Minoxidil and the Géomer approach: two very different approaches to support your hair
Two different approaches: Géomer's natural approach and Minoxidil, a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Talk to your doctor about it.
What is Minoxidil?
- Minoxidil is a vasodilator that was originally used exclusively as an oral medication. to treat high blood pressure. It was found to have, among other things, the development of hair growth as a side effect.
- In the 1980s, UpJohn Corporation then produced a topical solution containing 2% of Minoxidil for use as a hair loss treatment under the trade name Regaine. Without really knowing how this product made hair grow back ...
What is its mode of action?
- Minoxidil is a blood vasodilator. Which means he dilates the blood vessels to pass more blood through them.
- This molecule lowers blood pressure and has contraindications: only your doctor can assess whether it is suitable for you.
- This molecule is prescribed by dermatologists. It acts on the blood supply to the hair follicles, whereas the Géomer approach looks at the hormonal origin of so-called hormonal hair loss, that is, hormones.
- This is because hormonal hair loss is caused by the hormone called testosterone (see explanatory video on this subject >>). This hormone generates the secretion of an enzyme called 5 Alpha reductase which has the particularity of accelerating the life of the hair and causing it to fall prematurely.
- It is therefore understood that these two approaches act at different levels: one on the blood supply to the hair follicle, the other on the action of 5 Alpha reductase.
- So-called deficiency hair loss is due to mineral deficiencies in the blood. Bringing more blood to the hair follicles is another way of approaching this lack. Only your doctor can say whether a medicine is suitable for you, in particular depending on your blood pressure.
Precautions for using Minoxidil
- Like any medicine, Minoxidil can have side effects and contraindications. Refer to the leaflet and ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice; never change or stop a prescribed treatment without their advice.
So what is the Géomer approach?
Thanks to anti-hair loss treatments of natural origin! Yes, we explain to you:
Our care to support hair loss and hair regrowth >>
- In the Géomer approach, for hormonal-type hair loss, the first aim is to help regulate the negative action of 5 Alpha reductase.
- This action can be supported with the Phytogel Bio H where the Bio H Serum whose active ingredients of natural origin (essential oils of sage and petit grain, sabal serulata) help regulate the negative action of 5 Alpha reductase on the life of the hair. Not to be used by pregnant or breastfeeding women.
- It is then necessary to activate the blood microcirculation correctly at the level of the scalp.
- For this, a microscopic lymphatic drainage helps to properly nourish the hair follicle. watch the video >>
- Specifically designed for this, the Terral Géomer helps deeply drain the scalp and supports blood circulation at the hair follicle. The choice of the color of Terral is made according to the needs of your scalp.
- The simultaneous action of these two products as well as organic silicon helps slow hair loss and stimulate hair regrowth.
