Spectral. DNC-L®
combines all the latest science into one aggressive
hair-growth treatment.
More than
minoxidil alone. More than any single drug. Spectral.DNC-L —
today’s most advanced hair-growth treatment — combines all
the latest science into one convenient formula to perform
through multiple pathways.
A true
breakthrough, Spectral.DNC-L delivers the most aggressive,
most powerful, most effective topical treatment to retain
and regrow hair because it fuses a broad spectrum of
clinically proven compounds. This recipe is not like any
other product available over the counter or by prescription.
Spectral.DNC-L
deposits cutting-edge ingredients deep below the surface of
the scalp, where they can really perform, through
proprietary nanosome encapsulation. These tiny nanosomes —
micro-spheres of organic liposome 200 times smaller than
human skin cells — have a composition similar to skin.
Unlike common lotions, they burrow into the dermis to
release their precious cargo slowly over time, for maximum
effect.
In a cream
base for easy application without dripping, Spectral.DNC-L
starts with research-grade 5% minoxidil, the best-known
molecule proven by clinical trials to trigger hair growth.
Then it adds three natural 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors to
suppress the hormone dihydrotestosterone that triggers male
pattern baldness. It pioneers use of the amino acid arginine
to stimulate nitric oxide formation, mediate cell activity,
and feed hungry follicles.
An army of
auxiliary agents reinforce these ingredients. Natural
botanicals combat fungal colonization and reduce sebum.
Soothing retinol calms inflamed tissues. Aminexil SP94®
strengthens roots. Vitamins and minerals contribute to
nutrition. Capsicum stimulates.
This
coordinated attack against baldness means that Spectral.DNC-L
protects against damage, slows hair loss, improves follicle
health, and grows new hair longer, thicker, and faster than
any other product.
The bottom
line is: You get to keep the hair you have, regrow the hair
you lost, and live the life you really want.

Spectral. DNC-L
performs more dramatically than minoxidil alone because a
broad spectrum of active ingredients perform through
multiple pathways.
WHO
SHOULD USE IT:
All
treatments work better in the early stages of baldness,
since hair follicles atrophy over time. But Spectral.DNC-L
is indicated for men with advanced androgenic alopecia —
male pattern baldness of 4 or greater on the Norwood
scale — because it grows hair with several complementary
agents that perform through multiple pathways.
Clinically proven ingredients include minoxidil,
procyanidins, arginine, adenosine, three
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, and an army of compounds
to enhance their performance. The breakthrough formula
treats follicular dysfunction more aggressively,
powerfully, and effectively than any other product.
Patients
who do not respond to minoxidil alone do perceive
dramatic new hair growth after just three months of
using Spectral.DNC-L.
If your
hair loss results from genetic factors, then treatment
must continue to retain your new hair. Otherwise,
follicles would regress in two or three months. While
Spectral.DNC-L can control androgenic alopecia, as of
yet no formula cures it permanently. Once new hair is
achieved, patients can switch to Spectral.DNC® or
Spectral.RS® for maintenance.
HOW
TO USE IT:
Massage
Spectral.DNC-L into your scalp twice per day for three
months to witness amazing results.
Twice
each day — morning and night and after bathing —
dispense enough cream onto your fingertips to cover the
affected area completely. Massage it evenly into the
scalp, then wash your hands with soap. Allow
Spectral.DNC-L to dry completely before styling.
Treat
consistently for three months, without missing an
application, before attempting to evaluate results.
Continue treatment to retain your new hair.
For a
more intensive start, especially after years of balding,
add a mid-day treatment of Spectral.DNC®. This spray,
with a complementary formula, acts through additional
pathways for a broader attack on balding.

Among
numerous innovations, Spectral.DNC-L delivers extracts of
unparalleled purity with advanced nanosome encapsulation.
Through this proprietary technology, micro-spheres of
organic liposome — similar to a human skin cell in
composition, but 200 times smaller — deposit their compounds
deep within the scalp. While common creams and lotions just
sit on the surface, tiny nanosomes fuse with affected
tissues, dissolving gradually over 12 hours and targeting
their payloads for maximum performance.
We obtain
these precious ingredients naturally, through gentle
mechanical compression, not harsh chemical extraction. This
organic approach preserves molecular integrity and creates
an optimal product, although it does result in a lower
yield.
The opulent
formula also requires less alcohol, propylene glycol, and
other fillers, since it oozes with emollients chosen to
condition, soothe, and moisturize the scalp, not to inflame
it further.
