There are three ways to lengthen the hair growth cycle.

1. Maximize the health of the hair bulbs at the base of the follicle.  This is what the products in our Professional Hair Growth System are designed to do by cleaning out the follicles all the way to the bottom.  If this is all you want to do, go with our Level 1 kit.
2. If you are over 35-40, you have begun to experience age-related reduction in blood flow to the top of the scalp.  This will get progressively worse with age.  As blood flow is reduced, the duration of the hair growth cycle for each follicle is shortened in a gradient toward the center of the affected area.  This limits the duration fot he hair grow cycle thereby limiting the maximum length your hair will reach before naturally dropping out to make room for the next hair to grow.  Our Extra-Strength Scalp Activator was created to reverse this blood flow reduction which lengthens the hair growth cycle and actually speeds up your natural growth rate significantly.  Our Level 2 kit is the right choice for this option.
3. If options 1 and 2 work but after 1-2 years you don't see all the regrowth you want, you can add Minoxidil.  This is a twice-daily hormone that artificially forces the hair growth cycle to lengthen, but it doesn't address the scalp's health or the blood flow through the hair bulbs.  Once started, you must use it 2x daily without fail for the rest of your life or your scalp will reset to a natural condition after quitting Minoxidil.  This means that the hair growing because of the hormone will fall out leaving the rest growing a shortened cycle duration.  Our Level 3 kit includes all of the above options.

Whichever of the above options you choose should be continued daily as long as you want to keep the hair growth cycle, and therefore the maximum hair length, to be longer than your normal limit.  This will, of course, slowly regress with age but you can increase your treatment strength later if you need to.

How often do I have to use the treatment and when can I stop?

The people who get the best results are the ones who use the treatment every day.  While it will still work if you use it every other day or every third day, the less frequently you use it the longer it will take to see results.  The treatment will not regrow hair if you use it once a week and it will not regrow hair from the shelf.  It will also not grow hair if you use only the shampoo.  It takes a combination of all of the products to work.  This is not a magic pill.  It is a long-term treatment intended to grow your hair back and let you keep it your whole life.  Because the condition that caused your hair loss will reappear within 6-months to a year if you stop using the treatment, you should continue the treatment but not necessarily every day.  Once you reach a point where you are happy with your results, you can cut back to every other day or every third day (the Maintenance Level) and keep your hair but if you start thinning again it means you have cut back too far.  Use it more frequently to prevent sliding back into hair loss.

If I want to order one of the Loesch Hair Growth Systems will my order be automatically refilled in a month?

No!  We will NEVER trick you into any kind of automatic renewal program that charges your credit card and ships out products you don't specifically ask for.  We do have an "Automatic Renewal Program" but you have to ask for it.  You won't find it in any fine print anywhere...not on the signup form...not on the checkout page...nowhere!  In fact, the FTC has recently determined that those programs that require you to enroll and be automatically charged for a product without specific and separate authorization of each shipment are illegal and amount to unfair trade practices.   We've always thought it was unfair to do that to people so we have never run our business like that.


MYTH:  Bosley says that their treatment is "the only permanent hair loss solution."  That's FALSE.  What is the truth?

Hair transplantation is a viable option but must be repeated in 10 to 15 years because the transplanted follicles will eventually follow the pattern of the follicles surrounding them and stop growing hair.  The procedure can only be performed twice in your lifetime.  Everyone who has hair transplant therapy must also use Minoxidil 2x each day for the rest of their lives to get the longest life from the treatment.  If you have a hair transplant and end up going bald anyway, the scars from the treatment will be visible as horizontal lines in the back if your head where the strips of scalp were removed...3 if you have one procedure, 6 if you have repeated the procedure.

If I am using the Original System, can I switch to the Professional System?

The Professional System does replace all of the products in the Original System though there are some differences. The Professional System is strong...too strong for a rare few, it's much more convenient, and it's less confusing...fewer steps. We have no intention of discontinuing the Original System, so we are not forcing people to switch. If you try the Professional System and find it's not for you, you can switch back to the Original System without any disruption to your treatment program.


I found one of your ingredients on a website that says it's harsh. Why are you using it?

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Try to keep in mind that even water is harsh...it can kill you if improperly used. Some ingredients that we use have been used by other companies who aren't 1/2 as careful with their formulations as we are. Why is that? It's because they are not interested in having a product that is so mild and effective you can use it your whole life long. Instead, they want to create the next "big thing." As a result, they don't take the time to carefully balance the ingredients that are potentially-harsh so that they are not harsh in the final formulation. 

Remember that just because a website says something's harsh doesn't mean it is. That's just the scope of their own experience.

