Trichologists Olga Lisitsina, Anna Portkova, Alena Panova and Tamara Berichikidze told what products will help stimulate follicles, restore hair length and accelerate growth.
The drug "Follicel"
Patients often come to me with hair loss of varying severity. Most often, women suffer from this problem after pregnancy and during breastfeeding. Stress and prolonged illness are also common causes of hair loss. For home therapy I prescribe Follitsel. This is a drug with a mesotherapeutic effect, intended for external use. It contains: cytokines, polyunsaturated fatty acids, amino acids and vitamins, peptides. Follicell “extends the life” of follicle cells and initiates division processes, preventing hair loss and creating the basis for the growth of new ones. This drug is indicated for absolutely everyone, regardless of the cause of hair loss - even during pregnancy and lactation it can be used. Exceptions: individual intolerance to components, inflammatory processes of the scalp, violation of the integrity of the skin in the application area. The drug is used daily along the parting lines. It works great in combination with mesotherapy, plasma therapy, and ozone therapy. The period of use is at least 4 months.
Coffee tonic to stimulate hair growth Caffeine Hair Tonic, O’ Right
Fighting hair loss and stimulating hair growth is not a matter of just one month. This may take six months of regular complex therapy, which is selected individually. There are many different types of baldness. Most often we are talking about a temporary process - the follicles do not hibernate, do not die, but continue to function after hair loss. This process is quite easy to stop using external means. Caffeine Hair Tonic supplies the roots with nutrients and stimulates metabolic processes. Hair begins to grow faster, and hair loss stops over time. The product consists of 95% organic substances. The ingredients include caffeine, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and vasodilating properties. I used this toner myself. A year later, the condition of the hair became significantly better. 8 shampoos that fight hair loss, see here.
Hair growth product Dercos Neogenic, Vichy
Dercos Neogenic is 30 ampoules: one for every day. Treatment takes 4-6 months, which means you will need 6 packs. But it's worth it. The product has been repeatedly tested by trichologists and proven to be effective. The composition contains a patented molecule called stemoxidine, which acts on “dormant” hair follicles. The set includes a massage applicator that can be used to apply the product to dry or damp hair.
Follicle activator Scalp To Hair Follicle Energiser
Another natural remedy that shows good results with regular use. The serum contains nicotinic acid and aminexil, which strengthen hair and stimulate growth. Niacin (nicotinic acid) is a “panacea” in the fight against hair loss caused by external rather than internal factors. Scalp To Hair Follicle Energiser promotes blood flow to the scalp, awakens follicles and prolongs their life. life cycle. There is another interesting ingredient in the composition - coenzyme Q10, which stimulates the production of keratin and adds shine. The activator is applied twice a day: morning and evening. The product shows good results for local hair loss.
Active lotion to stimulate hair growth Time to Grow
Many beauty bloggers sing laudatory odes to this product, and deservedly so. It was developed with the participation of the ANO International Scientific and Practical Center “Trichology”. The product stops hair loss, stimulates growth, increases protein synthesis, and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is used both separately and in complex treatment, for a course of three months.
The drug is made on the basis of sphingolipids - structural components of cell membranes and nuclei. These are natural immunomodulators that regulate cell growth and development. Time to Grow is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of hair loss. Read about why hair doesn't grow here.
Stimulating lotion Opium Lotion, DSD “Opium” is a line of products with a high content of placental extract. This is one of the best hair growth stimulants. Among the ingredients are nicotinic acid and caffeine, which have a stimulating effect, dwarf palm extract - an indispensable component for androgenetic alopecia, poppy extract, from which the line got its name. The company’s specialists have been selecting ingredients in the required concentration for several years. The lotion is sold in convenient ampoules (10 pcs per package). One is enough for about two uses. The product is designed for 30 days. If necessary, the course can be continued.
Scalp peeling mousse Full Force, Ollin
If you make it a rule to use scalp peeling once a week, you will see the first results within a month: hair growth will accelerate.
