Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between Densifique and Aminexil?
Aminexil is an anti-hair loss treatment that prolongs hair life. Densifique is a density activator that targets the dormant phase to stimulate new hair growth. Both can be used complementarily.
What is the difference between Densifique and Initialiste?
Densifique acts on hair quantity by stimulating the creation of new fibers. Initialiste acts on the quality of existing hair. Both can be used synergistically.
Is Densifique effective on a bald person?
No. Densifique only acts on dormant but still living follicles. It cannot reactivate a permanently inactive follicle.
Is 3300 new hairs in 3 months a lot?
Yes. It is a significant clinical result that represents a visible increase in hair mass thickness and better overall scalp coverage.
I don't have time, 3 months of treatment is too long. What should I do?
The hair cycle requires this time for optimal results. However, thanks to texturizing polymers, visible results are noticeable quickly: hair has more body and holds style better from 10 days.
Is it mandatory to massage the scalp when applying the vials or tubes?
Yes. Circular massage stimulates microcirculation in the scalp and optimizes the absorption of active ingredients.
Can I use Densifique all year round?
Yes. Continuous or annual use can help maintain density results at their optimal level. Sérum Jeunesse is particularly suitable for prolonged daily use.
Will the treatment make my hair greasy?
The formula dries quickly and generally leaves no residue. For very oily scalps, it is advisable to apply the treatment in the evening.
