caucasian men, followed by Asian and African American men. AGA has it’s lowest incidence in Native American and Eskimo men.

Almost all men and women with AGA begin to loose their hair prior to the age of 40 and many will commence loosing their hair by the age of 30.

AGA is distinguished from all other types of Alopecia by it’s gradual onset.

Men present with gradual thinning in the temporal areas, producing a V shaped frontal hairline. As baldness progresses, a bald patch appears on the crown of the head, which increases in size as the frontal hairline recedes. Eventually the receeding frontal hairline and the bald patch meet up, leading to loss of hair on most of the top of the head, whilst the hair around the base of the head remains intact. This pattern of hair loss is classified by doctors as Norwood/Hamilton stages 1-7.

Women usually present with diffuse thinning of hair on the crown of the head. This pattern of hair loss is classified by doctors as Ludwig stages 1-3. V shaped temporal recession does occur in women but usually to a lesser degree than in men. In general, women maintain their frontal hairline.

AGA is inherited however, the exact mechanism of inheritance has not been determined. It is also likely that systemic or external factors play a role.

Hair Restoration Programme
Non surgical hair regrowth with Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller, Clearskincare CP Hair Tonic and Minoxidil.

How does it work?
The Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller (needle length 0.75mm, gauge 0.25mm) has 96 finest quality stainless steel needles mounted in the highest quality autoclavable medical grade plastic rollers and handle.  Used daily and cared for as directed your Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller will last for 12 months. The Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller has three separate actions on the scalp. The needles are designed to penetrate the stratum corneum, the hard outer surface of the epidermal layer of the scalp. Hundreds of tiny channels are created through the stratum corneum, which facilitate the passage and absorption of Minoxidil and Clearskincare CP Hair Tonic into the dermis to maximize it’s absorption by the hair follicles.

The Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller also stimulates blood flow to the hair follicles via direct scalp massage. The third action of the Hair Restoration Scalp Roller is to gently exfoliate excess skin cells which accumulate in the hair follicles, contributing to hair follicle malnutrition and ultimately hair follicle failure and permanent hair loss.

Our 96 needle Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller is twice the width of the 48 needle roller. Therefore, the amount of time you spend rolling is cut in half!

Does it hurt?
The needles of the Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller are long enough to assist in the penetration of Minoxidil and Clearskincare CP Hair Tonic, but will not damage the scalp in anyway. It is normal for the scalp to be a little sensitive when scalp rolling is first commenced, but most people report no problems after 1 week. Always use the Clearskincare’s Skin & Scalp Roller gently at first, increasing the pressure on the roller as you become accustomed to the sensation of scalp rolling.

Can the Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller be used for women and as well as men?
Definitely. Women can use the Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller with Clearskincare CP Hair Tonic or in conjunction with Minoxidil.

How long will my Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller last?
Used daily and cared for as directed your Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller will last for 12 months. The Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller is the only roller available worldwide that is designed to be reusable and to last for 12 months.

Are there any side effects?
Unlike many other hair loss treatments, which require oral supplements with unknown potential side effects, the Clearskincare Skin & Scalp Roller does exactly what it promises, by enhancing the penetration of Minoxidil and Clearskincare CP Hair Tonic and improving blood flow to the scalp and hair follicle.