Everyone who has tried Ollin peeling mousse says that the skin seems to start breathing after it. It eliminates excess sebum, styling residues and heavy metals that conventional shampoos do not fully cope with. If you use peeling before the mask, the effect will be enhanced - the beneficial ingredients will be better absorbed. The mousse has a neutral pH - does not irritate the scalp. Main active ingredients: aloe extract, climbazole and provitamin B5. There are no chemical irritants, sulfates, parabens - the peeling is completely natural.
Hair lamination Hair Company
It is impossible to grow hair if you ignore length care. Split ends, like the arrow on tights, occupy more and more area, destroying the core. Lamination avoids fragility by filling the empty space between the scales. The Hair Company set consists of three bottles: hot, cold phase and mask. Under the influence of the first, the hair cuticle opens, and the second - the voids are filled with keratin. Fruit acids add shine, mirastats soften. The final stage of the procedure is a restorative mask. It is ideal for bleached and severely damaged hair. The mask with a light cream texture smoothes and creates an invisible film that protects against aggressive environmental influences.
Mask No. 4.3 Divination Simone DeLuxe Keratin Treatment Mask, Dixidox De Luxe
This is a dual action product that simultaneously stimulates hair growth and improves its structure. Due to the high concentration of keratin and lecithin, it restores damaged strands. Contains: yeast extract, cayenne pepper, caffeine, phosphoric acid and many other useful ingredients. The mask can be left overnight, applied over the entire length - you will get the effect of keratin restoration.
Serum No. 4.5 Keratin Treatment Serum, Dixidox De Luxe
I couldn’t help but mention this product, which works like a mask. Due to the high concentration of green tea extract, the lotion stimulates the activity of hair papilla cells. Soy isoflavones (moisturizing phytoestrogens) and a vitamin-mineral complex prolong the hair growth phase. “Volatile” silicones (harmless and effective components) make hair shiny, soft and voluminous, without accumulating in the structure. Keratin quickly restores damaged hair. Adenosine contained in nanosomes stimulates DNA synthesis and moisturizes strands.
If there is inflammation on the scalp, serum will also work! It relieves itching, has an anti-inflammatory effect, and works as an antioxidant.
Apply a small amount of product to dry or damp hair and comb it. Do not wash off the serum.
When it comes to severe hair loss or stunted hair growth, various methods are used to combat the problem. Many people resort to home remedies or salon treatments. And there are those who prefer to fight the weakened state of their hair with the help of ready-made products. These include a hair growth stimulator, created specifically to activate hair follicles. But how effective is such a remedy and is it safe to use?
What are they?
Any product for stimulating hair growth is created in order to improve blood flow to the hair follicles, nourish them with the necessary vitamins and microelements, and awaken “sleeping” follicles. Available in the form of masks, serums, sprays, balms, tonics, oils and shampoos. Ready-made products, as a rule, are designed to solve both problems: slow growth of curls and unwanted hair loss. If they are used correctly and regularly, the strands will become thicker, and the signs of alopecia will gradually disappear.
Minoxidil as the main component
The main component of many hair growth stimulants is minoxidil. - a synthetic substance that dilates blood vessels and increases DNA synthesis. Inside the follicle, it does not act directly, but is converted into the more active drug minoxidil sulfate. It has an intense effect on hair growth.
Experts say that Minoxidil should be used twice a day. Moreover, its effectiveness has an accumulating effect: the greater the dose of the drug in the body, the better the effect.
But it is worth considering that high concentrations threaten frequent side effects. To protect yourself from unwanted consequences, any hair growth stimulator on the head should be used following the instructions.
In addition to minoxidil, the stimulants contain vitamins: A, E, B. Warming components (hot pepper, castor oil and others) are often added.
Advice. When choosing products that stimulate scalp hair growth, give preference to better proven brands that have been present on the hair care market for many years.
It is also worth considering that there are many natural-based hair growth activators, the effect of which does not occur as quickly as when using minoxidil, but they have fewer contraindications.
When to use
- with the threat of baldness;
- in case of hormonal imbalances, as a result of which hair began to fall out intensively;
- when the strands become sparse and thin due to stress factors;
- with a deficiency of vitamins and minerals in the body. Hair vitamins can also correct this problem.
