What to expect from cosmetics "Selencin" for hair loss?

Studying the composition of the medical and cosmetic products of the Selencin series, you involuntarily become interested in what effect can be expected from the use of this multi-component product, in which almost every component is of great value for hair.

Caffeine, pepper extract, saw palmetto, burdock, nettle and mint are the products used for hair loss in folk medicine, the effects of which are agreed upon even by dermatologists and trichologists. Keratin, biotin and collagen are substances that have long established themselves in cosmetology as professional hair care products. [ 1 ], [ 2 ] All of these components in various combinations can be found in hair care cosmetics of various brands. However, not all products with such content have a more or less pronounced therapeutic effect. [ 3 ]

The manufacturer of the Selencin hair series, the Alkom company, focuses on unique ingredients: anageline, seveov, innovative peptide complexes. Thus, anageline, even in minimal concentration, stimulates the cellular metabolism of hair follicles by approximately 21% and reduces the activity of the enzyme that converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone, no worse than finasteride, a drug used to treat alopecia.

According to laboratory studies, seveov stimulates hair growth by 93%. Compared to the effect of caffeine as a recognized natural stimulant (46%), this is a double figure.

It is believed that Selencin lotions with a unique composition are able to slow down the aging of hair follicles by 41% and stimulate hair growth more effectively than traditional treatment methods. At the same time, a person achieves restoration of hair thickness without the use of chemicals, painful injections and hair transplants, without drug withdrawal syndrome.

The results of the series application in the studied group of people with diffuse alopecia showed that the complex application of all external agents "Selencin" showed positive changes in 28% of subjects of both sexes already in the first month. After 8 weeks, hair loss stopped in all patients, their density increased due to the growth of new hair, and the hair structure also changed for the better (vellus hair acquired normal thickness). At the same time, taking tablets increased the indicators by more than 10%.

It should be noted that the patients did not use shampoo and conditioner every day, but twice a week, the mask once a week, and lotions daily (first strengthening, then stimulation). Tablets were given to half of the subjects according to the instructions. A stable therapeutic effect was observed over the next 3-6 months in both groups.

The absence of withdrawal syndrome and virtually no complaints of discomfort when using cosmetics can be considered one of the great advantages of this treatment series. And good results give hope to those people who have almost lost it, testing ineffective methods of treating alopecia on themselves.

Reviews from trichologists

Trichology is a branch of science that deals with issues related to hair: its structure, functioning, and health problems of the scalp. Specialists who diagnose and treat diseases of the scalp and hair are called trichologists. In medical institutions, in the absence of a trichologist, these issues fall on the shoulders of dermatologists.

As for products and preparations for hair treatment and health improvement, the opinion of trichologists is the most complete, unbiased and objective assessment, so it is worth listening to. What do experts say about the Selencin series of hair and scalp products?

It should be said right away that hair experts do not consider the Selencin restorative system as a universal pill for alopecia. Yes, cosmetics have a beneficial effect on the processes occurring in the scalp, improve blood supply to the hair and its saturation with nutrients, which is useful for any etiology of baldness, but all this can be called treatment of the consequences, and not the disease itself.

If your hair has been damaged by solar radiation, chemicals in paints and shampoos, or has been a victim of thermal exposure, as a result of which its structure and functionality have been disrupted (hair has become dry, lifeless, has begun to fall out, break, etc.), Selencin cosmetics will help to cope with the consequences of the influence of negative factors and restore your hair. In case of hair loss caused by stressful situations, you can also benefit from the products, but in order for the result to be lasting, it is necessary to put in order the nervous system, which is responsible for regulating the processes occurring in our skin and the body as a whole.

As for androgenic alopecia, trichologists believe that the prognosis for treating the pathology with Selencin products is not so rosy. And they can be understood. What guarantees can there be from using cosmetics if this genetically determined disease does not always respond successfully to complex treatment with medications and physiotherapy, so that often the only way out of the situation is hair transplantation?

The situation is even more complicated with baldness against the background of diseases, whether it is diffuse baldness caused by pathological hormonal disorders (endocrine diseases), or focal alopecia, which is associated with autoimmune processes. In these cases, the use of Selencin cosmetics does not justify itself, because it is not able to influence the processes occurring inside the body, the consequences of which we feel in the condition of our skin, hair, nails. With an active pathological process, Selencin is not effective, if you do not take into account the possible short-term effect.

“Selencin” will not help with cicatricial alopecia, since it does not have the ability to change the structure and properties of scar tissue.

In cases where a positive effect on skin and hair can be expected from medicinal cosmetics, it is important to understand that the effects declared by their manufacturers and testers are possible, but only under the condition of complex use of the entire series. Although the effectiveness of homeopathic tablets and granules still raises great doubts among most traditional medicine doctors (this applies to almost all homeopathic remedies, the effect of which is associated with the "placebo" effect, based on faith in the benefits of the drug), there are 5 more products in the series that should be used together.

