Hair Supplements Newport Beach

The follicular unit is an organ composed of groups of 1-4 hairs, and oil glands, nerves, blood vessels, and muscles, wrapped in collagen.

— Dr. Mark Anton, Newport Beach Plastic Surgeon

The follicular unit contains layers of specialized cells that support hair growth. There is a bulge that contains a nest of stem cells for hair regeneration. And, there are skin cells. Preserving the follicular unit ensures maximum survival and growth of the hair.

The hair continuously cycles through a growth phase, a degeneration phase, and a resting phase. And, just like our skin, hair follicles age. The promotion of hair follicle growth is strongly influenced by hormones, growth factors, and proteins.

During menopause hormone status changes and many women experience hair loss. Many foods contain precursors to hormone synthesis and also exert a direct impact on the structure, growth, and maintenance of hair and skin. Poor nutrition is a major factor in hair loss.
