Tricomin, a copper-peptide complex designed for topical application, was tested in 18 male patients with type V (according to J. Hamilton) of normal alopecia. Twice a day for 6 months, 2% and 10% gel were applied to the areas of baldness. In patients who used 10% gel with tricomin, more active hair growth was noted. The mechanism of action of the drug is not deciphered, there are no side effects. It has been suggested that copper stimulates the synthesis of extracellular matrix components, thereby contributing to the prolongation of the growth phase. As you know, the hair in the growth phase is in close contact with the components of the matrix, and during the rest phase, the extracellular metric is gradually disappearing. It is also known that one of the manifestations of chronic copper deficiency (Menckel's disease) is the thinning of the hair.

Trichostim (French pharmacological company "Pierre Fabre"). The drug contains an aqueous (zinc sulfate, vitamin complex, amino acid complex) and oily (extract of Sabal, tonic essential oils, vitamin complex) phase. Extract from palm fruits Sabal, by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase and blocking the receptors for dihydrotestosterone, prevents the androgen's action on androgen-dependent follicles. The drug also activates microcirculation in hair follicles, enriches the roots of hair with nutrients and vitamins, significantly reducing the number of hair falling out. Restoring already lost hair is estimated as not so significant.

Anastym (French laboratory "Ducray") - dermatological lotion. The preparation contains the main active phase (6% RTH 16 - a patented plant molecule in 40% alcohol solution) and an additional phase (sabal extract, the main extract of pine in the composition of a neutral excipient). The lotion stimulates the growth factors of the vessels, restoring and developing the vascular network around the hair follicles, affects the activity of androgenconverting hormones.

Anastymum is applied 3 times a week. 1 bottle is enough for 3 months of treatment. Shake the bottle before mixing to mix the phases. Distribute 10 doses of lotion (10 pump strokes) along the prophores, massage the skin until the composition is completely penetrated.

Mechanism of action: promotes the expansion of small blood vessels in the hair roots, stimulates blood circulation and normalizes the metabolism in the area of the hair follicles, provides hair restoration and effectively stimulates their growth.

Application: 2 times a day apply on bald patches of dry scalp to 5 ml of the drug, and then for 2-3 minutes massage these areas with your fingers, which facilitates the penetration of the drug inside the scalp.

Satura-rosta (OOO "Proniko", Russia). Biomass from seaweed; shows significant anti-androgenic activity, and also affects follicles, which are, in all probability, in a "rudimentary" state and do not have androgen receptors.

Dercos (French laboratory "Vichy") is a patented product in ampoules. Reduces the activity of fibroblasts, preventing the formation of connective tissue, squeezing the hair follicles.

Stimulus (LLC "Phytolone", SPb) is a topical lotion, in which the hair growth stimulant containing humic acids is enriched additionally with laminaria extract and copper coniferous natural complex. Laminaria extract contains amino acids (aspartic, glutamine, etc.), proteins (for example, cysteine), which nourish the roots of hair, strengthen hair, give them vitality.
