The Follon® Tincture is a pioneering, alternative approach to the topical treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA). Several herbal substances, known for their action against AGA and their beneficial properties for healthy hair growth, have been combined in Follon® Tincture creating an active topical formulation with excellent absorption by hair follicles and clinically proven effectiveness.
Specifically, research conducted at the University Clinic of Dermatology at Andreas Sygros Hospital and published in the medical journal Greek Review of Dermatology & Sexual Medicine, demonstrated that the administration of Follon® products in individuals with Androgenetic Alopecia was highly effective, both in the suspension of the progression of alopecia and in its improvement. Notably, the results observed in postmenopausal women, in whom per os administration of pharmaceutical formulations has extremely limited effectiveness, were also significant.
Among the other ingredients of Follon® Tincture, the following stand out for their contribution to the treatment of AGA:
Extract of Saw Palmetto (Serenoa Repens)
A plant traditionally used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) but also the most popular herb for treating AGA, as BPH and AGA share the same pathophysiology. Clinical studies have demonstrated the usefulness of Saw Palmetto against AGA, specifically, it appears that its anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, stimulating, and anti-androgenic properties make Saw Palmetto effective in its treatment.
Extract of Tussilago Farfara (Coltsfoot)
An herb with anti-inflammatory properties, effective in reducing micro-inflammations of the hair follicle.
Extract of Malva Sylvestris (Wild Mallow)
An herb with strong antiseptic, emollient, and soothing action useful in the prevention of local infections.
Retinol or Vitamin A
With antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and stimulating properties.
Biotin (B8)
Vitamin with an important contribution to the formation of keratin, a substance absolutely necessary for the normal growth of hair.
Zinc
An ingredient with antibacterial and antiseptic properties, reduces excessive sebum production and protects the scalp from pathogenic microorganisms.
Product tested under dermatological control.
Paraben-Free.
For better results, it should be used in combination with Follon Caps and Shampoo.
