Former matinee idol Gabby Concepcion is still as handsome as ever. He can still make girls swoon with his be-dimpled smile, sparkling eyes, and macho body.
But as a 50-year old, Gabby knows that he needs to take extra care of his body, particularly his hair.
“I’m actually scared that I will soon have a receding hairline. So even if that time hasn’t come yet, I’m taking steps to strengthen my hair,” says the first ambassador of Anagen Advanced Hair Rebuild System of Healthwell Nutraceuticals Inc., an affiliate of YSA Skincare Corporation.
“We came up with the idea of Anagen to address the growing demand of the market for better, safer and real results for hair regrowth. I specifically thought of Anagen to be its brand because of its meaning. Anagen is a growing phase of hair follicles; it is also the active phase of the hair growth cycle,” says Healthwell President Paulo Legaspi who personally uses the natural, safe, and no bad-side-effects shampoo.
Anagen products include shampoo, hair tonic, and wax. It boasts many properties: grows hair, moisturizes, conditions, improves blood circulation, prevents hair fall, recovers skin temperature, helps repair salon-treated hair and sun-damaged hair, is anti-androgen / hormonal, antibacterial/antiseptic, and anti-dandruff. It even blackens hair and best of all, is cheaper than other brands.
Anagen is able to do all of these because of its main ingredients: Jiou liquid and Argan oil.
Jiou liquid is Japan’s secret to reverse hair loss as it promotes strong and healthy blood circulation necessary for hair growth. It contains saccharides that energize hair follicles, iridoid that blackens hair, catalpol that treats skin diseases and is anti-inflammatory, and amino acids that serve as the foundation of protein. One type of protein – keratin – makes up about 88 percent of each strand of hair on your body.
By boosting amino acids associated with hair growth, maintenance and protection, it’s possible to reduce hair loss. These amino acids can also help to restore hormonal balances. Amino acids increase the supply of blood to your hair follicles and increase the supply of nutrients to your hair.
Argan Oil, on the other hand, is often used as a hair treatment and conditioner because it is extremely beneficial for the hair and scalp. Vitamin E is extremely beneficial for the hair, and is found in Argan Oil in high quantities. Vitamin E promotes healthy hair growth as it contains antioxidants, which help boost cells and encourage them to produce healthy hair. It has even been used for hair regrowth.
Argan oil has a number of benefits when used on hair. It can act as a moisturizer for the scalp to fight dandruff and dry scalp. It can also promote the growth of healthy, strong hair as opposed to thin, brittle hair. It can even undo some of the damage done through chemical treatments and dyes, and can be used to treat split ends. Immediate benefits can be seen in people who use Argan Oil on their hair. It is an excellent agent for taming frizz and promoting shine and gloss, as well as softer, more manageable hair.
“Anagen is more effective compared to other hair growers because it can address the problem simultaneously through two different pathways. One is to inhibit the activity of Alpha Reductase enzyme that triggers the development of thinning hair or hair loss. At the same time, it accelerates the blood flow and activates the energy metabolism in hair follicles,” adds Robert Nazal, YSA Skin Care Corporation president.