In principle, many dermatologists and trichologists recommend the products of the Selencin series to their patients, realizing that these cosmetics will definitely be useful for the scalp and hair, even if they do not give a pronounced effect. And you do not need to think that this is done to help with the "revenue" of pharmacies and retail outlets. The doctor will still rely on the diagnosis, and is unlikely to offer expensive cosmetics to someone who will definitely not benefit from it.

Although there can be no firm belief that cosmetics will help a pregnant woman, a victim of incorrect selection of contraceptives, a victim of radiation or taking medications, etc. After all, these are cosmetics, not medicine, and even medical drugs that have strict indications for use and specific dosages do not always help and not everyone. For example, the same popular drug for alopecia " Minoxidil " does not give a 100% guarantee of solving the problem of hair loss. Much depends on the cause of the pathological condition, the degree of its neglect, the characteristics of the patient's body (the reaction to the same drug or cosmetics in different people can be different).

Customer Reviews

A person may start using the Selencin hair cosmetics series for various reasons. Someone liked the advertising kindly provided by the media or a neighbor (friend, relative), while another purchased and started using the products on the recommendation of a dermatologist or trichologist. What is the difference between them?

Firstly, in the question, was there a need to buy expensive cosmetics? Enthusiastic reviews of a lady who managed to restore her thinning hair cannot be a reason to try the product on yourself if you do not have hair loss, your hair does not become thinner, does not change its structure and appearance radically. If someone has had thin hair from birth (such a hereditary trait), "Selencin" is unlikely to significantly change the situation. But hopes for a miracle are the majority of negative reviews about the treatment series.

Secondly, a doctor, when prescribing a particular remedy, relies on facts (which is what he uses to make a diagnosis), not assumptions. We decide for ourselves why our hair is falling out and what can help it, not based on objective reality, but based on subjective opinion.

A person has a genetically determined increased sensitivity to androgens, but he blames stress and poor ecology for everything, and is still surprised that the advertised "Selencin" does not help him, although his neighbor has gorgeous hair thanks to it, even after going through a divorce. Often, factors act together, but the treatment of the consequences of the influence of exogenous and endogenous factors will differ, and it is often much more difficult to cope with the influence of the latter. Here is another reason for negative reviews.

There are still such amazing people who have no problems with their hair, but they have a manic desire to improve it. Usually these are the same individuals who love to write reviews under any posts. It is clear that the use of Selencin cosmetics, which helps to treat hair, and not to work miracles, receives a negative assessment, however, like any other.

Thirdly, when making a prescription, the doctor bases it on the real state of affairs and decides which products and in what combinations can help a person. For example, whether to limit oneself to shampoo and conditioner or to add a mask and lotions to the treatment, whether a person only needs a strengthening lotion or should it be used in combination with a restorative one. The doctor develops a treatment plan even when recommending medical cosmetics, while we, in the absence of knowledge and experience, act at random, and then become indignant at the lack of effect.

Yes, doctor's prescriptions do not always meet expectations (there may be no effect), but still the probability of a positive result in this case is higher, if we take into account statistics. Many young women whose hair began to noticeably thin during pregnancy are simply delighted by such an opportunity to preserve a beautiful hairstyle in a way that is safe for them and their children. "Selencin" makes it possible to stop pathological hair loss in children and adolescents, for the treatment of which not all medications are suitable. But the treatment of baldness in most people is still carried out by trial and error, even though everything indicates that the remedy should help.

Having read the reviews on the Internet, you can see that their distribution is approximately the same. The number of negative and positive reviews is approximately equal. That is, it is impossible to say that Selencin cosmetics are not effective, because there are people who have achieved good results with its help. Another thing is that such treatment is not suitable for everyone, especially if the causes of hair problems are not taken into account, but only the fact itself is stated.

It is not uncommon to read in reviews something like this: "I washed my hair with Selencin shampoo for a whole month, but my hair did not become thicker." So maybe a month is not enough for hair that has been exposed to negative influences for several months and years? Maybe they need a longer and more intensive therapy than just washing with shampoo that is on the head for only 2-3 minutes?

In addition, the manufacturer does not promise that the hair will grow at such a rate that in a month from zero it will be equal to those whose length is more than 10-15 cm. Even healthy hair grows no more than one and a half centimeters in a month, which we practically do not notice, having more than 80 thousand hairs on our heads. In order to see a noticeable positive result from the use of medical cosmetics, more than one month of its use is needed. In addition, even minor improvements during this period (from 2 to 4 weeks of use) can be considered a positive, encouraging result.

It must be said that the problem of baldness remains relevant today, despite the many developed methods and treatment regimens. The variety of causes of pathology and their simultaneous impact complicate the diagnosis and selection of effective methods to improve the health of the scalp and hair. And if we also take into account that the influence of some internal and hereditary factors is difficult to minimize, it becomes clear that a general approach to the treatment of alopecia and universal remedies simply cannot exist.

Selencin hair cosmetics are just one of the opportunities we have to improve our scalp and hair, and perhaps in specific cases they will help solve such a multifaceted and difficult problem of diffuse hair loss. Considering the scale of this problem, even stopping pathological hair loss in half of patients can be considered a great achievement, especially if this can be achieved without the use of chemicals harmful to the body.