Minoxidil.
Spectral.DNC-L starts with highly effective research-grade
5% minoxidil because, as the first drug approved by the US
Food and Drug Administration to treat androgenic alopecia
(male pattern baldness), it remains the best-known and most
widely used.
Before
Rogaine® in the 1990s, minoxidil was taken orally as a
vasodilator to treat
Arterial hypertension high blood pressure. Then
researchers discovered an interesting side effect: serious
hair growth. Since then, hundreds of trials involving
thousands of subjects have proven that minoxidil regrows
hair on the vertex of the scalp.
According to
pioneering research conducted by Pharmacia and Upjohn, 26
percent of men between 18 and 49 reported moderate to dense
re-growth of normal pigmented hair after four months of
treating with minoxidil. Another 33 percent had some
re-growth. Almost 20 percent of women between 18 and 45
reported moderate re-growth, while another 40 percent showed
some. Researchers did not count vellus hairs (peach fuzz).
Over a decade
of such experience means that Spectral.DNC-L users can
expect to hold off their encroaching bald spots and
repopulate the vertices of their scalps. So hair today is
hair tomorrow.
Arginine.
Spectral.DNC-L helps to strengthen and feed hair follicles
because it contains the amino acid arginine, a metabolic
precursor of nitric oxide, an important vasodilator and
mediator of cutaneous cell function.
Chemical
pathways for nitric oxide exist within each hair cell.
Increasing the volume of intracellular nitric oxide
increases the size and section of follicles.
But nitric
oxide is a poisonous gas, so Spectral.DNC-L does not contain
it. Instead, the pioneering formula supports the body’s own
natural synthesis of the molecule by incorporating the amino
acid arginine, a precursor to nitric oxide.
In one method
of action, nitric oxide increases blood flow to hungry hair
follicles by relaxing vessels and causing
Vasodilation dilation, helping hair to receive proper
nutrition. Through another method of action, it acts as an
important mediator in various cutaneous processes, such as
melanogenesis, wound healing, and hyperproliferative skin
diseases.
Exciting new
research focuses on the role of nitric oxide in hair
follicle cycling. A 2003 Berlin study demonstrated for the
first time that human papilla cells produced the substance.
Researchers believe it to be a signaling molecule in those
cells, and basal- and androgen-mediated nitric oxide
production to be involved in regulating hair follicle
activity.
Arginine also
plays a direct role in cell division, immune function,
creatine formation, and protein synthesis. It helps to
prevent wasting in people with critical illnesses. Symptoms
of deficiency include hair loss, skin rash, and poor wound
healing.
In
Spectral.DNC-L, the creative addition of arginine means
improved blood flow, nutrition, and overall regulation of
follicles, so they can grow hair fibers of greater diameter.
Phytosterol
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Spectral.DNC-L
deploys three potent compounds that inhibit the activity of
5-alpha-reductase because that enzyme converts testosterone
to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which damages hair follicles.
These phytosterol extracts are olive (standardized with
verbascoside), saw palmetto (serenoa repens), and flax seed
(standardized with secoisolariciresinol diglucoside).
Nanosomes deliver the 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors deep
within the scalp.
In patients
sensitive to DHT, closely associated with male pattern
baldness, the hormone seems to choke follicles by
interfering with the enzyme adenylate cyclase. This
disruption increases sebum production and decreases hair
growth. When hormonal concentrations become high, thick
terminal hairs whither to become thin vellus hairs (peach
fuzz).
Spectral.DNC-L
strongly inhibits the action of 5-alpha-reductase, thus
limiting DHT, sebum, and hair loss.
The best
inhibitor, olive extract standardized with its active
ingredient, verbascoside, blocks 5-alpha-reductase for
healthy sebum regulation. Ripe olives contain biophenols, a
class of molecule known for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory,
and antiviral properties. A major component of the
biophenols, verbascoside inhibits 5-alpha-reductase type-2
at a rate 3.5 times greater than the second compound,
serenoa repens.
Saw palmetto
berries (serenoa repens) contain lipids with a mix of fatty
acids, alcohols, and phytosterols (plant-based sterols). Saw
palmetto supports both prostate and hair health by
inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase and thus DHT. Its method of
action is so similar to the anti-alopecia drug finasteride (Propecia)
that saw palmetto now generates a wave of research on
preventing hair loss.
