XL Hair

Hair loss or thinning hair is experienced by most people as annoying, worrying or frustrating. It happens to both men and women. If you also suffer from this, treatment with XL Hair® may be an option for you.

About XL Hair

XL Hair® is a ‘hair booster’, an injection fluid for the scalp that nourishes and reactivates the hair follicles. It contains a large number of active ingredients such as (natural) hyaluronic acid supplemented with a biorevitalization fluid, consisting of no fewer than 47 active ingredients (such as growth factors (FGF), copper peptide, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, peptides, amino acids and trace elements).

XL Hair® contains:

  • Hyaluronic acid (0.005 mg/5 ml)
  • Growth factors bFGF (Rh-polypeptide-1, copper peptide)
  • Deoxyribonucleic acid
  • Amino acids (alanine, folic acid, leucine, valine, tyrosine, glycine, histidine, isoleucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, proline, serine, threonine, etc.)
  • Trace elements (Ca, Fe,K, Mg, Mn, Na,P, Se)
  • Vitamins (A, PP, B, H, etc.)
  • Terpenes (quercetin)
  • Fatty acids (oleic acid, linoleic acid)
  • Flavonoids (rutin, kampferol)
  • Antioxidants (quercetin, citric acid, ginkgolides A-B-C-M)
  • NAD
  • NADP

How it works

  • Stops hair loss
  • Stimulates new hair growth
  • Nourishes and activates the hair follicles
  • Extends the anagen phase
  • Shortens the telogen phase
  • Reverses the process of shrinking of hair follicles (androgenetic alopecia)

During a consultation with your practitioner, a diagnosis is made and it is determined whether you are a suitable candidate for treatment with XL Hair®. Your practitioner will then discuss the treatment plan and expectations with you. To get the most out of your treatments, it is important that you follow the treatment plan and complete the course.

Important to take into account in advance: this treatment requires patience… Do not expect miracles in terms of pace. Most people experience that their hair no longer falls out after 4 to 5 treatments. After 6-9 weeks, some white hairs are often visible (a good sign!). 
Only after 6 months can it be truly and objectively evaluated how much new hair growth has actually occurred. The life cycle of a hair follicle is 3 months and it takes time for newly produced hairs to grow and become visible.

Candidates for an XL Hair treatment

There are several causes of hair loss (medical name: alopecia). Alopecia androgenetica (also known as male pattern baldness) and alopecia areata (genetic form, mainly affects women and children) are examples of alopecia in which the hair follicles (follicles) are not yet scarred.
With these forms of alopecia, XL Hair® has the greatest chance of success – as long as hair follicles are still present and there are no obvious other causes for the hair loss, such as underlying disease or medication use.

Your practitioner (usually a doctor or skin therapist) makes the diagnosis and determines whether you are a suitable candidate. In the following cases you are not (yet) ready for treatment with XL Hair®:

  • If you are allergic to any of the ingredients.
  • If you have wounds, a skin disease or an infection, for example a cold sore (herpes infection) or a streptococcal infection.
  • If you have a scarring form of alopecia.

Also consult your doctor if you are being treated with immunosuppressants or corticosteroids, or if you have an autoimmune disease, type 1 diabetes, acute rheumatoid arthritis, persistent angina pectoris or endocarditis.

Meestgestelde vragen over XL Hair

Do you have a question?

A treatment for men usually consists of 6 sessions, for women this is 8 sessions. The first 4 treatments should take place weekly and then once every two weeks. In some situations, more treatments may be necessary; your practitioner can advise you on this.

Om de behaalde resultaten te behouden of verder te verbeteren is het aan te raden om iedere 6-8 weken terug te komen voor een losse behandeling of de hele kuur na 6-8 maanden te herhalen. Overleg na afloop van de behandelkuur met je behandelaar wat voor jou het beste is.

XL Hair is administered by a cosmetic doctor via small injections into the scalp. When trying the treatment on ourselves, we found that the treatment is more painful than the manufacturer indicates. That is why we at Facial Care have consciously chosen to add a strong anesthetic to the liquid. This does not affect the effect, but does make the treatment comfortable. This offers a major advantage over treatment with a skin therapist who is not allowed to administer local anesthesia.

A combination treatment is certainly possible. Both treatments will stimulate each other. XL Hair will contribute to the recovery of your scalp and contributes to achieving maximum results. The hair transplant is usually performed first and you start the XL Hair sessions one month after the procedure.

Yes, after an XL Hair treatment you can usually resume your daily activities immediately. However, it is recommended to:

  • Avoid high temperatures for at least the first 24 hours after treatment, such as the sun, sauna and hammam;
  • Do not exercise or swim for the first 24 hours after treatment;
  • Do not use hairstyling products such as gel, wax, spray or foam for the first 24 hours after the treatment;
  • In case of side effects, contact the practitioner immediately;
  • Do not wash the hair on the day of the treatment (after the treatment).
