The Calosol anti-hairloss products are designed
by Alopecians for Alopecians

We have formulated our anti-hair loss products to help Alopecia Areata sufferers with their hair loss. The Calosol anti-hairloss products are designed by Alopecians for Alopecians.

As an AA sufferer my self, I went through the emotions of hair loss since the age of 7. Over twenty years we have been researching the various forms of Alopecia and the aetiologies involved. Although the disease itself is non-life threatening, the cosmetic and psychological impact on both patients and parents is tremendous and may lead to a high lifetime prevalence rate of major depression and anxiety disorder.

Sometime after birth, we (alopecians) may be exposed to an insult. This insult may be a virus.

The end result is that the immune system attacks the areas surrounding the hair follicle in a case of mistaken identity (autoimmunity). The resultant inflammatory reaction affects the hair follicle and for the hair follicle's survival must move away hence migrates to a safe area. It then, simply switches it's self off and rests waiting for the right conditions suitable for the follicle to switch on and return back.

This is where the Calosol product is at it's best, encouraging the return voyage and the switch on to take place. Hair follicles are extremely robust and capable of taking a lot of punishment. In AA, despite the disruption by immune cells the hair follicles are capable of regeneration given the right conditions, even after many years of immune cell insult.

Who can use "Calosol 4H Hair Tonic Spray"? Here are a few examples:

Diffuse Hair Loss in Women: It has been estimated that at least 50% of scalp hairs have to be lost before a diffuse alopecia becomes visible. The Doctor may find it difficult to appreciate diffuse alopecia in a patient complaining of excessive hair loss. Daily hairloss may be evident to you - more than usual clues like loose hairs seen on your pillow, comb or after shower- but not to others and this simply adds to one’s frustration. The course of diffuse alopecia is variable and difficult to appreciate; the sufferer’s complaint is that hair is being lost all over the scalp.

Telogen Effluvium: “TE” is characterized by a general thinning or shedding of hair over a period of months and is most commonly found in people who have recently experienced trauma. Common causes include childbirth, major surgery, severe illness, psychological stress and chemotherapy. Calosol 4H Spray stimulates follicles encouraging the production of better hair fibber quality hence avoids the “decreasing growth rate” that results prior to baldness.

Androgenetic Alopecia: 95% of normal adult men and 75% of women have some androgenetic hair loss. Women usually have the diffuse variant of androgenetic loss whereas men may have diffuse, patterned or both. All men and women produce male hormones such as testosterone and DHT.

DHT is mostly responsible for the hairloss. “It is accepted that a genetic predisposition for hair loss occurs mostly in men and less in women; the follicles in predisposed regions continue to produce hair of decreasing growth rate until static resulting in eventual baldness”.

"Remember Calosol 4H Spray Hair Tonic helps to stimulate and revitalise hair cell production in dormant hair follicles. Regular daily application will help to maintain a healthy scalp, reduce hair loss and promote natural hair growth."

Trichotillomania & Traction Alopecia: (hair pulling). Trichotillomania is one of the types of traumatic alopecia and is defined as the irresistible urge to pull out the hair, accompanied by a sense of relief after the hair has been plucked. It is a habit that usually appears in children and less in grown ups. It may remain undiagnosed for a long time. Hairs may be broken and are of different lengths. Trichotillomania leads to trichomalacia. Trichomalacia is the damage inflicted on the underlying anagen hair root by repeated attempts at plucking.

Using the Calosol Spray the urge to pull out the hair becomes less and less because…

Calosol 4H Spray Hair Tonic helps to stimulate and revitalise hair cell production in dormant hair follicles.  Regular daily application will help to maintain a healthy scalp, reduce hair loss and promote natural hair growth.


PROPHYLACTIC USE - MAINTENANCE - WHY WAIT?

Another good reason for using the Calosol 4H Spray: Use the Calosol 4H Spray when you feel that personal circumstances may have increased the risk of an AA (alopecia areata) relapse, possible triggers like "stress", cold/flu, "viral infection" etc., or perhaps signs of excessive hairloss when washing your hair.

