Signs and symptoms which require immediate medical assistance include; hair which falls out in clumps, patchy hair loss, development of male characteristics in females, and redness, flaking, and scarring of the scalp where hair loss has taken place.
 

I think I'm beginning to lose my hair, what can I do?

Top hair experts recommend consulting with a physician if you believe you are, or are at a greater risk for, losing hair. Treating hair loss at its onset gives you a better chance of saving existing hair. Hair loss commonly begins after puberty, but can peak at different times depending on the individual. It is estimated that by the age of fifty, 50% of men will have noticeably thinning hair hair and some form of male pattern baldness. Again, the extent of affliction varies from person to person. Certain tests can be performed to measure the ratios of male hormones (i.e. androgens) and 5-alpha-reductase. There is a much higher level of these agents in persons with an advanced potential for developing hair loss. In addition to existing medical treatments, nutritional supplementation, like Advecia, has also proven very helpful in a large number of at-risk individuals. 
 

I've always heard that my mother's father or grandfather is to blame for my hair loss. Is this true?

NO. This is a common myth. It started in 1916 as a result of a published paper by Dorothy Osborne, stating that pattern baldness was inherited by one side of the family, namely your mother's side. This myth is ongoing because it has been propagated in dermatologic literature for many years. 

So who ultimately contributed to your hair loss? The contribution for your disorder was most likely defined by both of your parents. However, the genetic aspect of hair loss is much more complicated. Science remains unclear regarding the exact mode of inheritance. A number of models have been proposed, but none has yet to be established as an infallible answer. 
 

Do certain shampoos, hair styles, and other hair products cause hair loss?

An allergic reaction, constant pulling of hair for a particular hair style, or adverse reaction to hair products, have all been documented as influential causes for hair loss. In fact, your physician may ask what hairstyling techniques and products you are using as part of a normal hair loss assessment. Caustic hair dyes, straighteners, and other chemically-rich products can cause inflammation of the scalp, which many times result in either the breaking of hair strands or hair loss.
 

Is hair loss in women different from men?

Women tend to lose hair at a much slower rate, but like men, their hair loss also has an inherited basis too. As well, are unlikely to have large bald spots. Women's frontal hairline sticks around as hair loss progresses. The thinning of women's hair, unlike men, also tends to be distributed evenly throughout the scalp. In addition, women are also able to disguise hair loss because of hair length and the styles in which they wear their hair.
 

If I decide to order Advecia, are Progressive Health's products sent discreetly?

Yes; Progressive Health respects your privacy. All orders will be shipped in a plain, unmarked envelope with a return address from UNICO Enterprises.
 

How soon can I expect to see results?

The results derived from Advecia are dependant on both the individual and severity of condition. Hair grows slowly, approximately 1 inch every two months. While a large number of customers yield results in only a few short weeks, we advise that you use Advecia, continuously, for a minimum of 60 - 90 days. 
 

Are there any side effects when taking Advecia?

As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all possible conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than hair loss), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs.
