FAQ

Hair Follicles, Growth & Limitations

Can the 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum stimulate new hair growth, or is it primarily about stabilizing existing hair?
Both. The serum stabilizes existing hair by activating follicles and extending the growth phase. Early lab results also show that miniaturized follicles can be reactivated and stimulated to grow again.
Is it generally possible to reactivate dormant hair follicles?
Yes. Lab results confirm it. Even when the scalp appears smooth and hairless, miniaturized follicles are often still present beneath the surface and can be reactivated to produce new hair.
How can you tell if a follicle is still responsive?
The outer appearance of the scalp is not a reliable indicator. Even without any visible hair, miniaturized follicles may still be present beneath the skin and can potentially be reactivated, leading to the formation of new hair strands.

Description

The 8T3 Essentials Hair Serum works on two levels. It stabilizes existing hair by activating follicles and extending the growth phase. At the same time, early lab results show that miniaturized follicles can also be reactivated and stimulated to grow again. 

A lot of people assume that a smooth, hairless scalp means the follicles are gone. That is not necessarily the case. Miniaturized follicles are follicles that have shrunk over time and are barely active, but beneath the surface they are often still present. 

The lab showed that these follicles can be reactivated. Even when no hair strand is visible, the biological basis for new growth may still be there.