The system has been extensively reviewed by our resident Ph. D. in biomedical sciences, Dr. Loesch Jr.  Some of the ingredients can be toxic but only if you ingest them.  None of them are absorbed through the skin even though there are lots of Internet sites that say they are.  Those sites are merely someone's opinions presented as if they were fact with no science behind them, just belief.  We have thoroughly researched our products (the Vice-President was one of the testers) and we track our clients' progress over decades of use...even into their 80's, and 90's.  There has only been the occasional (about 1 in 10,000) report of genuine allergic reaction to our products which is normal with all personal care products.

If I use the Loesch® system and it works for me, can I stop using it and still keep my hair?

Frankly, no. Baldness is not a curable condition. The Loesch® Hair Growth System is a treatment that puts your scalp in a condition healthy enough to grow hair without prescriptions or surgery. If you grow your hair back using the Loesch® system and then stop, your scalp will eventually revert back to the condition that caused the hair loss in the first place.  You have a simple choice. Either keep it or lose it. And just so you know, the Loesch® system is good but it can't work from the shelf in your bathroom. You have to use it for it to work.


Which treatment kit is right for me?

If you are experiencing mild, gradual hair loss, then the Full Treatment will reduce your hair loss to a minimum so that your natural hair growth process can catch up. You can upgrade to the Enhanced Treatment or the Maximum Treatment later if you want more hair growth faster.

If you are experiencing early or mid-stage male pattern baldness, you would want to start with the Enhanced Treatment which would reduce your hair loss to a minimum while stimulating the scalp to grow more hair naturally. You can upgrade to the Maximum Treatment if you want more hair growth faster.

If you are experiencing rapid hair loss at a young age or hair loss from a health problem such as hypo- or hyperthyroidism, you should start with the Maximum Treatment to quickly reduce hair loss AND begin growing as much new hair as possible before too much is lost. If you still need more hair growth, the only other option (as of 2006) is Propecia, a prescription drug which causes a known birth defect if a pregnant woman comes in contact with a broken pill or residue from a bottle of pills at a specific point during the pregnancy.

If you are already bald, well there really isn't much that can be done. The Maximum Treatment has resurected hair on some of our customers, but not very often. Usually, the most that will grow is "peach fuzz" with any treatment of late-stage baldness. A cleanly-shaven head is a statement of confidence and strength, so don't be afraid to shave the "doughnut" off. It will grow back.


How will Loesch® Scalp Activator improve my results?

Loesch® Scalp Activator is a vasodilator that temporarily increases blood flow to the scalp in preparation for whatever you want to apply next. It takes about 5 minutes for Scalp Activator to work and the effect lasts 20-40 minutes. If you are using the Full Treatment, you would apply Loesch® L-55-A next. If you are on a program that includes Minoxidil, you would apply Scalp Activator before applying Minoxidil.


Will the Loesch® Hair Growth System work for women?

Absolutely! Women will benefit just as much as men from the Loesch® Hair Growth System. There are a couple issues to be aware of, though. First, many women do not wash their hair daily. The Loesch® system requires twice-daily use with one washing daily. Also, women should not use the maximum-strength Minoxidil because it can interfere with female hormone balance. Women should use the 2% Minoxidil instead.


If I color my hair, can I still use Loesch® products?

Yes. You should be aware that our system so agressively cleans the hair and the follicles that it also causes artificial hair colors to fade faster than normal. Many of our clients who reported this accellerated fading said that they simply colored their hair more frequently because they were so happy with the additional hair growth they did not want to stop using the Loesch® system.

Note that strong permanent hair color (level 3) can damage hair follicles if not used properly. Always protect the scalp from exposure to these chemical hair colors and be sure to wash them out thoroughly.

How is Loesch® different from Avacor™, Nioxin, or other systems?

The Loesch® system is a personal hygiene system with Scalp Activator and Minoxidil as optional upgrades. Loesch® Scalp Activator is similar to Avacor™ Physicians Topical Formulation in that they both stimulate the scalp and increase blood flow, but Loesch® Scalp Activator is far less irritating. The Avacor™ system does not include any FDA approved over-the-counter drugs that have been proven to grow hair. Loesch® Scalp Activator is intended to amplify the effectiveness of Minoxidil, a proven topical hormone that grows hair.

Avacor™ IS NOT FDA APPROVED! They have no products that have been approved by the FDA and the FDA has no jurisdiction over cosmetic products. Avacor™ Physicians Topical Formulation is a cometic product formulated by a physician, but it is not a drug proven to grow hair. The Loesch® Hair Growth System includes Minoxidil, an FDA-approved OTC drug with clinical trial data to back up its claims to grow hair.

Nioxin® does almost nothing to promote new hair growth.  It's nothing more than a shampoo and conditioner that smells nice.  Notice the packaging.  It says "for thinning hair."  It does not say anything anywhere about hair growth or regrowth.
