It is a fact of any hair re-growth product, whether topical or oral, that it's application must be ongoing to maintain results.
Both Minoxidil and Nanogaine work by releasing the Nobel Prize-winning Nitric Oxide molecule (NO), which acts as a chemical messenger to the hair follicles. In fact, that is what the NO stands for in Minoxidil and Nanogen. Minoxidil is unfortunately only soluble in alcohol solutions and consequently causes incredibly dry and flaky scalp over long-term use. Furthermore, this drying effect damages the hair follicle.
Nanogaine represents a breakthrough in hair re-growth technology as its formulation is water soluble and thus can be used for years without any reported adverse effects. With Nanogaine, you get all the benefits of Nitric Oxide, without the downsides of an alcohol-based product.
- How long will a pack of Nanogaine last?
Each pack of Nanogaine is designed to last 1 month of application.
- How do I apply Nanogaine, and at what times are optimal?
Full details on how to apply are printed on the carton.
- When should I expect to see results?
The time taken to see result varies between individual and for some, little results are achieved.
It would be the same for users of Minoxidil. Some people respond excellently and others do not respond at all. However in all cases, users would be advised to allow at least 3 months of application in order to assess results.
- Do I need to use Nanogaine forever?
Yes. Every clinically proven hair loss treatment without exception MUST be used indefinitely. For most people this is not as daunting as it first sounds – especially with Nanogaine.
First off, Nanogaine is water-based, so unlike Minoxidil, it does not dry the hair and scalp even with long-term use. Secondly, not being a tablet whose effects are systemic, it does not have side effects.
Besides a lot of people just want to extend the ‘life’ of their hair for a further 10 years or just slow down the loss, so you don’t have to use it forever, just if you want to maintain result you will do.
Applying Nanogaine takes less time that putting in your contact lenses, just 5 minutes or less.
- Are there any side effects from using Nanogaine?
This is the greatest feature of Nanogaine. Unlike Minoxidil, which must be dissolved in ethanol (alcohol), the Nanogaine actives are water-soluble. This was our breakthrough. This means that you can get all the benefit from 'topical NO supplementation' without drying the hair. It is a very important factor when one remembers that Minoxidil must be used for the rest of your life, or hair re-grown/stopped from falling out, will then fall out. Nanogaine is a long-term choice for people who want to have hair and have it healthy looking/feeling too.
- Can you use Nanogaine alongside Minoxidil?
Yes you can. Naturally, there will be some drying because of the alcohol in the minoxidil solution. Some people use Nanogaine day and night and use Minoxidil once a day also. You may like to use an oily hair gel or cream such a "brylcream" to avoid the worst 'straw-hair' from long-term minoxidil use.
- What if I use the night ampoule in the day (or vice-versa) what are the effects?
No adverse affects at all. It is just that at night, your scalp will produce more sebum and the night formula is designed to slow sebum production and hence the optimum conditions will be obtained by using the ampoules in the correct order.
- What is shedding?
When hair growth is stimulated, a large amount of follicles move into the Anagen phase from the Telogen phase simultaneously, which has the obvious consequence of hairloss during the initial phase of treatment (shedding). Do not be concerned. Although it may sound counter-intuitive, more than usual hairloss is usually an indication the formula is working according to the published studies. The new hair that replaces that just lost will be thicker, stronger and with more colour.
