How Does Fleava Work?

Discover the Science Behind Fleava: Understanding Hair Loss and Regrowth

In order to understand how Fleava works to regrow your hair, it is first crucial to understand the basic science behind why hair loss and balding occurs.

The Hair Cycle: From Youthful Growth to Aging Effects

Every four to six years our hair goes through a new life cycle. When we're young (pre-teens & teens), the cellular matrices of our dermal papillae (hair roots) are strong and coursing with mRNA 33 and IGF-1 to give us those impressive locks. But as we age we produce less of these beneficial proteins and hormones which can slow down and/or impair healthy hair growth.

DHT's Impact: Early Shedding and Follicle Miniaturization

Elevated levels of DHT can cause early shedding (telogen effluvium) and subsequent inflammation which often leads to follicular miniaturization (very thin, delicate hair follicles). And so, with time, more hair comes out. If left untreated for too long, the stunted hair follicles eventually die and it's game over.

Our Serum Solution: Enhancing Blood Flow and Protein Promotion for Hair Growth

However here our serum comes into play. Since your hair follicles are closed up many ingredients in our serum such as serenoa serrulata fruit extract, ginseng root extract, GHK-CU, baicalensis root extract all play a huge role in opening those pores up and improving blood flow to them. But we don’t actually stop DHT because it is very key to your libido, we only mitigate its negative effects on your hair. And we don’t stop there like other brands, this is where most hair loss products have it wrong, they only do this and stop there. We fix the root cause, which is promoting actual proteins that are required for hair growth. GHK-Cu exhibits antioxidant properties and modulates signaling pathways involved in hair follicle development. Additionally, GHK-Cu does have various effects on cellular processes that influence the production or growth factors like IGF-1 which is a key protein for hair growth. Here are a few roles IGF-1 plays in hair growth:

  1. Stimulation of Hair Follicle Growth: IGF-1 is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of cells in the hair follicle. It stimulates the growth phase of the hair follicle cycle (anagen phase), promoting the growth of new hair. 
  2. Regulation of Hair Follicle Cycling: IGF-1 helps regulate the hair growth cycle by promoting the transition of hair follicles from the resting phase (telogen) to the active growth phase (anagen). This ensures that hair follicles continue to produce new hairs regularly.
  3. Maintenance of Hair Follicle Structure: IGF-1 supports the maintenance and integrity of the hair follicle structure. It helps to keep hair follicle cells healthy and functioning optimally, which is essential for continuous hair growth. 
  4. Promotion of Hair Follicle Survival: IGF-1 plays a role in preventing apoptosis (programmed cell death) of cells in the hair follicle. This ensures the survival of hair follicles and promotes a healthy environment for hair growth.
