Nearly 50 percent of women going through menopause, typically in their 40s and beyond, will experience moderate to excessive hair loss, shedding, and thinning.
The primary factor behind hair loss during menopause is typically hormonal changes. Although, medical conditions should be ruled out.
The signs may be an increasing loss of hair when brushing or in the shower, general thinning, the hair line moving backwards, and dry or brittle hair. The parting may widen, and more scalp may show through the hair.
The hormonal changes
Estrogen is believed to stimulate hair growth, so when levels of the hormone decrease, it directly affects your strands. During perimenopause, the active phase (aka the anagen phase) of the hair-growth cycle is noticeably reduced, resulting in less growth and less renewal; you may notice thinning at the sides of the temples, or simply that your hair is not growing as fast or as long as it once did. Factor in the potential for additional shedding from stress or vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and hair loss can become all the more pronounced.
The lower estrogen levels associated with perimenopause can also lead to newfound scalp issues, including a decrease in sebum production that can leave strands feeling dry, brittle, and weak. This exacerbated dryness, too, can make hair more prone to breakage.
How can this be treated?
We use in clinic and at home treatments and one of these focuses on Calecim Professional Advanced Hair Program, which features PTT-6, a proprietary ingredient with a high concentration of stem-cell-derived actives that yield impressive results in treating hair loss of all kinds.
PTT-6-equipped Calecim Professional Advanced Hair Program contains more than 3,000 proteins, growth factors, cytokines (essential proteins), and exosomes (derived from stem cells) that signal cells to regenerate.
Calecim Professional’s own research showed that after six weeks of use:
there was a 15 percent increase in the number of follicles per square centimeter,
16 percent increase in thickness of existing strands and
14 percent increase in the number of individual hairs.
The home care kit means we can really work with our patients in clinic and at home to achieve great results for so many. The system also doesn’t use any hormonals, so it is safe and has zero reported side effects.
How is the Advanced Hair System different from other hair regrowth products?
The active ingredient used in Advanced Hair System is 100% naturally derived from Cord Lining Stem Cells. It is the mix of growth factors, proteins and cytokines naturally secreted by these stem cells. There are no chemicals used in its formulation. These stem cells are also ethically sourced with no harm or pain caused to any humans or animals.
Stem cell extracts are able to send cellular messages to hair follicle cells, initiating a cascade of positive responses such as increased cell production and inhibition of inflammatory cues that cause follicle cell death. Results have been consistent with visible improvement in 6 weeks. Some users may need to use the product for 12 weeks to optimize results.
Benefits:
Boosts hair density
Optimizes hair follicle function
Stimulates hair regrowth
Reduces hair shedding
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Can I use the Advanced Hair System without the derma stamp?
All our clinical observations have been conducted with the use of the derma stamp which allows the serum to activate the hair follicles. Without the use of the stamper, results may be compromised.
Are there any conditions that may inhibit the effectiveness of the treatment?
These are some conditions that affect hair growth and may impede results from the Advanced Hair System:
Vitamin deficiency
Pregnancy and birth
Lupus or discoid lupus
Rheumatologic conditions or autoimmune disease
Thyroid problems
History of breast, ovarian, cervical or uterine cancer
Other medical conditions
Under what conditions should I avoid using the Advanced Hair System?
Do not start on the Advanced Hair System if you are currently experiencing any of these symptoms on your scalp:
Burning or pain
Patches of rough, scaly skin or scarring
Pustules or crusting
Can I stop the Advanced Hair System at any point of the treatment program and continue after?
We advise using the Advanced Hair System for 6 continuous weeks to see the best results. Stopping the treatment program halfway will affect the results. Only embark on the program if you are sure you are able to adhere to the protocol for 6 weeks.
How fast can I expect results?
Most of our clinical studies have been done in 6 weeks with significant results. There have been continued growth for patients who have continued with the treatment. Some users may enjoy better results if they embark on two x 6 week treatment programs continuously (ie 12 week treatment program).
Please be aware that individual results do vary as well.
Can the Advanced Hair System cure hair loss?
There isn’t a cure for hair loss, but there are effective medications and hair restoration treatments. While these medications or procedures may slow hair loss or even reverse balding, beware of any company claiming to “cure” your hair loss, as there is no complete cure for hair loss.

Minoxidil is widely used among those suffering from hair thinning and we frequently get asked whether our product can be used with Minoxidil.
There is no harm is using Minoxidil while starting out on the Advanced Hair System, as long as you apply Minoxidil on the days you are not using our hair product.