A third
5-alpha-reductase inhibitor, flax seed extract standardized
with secoisolariciresinol diglucoside, is a nonsteroidal
compound with activity similar to estrogen.
The inclusion
of these three natural 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors means
that Spectral.DNC-L works energetically to control damaging
DHT, so hair follicles remain healthy and productive.
Procyanidins.
Spectral.DNC-L contains procyanidins, flavanols derived
naturally from apples, because the latest research indicates
they restore the hairline nearly as effectively as minoxidil
restores the vertex.
Epithelial
cells of a hair follicle include the outer root sheath,
inner root sheath, and bulb matrix. The follicular dermal
papilla, however, is a mesenchymal cell, more like bone and
connective tissue. Hair growth relies on successful
interaction between these two cell types.
Procyanidin
oligomers (simple polymers) promote both epithelial and
mesenchymal cell health, which induces anagen-phase growth.
Such stimulation may be all that is required to overcome
some androgenetic alopecia.
These photos
compare telogen-stage hair re-growth after 19 days using
procyanidin B-2, minoxidil, or placebo. Hair on the backs of
mice was shaved and a topical solution applied daily. Figure
A shows normal re-growth with a placebo. Figure B shows
growth using 1% minoxidil. Figure C shows 1% procyanidin
B-2.
In vivo, the
effectiveness of minoxidil (fig. B) and procyanidin (fig. C)
are equivalent. After such promising results with mice,
Japanese laboratories conducted a human study. A
double-blind clinical trial investigated the effect of a 1%
procyanidin B2 solution over four months. Nineteen men
received procyanidin; 10 received a placebo.
In the
procyanidin group, a dramatic 79 percent showed greater hair
diameter, compared to 30 percent in the placebo group. The
treated group also showed a higher ratio of hairs over 40
micrometers in diameter and higher total number of hairs.
Researchers
concluded that procyanidin B-2 treatment shows promise as a
cure for male pattern baldness, and appears to carry no
adverse side effects.
This
promising research means that Spectral.DNC-L, which includes
both procyanidin B-2 and C-1 in concentrations greater than
the 1% tested, produces the most efficient hair growth. So
multiple methods of action work to restore the hairline.
Adenosine.
This nucleoside plays an important role in hair growth
because it works in biochemical processes like energy
transfer (adenosine triphosphate and adenosine diphosphate)
and signal transduction (cyclic adenosine monophosphate).
The potent
anti-inflammatory is under study for both hair growth and
wound healing. For foot wounds, treatment with adenosine has
drastically increased tissue repair and reconstruction in
animals.
For
androgenetic alopecia (male pattern baldness), adenosine
proved very promising in a recent investigation conducted in
Tokyo and Yokohama. On the theory that adenosine
up-regulates the expression of fibroblast growth factor 7
and vascular endothelial growth factor on cultured dermal
papilla cells, investigators assessed 101 volunteers in a
randomized double-blind trial, comparing an adenosine 0.75%
topical lotion against one with niacin amide 0.1%.
They applied
the lotions twice daily for six months, then evaluated scalp
coverage and the ratio of vellus hairs to thick hairs. For
increasing the ratio of thick hairs, as well as global
improvement, adenosine proved superior to niacin amide,
producing a higher ratio of thick hairs and lower ratio of
vellus hairs. Side effects were not found.
This emerging
science means that adenosine in Spectral.DNC-L may stimulate
hair growth without side effects, so users can restore both
hair and lifestyle.
Aminexil SP94®.
The patented molecule Aminexil SP94 makes Spectral.DNC-L
clearly superior to other hair-growth products because,
after minoxidil, Aminexil is the medication most clearly
proven to grow hair. In clinical trials, it preserves hair,
protects roots, and strengthens fibers. The treatment
emerged from 10 years of proprietary research by L’Oreal
Laboratories.
Hair loss
often results when roots become rigid, compress the blood
vessels that nourish them, and cause strands to fall out.
With androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness), the
problem starts at the hairline and vertex, then spreads.
Hairs get finer, with a shorter life span, until they
disappear altogether.
Aminexil, a
real innovation in the fight against baldness, prevents this
premature aging, which results technically from the
rigidification of collagen. Once captured by the roots,
Aminexil preserves the suppleness and elasticity of tissues
that surround them. This action helps to build new fibers
thicker, denser, and stronger.
In a trial with 120 men, hair
loss began to slow down after three weeks. Hair also became
softer to the touch. In a trial against placebo with 130
men, an additional eight percent of hair was maintained in
growth phase after six weeks of use.
