Keratin Blocked by Pollution Triggers Hair Loss

Male pattern baldness, which develops progressively starting with the appearance of a bald spot in the crown and thinning of the temples, is known to be hereditary.  Environmental predisposition to hair loss can also be found closer to home. A team of researchers at the University of London has linked the onset of male pattern baldness to environmental factors like air pollution and smoking.

Scientists examined the hair follicles of men suffering from alopecia. The follicles were then studied in labs. Researchers found that oxidative stress was interrupting normal hair growth. They concluded that hair loss is worsened by both air pollution and the effects of smoking. According to the study, the toxins and carcinogens in contaminated air can interfere with the protein producing processes within the body which stimulate hair growth. 

Environmental toxins may play a larger role in hair loss than previously thought. Sure there is an inherited basis to balding, but little do we know that environmental factors take a toll on hair health as well. Toxins and carcinogens in air pollution can block the production of keratin, the protein which forms hair. Any pollutant that can get into the bloodstream or into the skin and into the hair follicle could cause some stress to it and impair the ability of the hair to make a fiber. There are a whole host of carcinogens and toxins in the environment that could trigger this. If you live in an area with less air pollution you may be less predisposed to hair loss.

Good news is that such effects of pollution may be avoided in the near future by topical creams. Environmental factors can be controlled. There will be further research and tests to identify additional details about how environmental factors affect hair growth and baldness. Also, the researchers will look for ways to grow hair in different types of environments.

The Leimo Hair Clinic in a Box is exactly how it sounds. It is a bundle that contains a home-based solution similar to what hair clinics and salons offer but slash the physical and economic hassles.

More exactly, the Leimo HCB is a synergistic collection of organic-based topical essentials including the Leimo Bio Cleansing Shampoo, Leimo Thickening Conditioner, Leimo Scalp & Body Scrub, Leimo Scalp Therapy Day Treatment, Leimo Scalp Serum Night Treatment; and a high-end medical device called the Personal Hair Laser - all of which are sufficiently packed together in a bundle to make you all set for the next twelve months.

This Leimo hair loss solution will target the main cause of the problem and restore the hair safely, effectively, and naturally. It is clinically proven safe and effective for use against mild to moderate cases of androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness in men and women.

Leimo's topical hair care essentials are formulated with powerful essences of organic ingredients such as Saw Palmetto, Grape seed, Nettle, and Rosemary to remove/reduce levels of Dihydrotestosterone, or better known as DHT, in the scalp. DHT is the main culprit behind androgenetic alopecia, or pattern baldness in men and women. DHT will deprive the follicles of adequate nutrition, thus shrinking the follicles which, in turn, will result in hair loss.

Aside from hair loss, the hair quality will also deteriorate as a result of the malnutrition of the follicles. Through their powerful organic formulation, these hair care essentials will also restore the thickness, fullness, and health of the hair.

The Leimo Personal Hair Laser component is designed to regenerate hair at a cellular level through the process called photobiostimulation. The laser comb device employs the principles of Low Level Laser Therapy and Light Emitting Diode Therapy - which will improve the blood circulation to the scalp and especially revitalise hair follicles that have remained dormant due to DHT build-up. Completing the device's overall strength, the stimulating bar made of urethane rubber will provide an acupuncture effect and massages the blood vessels, hence assisting in improving the scalp circulation as well.
