The key to non-surgical hair loss treatment is to restore hair growth cycle to normal.
Hair has growth cycle consisting of the growth phase(3-6 years), degeneration phase(1-3 weeks), and resting phase(3-6 months).
In the case of hair loss patients, hair growth phase is shortened and resting phase is extended, thereby increasing the number of hairs in the resting phase.

All cellular activities, including the cell growth and differentiation, are regulated by the action of cytokines such as growth factors produced in cells.
Hair loss also occurs when hair follicle cells are destroyed due to hair follicle destruction factor arising from hormone DHT(dihydrotestosterone) produced in dermal papilla cells.
Recent studies show that cytokines, effectively inhibiting the cytokines that promote hair follicle cell destruction, can regulate hair loss caused by DHT mechanisms and normalize hair growth without affecting systemic hormones.
Moreover, if various effective cytokines acting as hair follicle cell growth factors are added, essential signals are activated during cell proliferation and differentiation, thereby promoting cell proliferation, maintaining hair growth phase and inducing he hair regeneration.