Contraindications
If we are talking about drugs containing minoxidil, then they should not be used when:
- under 18 years of age;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- infection, injuries to the scalp;
- allergies to the drug;
- with other means of similar action.
You should treat such drugs with caution if:
- the presence of any disease or recent infection;
- heart diseases.
In such cases, the advisability of using an activator should be discussed with a doctor.
Advice. As for tolerability, as a rule, preparations with minoxidil are well tolerated. But if side effects appear, you should stop using them further.
If we are talking about stimulants of natural origin, then contraindications include individual intolerance or allergy to any of the components.

Remedy for scalp hair growth:
Trichologist about DIMEXIDE for hair:
Hair is a sensitive “signaler” of internal disorders of the body. Lack of vitamins and minerals, poor metabolism and taking medications affects their condition, growth rate and density. Often against this background, dandruff appears, increased oiliness or dryness, the ends become split and brittle. Dietary supplements and tablets for hair growth will help replenish the missing nutritional components, thereby strengthening and healing your curls.
Operating principle
To strengthen curls, give them silkiness and shine, and also accelerate growth, sometimes cosmetic products (shampoos, sprays, balms) alone are not enough. It happens that when you stop using a hair growth activator, the achieved effect immediately fades away. In this case, it is necessary to solve the problem from the inside.
Vitamin deficiency is the main culprit of slow growth, fragility and dullness of curls. It is especially acute in the winter-spring period. It will not be possible to normalize the situation with food alone; it is necessary to take tablets (vitamins) and dietary supplements (dietary supplements).
Dietary supplements and tablets for rapid hair growth are a balanced complex of minerals, vitamins and nutritional components that are important for the stable functioning of hair follicles, scalp and the whole body. The composition of such preparations necessarily includes vitamins A, C, E, B, calcium, copper, zinc, sulfur, silicon, iron, selenium.
The principle of action of the tablets is quite simple and understandable: Once inside the body, they begin to stimulate the functioning of internal organs and systems, normalize metabolic processes, increase blood circulation and promote the elimination of toxins. Such an effect affects not only the condition of the hair, but also the skin and nails.
Which ones to choose
Modern pharmaceuticals offer women and men a wide range of nutritional supplements, vitamin and mineral complexes that can improve the quality of the skin, strengthen the legs and eliminate a number of hair problems. Which dietary supplements for hair growth and density are ideal for you will only be answered by a first-class specialist after a series of clinical tests and a detailed examination of the condition of your hair. This is the only way to be sure of the effectiveness of the upcoming therapy.
Important point! If there is no specific, serious problem with the hair (excessive dandruff, itching, severe hair loss), vitamin and mineral preparations with a general strengthening effect will help strengthen the hair, improve its condition and accelerate growth.
For those who are in no hurry to see a doctor, there is basic recommendations, parting words for choosing appropriate drugs:
- Carefully study the composition of the medicine. The more nutritional components and fewer synthetic additives, the better.
- Please note that the composition must contain beauty vitamins (A, E, C, B). For clients suffering from hair loss, the presence of vitamin D in the preparation is important. The situation is similar with mineral supplements: zinc, silicon, copper, sulfur, iron, selenium, calcium are mandatory components, but the presence of magnesium, phosphorus, iodine, chromium will only benefit .
- Decide what effect you want to achieve first: strengthen your curls, stop their loss, accelerate growth or eliminate dryness.
- The presence of at least one component to which you have an allergic reaction is unacceptable. This drug cannot be used.
- Please note the contraindications and expiration date of the drug. These are the most important criteria when choosing any medicine.
- Don't focus only on price. Often, some companies unjustifiably inflate the cost due to brand awareness and good advertising.
- Study user reviews; it’s even better to trust the experience of loved ones and acquaintances.
- You should not take a large package at once; the product may not be suitable or will not give visible results.
- Purchase products exclusively from pharmacies and pharmacy kiosks. Failure to comply with the rules for storing the drug affects its effectiveness and can worsen health and the condition of the hair.
- Pay attention to the integrity of the packaging, the presence of instructions for use, and quality certificates. Endorsements from international dermatology experts are welcome.
