FR 16
16% Minoxidil + Finasteride treatment (CREAM)
FOLLICS® FR16 treats the entire scalp against hair loss--both the vertex and hairline. Unlike products that depend solely on Minoxidil, FR16 contains 16% Minoxidil USP, Finasteride USP, Adenosine, Procapil® blend, Azelaic Acid, and Copper Peptide GHK-Cu, plus a powerful range of auxiliary agents that boost effectiveness for optimal results.
DIRECTIONS:
Dispense 1mL (approximately 4cm) onto your fingers and massage onto the scalp twice daily, paying particular attention to areas affected by hair loss or thinning. Work into the scalp for 2-4 minutes, then wash your hands. Leave on your scalp for four or more hours. Using more than directed will not increase effectiveness. For best results, wash your hair with a high-quality shampoo. Consult your healthcare professional to establish the optimal treatment for your needs.
STORAGE:
Store at room temperature of 20ºC to 25ºC (68F to 77F). Keep the container closed after use.
CAUTION:
Products may slightly darken in appearance over time. Variation is normal and indicates no change in the efficacy or expected results.
Ingredient Technology
Minoxidil is an antihypertensive vasodilator medication and is used to treat hair loss. It is available as a generic medication and over the counter for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia, a form of hair loss, in men and women.
Finasteride works as a type II and type III 5α-reductase inhibitor; 5α-reductase, an enzyme, converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Adenosine supports the production of hair growth factor (FGF-7) by directly acting on dermal papilla cells.
Procapil® blend targets the main causes of alopecia: poor scalp microcirculation, follicle ageing and follicle atrophy caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Azelaic acid inhibits dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and prevents hair loss.
Procyanidin B2 promotes hair growth by antioxidation and protease inhibition.
Copper Peptide GHK-Cu is an antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory effects. GHK-Cu stimulates collagen and contributes to glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts (promotion of blood vessel growth).