These results mean that
Spectral.DNC-L, with Aminexil SP94, preserves the vital
functions of roots, so they can build stronger hair fibers.
Retinol.
Spectral.DNC-L incorporates retinol, a fat-soluble form of
vitamin A, because it improves the absorption and
effectiveness of minoxidil. Often prescribed together,
dermatological researchers have found that coupling retinol
with minoxidil yields better results than using either
alone.
To fight
aging, vitamin A derivatives get absorbed by the skin
directly, increasing turnover rate and building collagen for
more youthful appearance. The antioxidant vitamin maintains
epithelial cells (membranes) as a physical barrier
against infection, builds immune system cells, including
B-cells,
T-cells, and
natural killer cells, and affects production of
human growth hormone.
For hair
growth, retinol’s greatest effect is to control the proper
functioning of sebaceous glands, which produce sebum, a
complex mix of lipids that reduces water loss and protects
the skin from infection.
But sebum
also contains dihydrotestosterone (DHT), the androgenic
hormone most responsible for male pattern baldness.
Moderating sebaceous glands can lower DHT.
People ingest
retinol in a precursor form. Animal sources contain retinyl
esters.
Plant sources contain provitamin A carotenoids. The
best-known is beta-carotene.
Topically,
Spectral.DNC-L applies retinol directly to the site of
follicular challenge, so it enhances the performance of
minoxidil and other hair-growth agents to help prevent and
reverse hair loss.
Vitamin and
mineral complex. Spectral.DNC-L contains a
rich vitamin and mineral complex, especially biotin and
mineral salts, because these chemicals support the energy
transfer and metabolic functions of hair follicles.
A leading
theory of hair loss is that oily sebum, laden with the
hormone DHT, suffocates roots and causes hairs to fall out.
Physical and emotional stress exacerbates this loss by
disturbing hormonal balance and depleting essential vitamins
and minerals. The body responds by producing more hormones,
stimulating more sebum, causing more hairs to fall out.
The biotin in
Spectral.DNC-L, however, helps to break this damaging cycle
by improving the metabolism of sebum. Dermatologists often
prescribe this form of B vitamin — essential for hair, skin,
and nail growth — as a supplement for patients under
treatment for hair loss.
Biotin plays
a key role in nature’s hair manufacturing process. When
absorbed by the scalp, biotin penetrates the hair shaft,
making it expand and thicken the cuticle.
The vitamin
assists in production of fatty acids and metabolism of fats
and amino acids. It plays a critical role in the Krebs
cycle, a sequence of reactions through which oxidation of
acetic acid provides energy for storage in phosphate bonds,
such as in adenosine triphosphate.
The key role
of vitamins and minerals in cutaneous health means they
become key ingredients in Spectral.DNC-L as well, so hair
remains thick and strong.
Herbal
extracts. The pure extracts of ivy, hops,
and capsicum added to Spectral.DNC-L stimulate the
effectiveness of minoxidil, Aminexil, and other growth
agents because these compounds are known to speed
circulation and deliver nutrition to affected tissues.
Applied
topically, they penetrate the scalp near the roots, promote
blood circulation, scavenge free radicals, block DHT, and
oppose harmful bacteria.
The fruits of
capsicum plants go by the English names chili, bell, red,
and green pepper. In their native
Mexico, where people have cultivated chiles
since 3000 BC, varieties also include ancho, chipotle,
guajillo, habanero, jalapeńo, mulato, poblano,
and serrano. Most contain capsaicin (8-methyl-N-vanillyl-6-nonenamide),
a colorless, odorless,
hydrophobic, crystalline or waxy substance that burns
when it touches mucosa.
Mammals generally find this unpleasant, but capsaicin
plays an increasing role in Western medicine as a circulatory
stimulant and
pain reliever.
Hops, also
contained in Spectral.DNC-L, have well-established medicinal
uses and well-studied chemical properties. Two of their many
active ingredients are humulene, found in the essential
oils, and
lupuline, an
alkaloid extracted as a colorless
volatile
liquid. The dried female buds of hops contain
methylbutenol, a mild
sedative to the
central nervous system. Hop tea treats
insomnia and stress. Hops also contain
flavonoids, aromatic antioxidants known to convey health
benefits, and have been studied for anti-viral and
antimycobacterial properties.
These natural
herbal assistants mean that hair-growth agents contained in
Spectral.DNC-L can work more effectively, so weak hairs can
get stronger faster