About: Calosol 4HG Gel

For Children and sensitive scalps

Although the main part of the Calosol range is the original Calosol 4H solution, the Calosol 4H Gel has been designed to help children and for adults with sensitive scalps. The 4H Gel contains the same selective group of active ingredients which are formulated as the regular Calosol 4H and for more gentle effect, we have added "Aloe vera gel".


About: Calosol Alo-Active Shampoo

This Shampoo has been designed to help children and adults with sensitive scalps. The Calosol Alo-Active Shampoo contains the same selective group of active ingredients, which are included in the original Calosol Shampoo and for more gentle effect, we have added "Aloe vera gel".


About: Recovery Ointment

Best used on body areas affected with hairloss i.e. Eyebrows, beard and moustache areas.

DO NOT USE ON or NEAR THE EYELASHES AREAS

The Ointment has been designed especially for areas of hairloss other than the scalp; the beard and moustache areas and the eyebrows. The Ointment has been designed to make applying Calosol to these areas easier and more effective.

The ointment is more potent than the other Calosol Products. Apply only a thin layer. Although the beard and moustache areas can tolerate a stronger version, you need to apply only a small amount each time.


Would Calosol 4H Solution Work for me?

Hair follicles are extremely robust and capable of taking a lot of punishment without being destroyed. In Alopecia Areata, the hair follicles are capable of regeneration if given the right conditions, even after many years of immune cell insult.

In non-scarring alopecia, the hair follicles are preserved or resting, they are not destroyed.

The current users of Calosol Products that have experienced true satisfactory results have indicated that they complied fully with the regimen.

WE WANT YOU TO GET YOUR HAIR BACK BUT WE NEED YOUR COMMITMENT AND PATIENCE

Most of the users experienced some sign of positive effects, such as less hair falling out, within 60 days. Others needed more time. The duration of the treatment may be determined by the age and severity of the condition.

In AA, many of the scalp hairs may have already been affected prior to using Calosol; and would simply fall off any time soon after the hair follicle has made the decision to move away and abandon the hair fibber. Thus, hair loss and NEW AA patches may be seen even 30-60 days (4-8 weeks) while applying your Calosol products.

Satisfactory results have been noted by the Calosol users as early as within 4 weeks and as late as 10 months (severe cases). Remember, "When Calosol starts being effective, a new hair cycle starts and the thin newly synthesised hair shaft merges at the scalp surface. The vellus hairs eventually grow into terminal-type pigmented hair shaft".

Results

Hair loss sufferers all over the world have used the Calosol 4H product for many years; this is what are the results we are achieving so far:

AA: 100%.... hair regrowth in mild to severe AA with 90-95% success rate.
AT: 100% hair regrowth of users with a 60-70%.success rate, with the remaining 30-40% of which there are a few cases with 70% or more hair regrowth.
AU: 35-60 %... of users with mixed results. The success rate is increasing with the help of NEW products.

Some of the not so good results are influenced to some extend HOW BEST the Alopecian complied with the daily applications regime. I know that we can improve still more, but first we need to improve the vehicle that carries the active extracts (work is in progress). We need more products that are specific to the type of Alopecia and the etiology involved

In non-scarring alopecia, the hair follicles are preserved or resting. Among the non-scarring types of alopecia that produce localized hair loss are alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), tinea capitis/scalp ringworm, trichotillomania, including trauma and hair styles that require pulling and traction.

Some users of Calosol may want to share their experience and their regrowth with their Doctors, and/or Dermatologists, but get disappointed when they are told "there is no treatment for AA" and they refuse to see or acknowledge your regrowth or bluntly call it a spontaneous regrowth.

There are more and more Alopecians that are willing to support the Calosol products. I hope the case studies shown in the Website will help.

For the last 50 years, Alopecians all over the world have been getting a raw deal from the Pharmas, the Academics and the MDs. It is time for a change and it is long overdue. Alopecians want their hair back, they do not care if it is a spontaneous regrowth or not. The Academics like Academics do, research, talk, debate, argue for or against all the time.

THAT IS HOW THEY MAKE THEIR LIVING. But,
WE, ALOPECIANS, WANT OUR HAIR BACK, NOW!!!

We'll be back with more case studies, MORE CHOICE and MORE Calosol products to help the Alopecians, as soon as possible.
