Procapil®, Capixyl™, and the Fight Against Hair Loss
Say goodbye to hair loss worries and hello to healthier, fuller hair with SATARA® OPTI shampoo & conditioner from SEVEN® haircare. We understand the struggle of hair thinning and hair loss, and that’s why we designed a cleansing set with a powerful blend of rich vitamins, reparative proteins, and amino acids clinically proven to fight follicle aging and protect against hair loss.
At the core of OPTI are two natural powerhouse ingredient complexes: Capixyl™ and Procapil®. These patented ingredients are composed of natural compounds that promote hair growth, thicken brittle and thinning hair, and increase hair retention. They achieve this by safeguarding and protecting hair follicles, which extends the anagen (growth) phase of the hair cycle while simultaneously minimizing the telogen (resting) phase. The result? An elongated hair growth period that helps hair flourish and produces thicker, fuller, and healthier looking strands.
The Hair Growth Cycle
The hair growth cycle consists of four distinct phases: anagen, catagen, telogen, and exogen. During the anagen phase, your hair follicles are in an active growth state, producing new hair cells that lengthen hair strands. This phase typically lasts between three to ten years, varying from person to person. Interestingly, each individual’s hair has a maximum length it can reach without assistance. With the remarkable OPTI set, you can extend the growth cycle, allowing your hair to flourish beyond that limit.
The catagen phase follows, a brief transitional period when the hair follicle undergoes a rest, preparing to shed the old hair. Then, the telogen phase takes center stage as your hair enters a resting period, during which the old hair is shed, and the follicles pause before reawakening for a fresh growth cycle. Finally, the exogen phase allows the new hair to emerge and continue the cycle starting back at the anagen phase.
What Causes Hair Loss?
One prominent factor contributing to hair loss is DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), a hormone that shortens the hair growth cycle, leading to the production of progressively thinner and finer hair strands. As the hair becomes thinner, it can no longer remain anchored in the follicle and begins to shed, resulting in hair thinning and loss in both men and women.
Other factors that can contribute to hair loss include:
- Poor Circulation: Limited blood flow to the scalp can compromise the delivery of nutrients to hair follicles, affecting hair health and growth.
- Age: the natural hair growth cycle may slow down during aging, resulting in thinner hair
- Genetics: a family history of hair thinning and hair loss
Capixyl™: A Gentle Amino Acid Complex for Promoting Hair Growth
Discover Capixyl™, a cutting-edge patented ingredient with proven scientific efficacy in reducing hair loss and stimulating hair growth. Capixyl™ offers a natural and reliable solution for achieving thicker, fuller hair.
It targets the root causes of hair loss by addressing three major factors:
- Clinically proven to increase the density of hair follicles in the anagen phase by 46%*
- Prevents hair thinning and miniaturization by blocking DHT and promoting thicker hair bulbs
- Stimulates collagen production leading to improved anchoring of hair follicles to the scalp and reducing the risk of hair shedding
*Based on a 4-month clinical study on 30 participants conducted by an independent laboratory.
Procapil®: Nature’s Answer To Hair Loss
Meet Procapil®, a plant-based compound that has garnered recent attention for its ability to reduce hair loss and promote hair growth. In fact, it’s clinically proven to reduce hair loss by 58%.* Its proprietary blend of ingredients targets the main culprits of hair loss, including poor scalp circulation, follicle aging, and the damaging effects of DHT.
Procapil’s hair-restoring magic works in three core areas:
- Stimulating blood flow to the hair follicles, invigorating hair growth and preventing hair loss
- Countering the effects of follicle aging, improving the strength and resilience of hair
- Blocking the enzyme responsible for producing DHT, a potent hormone responsible for hair loss in men and women
*Based on a 4-month clinical study on 35 participants conducted by an independent laboratory.
