Prior to menopause, while estrogen levels are high, the level of DHT (dihydrotestosterone) being produced in the skin and follicle region is kept low. When women enter menopause, their levels of estrogen decline with the result that testosterone becomes more bioactive and more of it is converted to DHT in hair follicles. This results in a shorter hair growth cycle, finer hair and eventually, general hair loss.

Variations in estrogen levels are also the reason why women’s hair gets fuller during pregnancy, while the estrogen levels are high, and then starts shedding a few weeks after the baby is born, when estrogen levels are reduced.

Bioscal® and Bioscalin® are used to remove obstacles to natural, healthy hair growth, to prepare and stimulate the scalp for new hair growth and to optimize the growth conditions for the new hair.
