ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TELOSTATIN
- Who
should not use Telostatin?
Telostatin should not be used by people less than 18 years of age. People
with nutritional deficiencies or medical conditions that require the
use of medications that cause hair loss may not benefit from the use
of Telostatin. Persons with damaged hair from hair care products or
harsh grooming practices may not benefit from the use of Telostatin.
- Will Telostatin
work for me?
Each person using Telostatin will experience a different amount of hair
regrowth and decreased hair loss. To ensure that Telostatin has the
opportunity to work, make sure that Telostatin is massaged into the
scalp with each application. People with little hair loss and those
that are beginning to experience hair loss will likely have a better
response to Telostatin than people with long-standing hair loss.
- How soon can
I expect results from using Telostatin?
Results with Telostatin are threefold - longer hair growth phase, hair
regrowth and hair retention. Some people may notice a substantial decrease
in hair loss with minimal hair regrowth, and vice versa. Others may
notice substantial hair regrowth and decreased hair loss. There is no
way to predict who will experience which effect. It is important to
remember that hair grows only ½ to 1 inch per month, so noticeable hair
regrowth will occur slowly. When using Telostatin as directed, most
people will first notice a decrease in hair loss and some visible hair
regrowth within three months. For other people, visible changes in hair
regrowth may take up to six months.
- Can I use Telostatin
to prevent hair loss?
Yes. Studies
with Telostatin have revealed a noticeable decrease in hair loss with
continuous use. Since the loss of between 50 to 100 hairs per day is
normal, and more is typical of thinning hair, Telostatin should reduce
hair loss numbers to within 50 to 100 hairs per day with continuous
use as directed. It is unlikely that Telostatin will stop all hair loss.
- I read that
estrogen can increase hairloss. How does Telostatin combat that?
Rather than suppress
hormonal factors that cause hairloss, Telostatin prolongs the anagenic
(or growth) phase and retards the catagenic (rest) phase. By doing so,
the hormonal factors don't get the chance to come into play and cause
hair to fall out.
- If Telostatin
is stimulating hair regrowth, what will the new hair look like?
New hair growth will first be soft, thin and downy-like. With continued
use of Telostatin, this new hair should resemble the rest of the hair
on your scalp. Existing hair on the scalp that has been thinning will
gradually become thicker.
- What will I
first notice when I start to use Telostatin?
You will first notice a decrease in hair loss as Telostatin re-regulates
the hair cycle. You may wish to monitor this progress by trapping hair
as it sheds in the shower and counting the shed hair on a daily basis.
- How long do
I have to use Telostatin?
If you notice hair regrowth or decreased hair loss, you will have to
use Telostatin continuously in order to maintain your new hair growth.
- What happens
if I completely stop using Telostatin? Will I keep the new hair?
You will need to use Telostatin continuously in order to keep your new
hair growth and optimize hair retention. If you stop using Telostatin,
new hair will begin to fall out in 3 to 4 months as the hair cycle is
completed.
- When do I use
Telostatin?
Use Telostatin once daily. Apply it two to four hours before going to
bed. This will allow Telostatin to dry on the scalp.
- How long will
one bottle of Telostatin last?
Telostatin
is supplied in an 8 ounce bottle. Each bottle should last 90 days when
used as directed. What if I miss a dose or forget to use Telostatin?
If you miss a dose of Telostatin, simply resume your regular nightly
application.
- Can I use Telostatin
more than once daily? Will it work faster, better?
There is no benefit to using Telostatin more than once daily. It will
not work faster or better.
- Can I apply
Telostatin and wash my hair an hour later?
No. For Telostatin to work its best, you should allow four hours for
the product to dry on the scalp.
- What kind of
shampoo should I use with Telostatin?
You may use any kind of shampoo with Telostatin.
- Can I use hair
sprays, mousses, conditioners, gels, etc.?
Yes.
- Can I have my
hair colored or permed or use hair relaxers while using Telostatin?
You may color or perm your hair while using Telostatin. However, you
should be aware that Telostatin will not prevent hair loss caused by
hair or scalp damage that may occur with these processes. You should
not use hair relaxers while using Telostatin. The residual chemicals
left behind from the relaxing process will denature the active ingredients
in Telostatin.
- Can Telostatin
produce unwanted hair growth?
Unwanted hair growth on the face and body has not been reported in men.
Studies with women are pending. If you notice unwanted hair growth,
you may decrease the amount of Telostatin that you apply to the scalp
or the frequency of product application. You should also take care to
wash your hands after application.
- Will Telostatin
grow hair on all parts of my scalp?
Telostatin has been shown to be most effective at the crown of the head,
just the same as with Propecia and Rogaine. However, there is evidence
that Telostatin is also effective in the mid-scalp region, but hair
should be expected regrow there at a slower rate than at the crown.
A mid-scalp study is pending.
- Can I use Telostatin
for baldness or hair loss in babies or children?
No. The causes of baldness and hair loss in babies and children are
different from the causes of hair loss in men and women of 18 years
or more.
- Can I use Telostatin
in combination with other hair rejuvenation products?
Yes. You may use Telostatin in combination with Propecia.
- What are the
most common side effects?
Some people experience itching of the scalp when they use Telostatin.
