xyion1..will forward your questions-"That said, did they say if each ampoule can be used more than once (ie, closed or recapped?). If I'm treating a small area, it could be possible to stretch this out for 2 or 3 months in which case the cost isn't too bad."
Jacob, I sent them an email also, they have a very good response time!
Here are my questions and their response:
Questions:
1. The STIMOXIDIL complex sounds awfully close to Minoxidil. Is STIMOXIDIL all natural? Can you provide an ingredients list?
2. Is this a permenant cure, with treatments lasting 1-12 months depending on baldness and then no additional is required for maintainance? Or is this a perpetual solution a la Rogaine or Propecia?
3. Can each ampoule be recapped, or does all of the solution need to be used once it is opened? I am thinning a very little bit along the hairline and don't need/want to cover my entire head with product. This may make the 15 ampoules last a bit longer.
Response
1- Stimoxidil complex is all natural - ingredients - Conjugated Linoleic acid (omgea fatty acid) (CLA)- Glutathione (amino acid peptide - biological - google glutathione), Sodium DNA (broken up DNA- biological), Kigelia africana fruit extract, Cinnamon extract, Sage and Ginko extract - as per the website. The Stimoxidil does sound similar to Minoxidil but it's an entirely different complex.
2- The recommendation is for 3 1-month cycles. However, with androgenetic alopecia, which is a genetically driven process, there is no permanent cure. So one will need to monitor for possible continual usage. Note, one should consider the shampoo with the ampoules, unless you have a good shampoo for the hair.
3- The ampoules has a cap and a dispenser. One can cap the unused portion for further use. This will allow you to stretch the usage of the ampoules.
Their customer service is very good. I might actually give this a go, especially since they are saying that you can see results in 3 months and then just go on maintainance if you're happy. For my progression towards NW2 it seems rather ideal to get back to NW1, or at least a "straighter" hairline.
Any word on exactly how long it'll last unused, refrigerated?
