Nioxin - Skin Care For The Scalp

We often treat our facial skin with products to prevent the effects of aging. In much the same way, the scalp must be treated properly to maintain a healthy scalp environment and keep hair healthy-looking and strong.

And like facial skin, the scalp is susceptible to everything we come into contact with every day - things of which most of us may not be aware. Toxins, air pollutants, chlorine, sunlight, minerals and water pollution can affect the scalp skin and contribute to the problem of thinning hair. For example, excessive exposure to sunlight allows harmful UV rays to penetrate the skin including our scalp. This causes skin cells to age, which thickens the scalp skin contributing to follicle instability.

Most shampoos, conditioners and styling products are formulated to clean, condition and support styling of the hair fiber/strand. Unfortunately, many of these products have damaging alcohols and PVP film formers that coat the hair and create build-up on the scalp. In some cases, this will clog the follicle and may further aggravate the overall problems associated with thin-looking hair.

For twenty years, NIOXIN has been developing advanced technologies for products that help optimise the scalp skin environment resulting in youthful, healthy-looking hair. Each System is designed to maximise your individual potential and with eight different systems to choose from, there's one to suit your exact requirements.

Nioxin BioAmp (contained in System 1, 2, 3, 4)
BioAmp utilises glycol-proteins to add thickness and strengthen the hair from inside the cuticle; while cystine acids work to seal the cuticle and help repair damaged fine hair.

Nioxin Activ-Renewal (contained in System 1, 2, 5, 6)
Activ-Renewal gives a more youthful-looking scalp and fuller, healthier looking hair.

Nioxin SmoothPlex (contained in System 5, 6, 7, 8)
SmoothPlex is a proprietary blend of silk amino acids and kukui nut oil that adds moisture, natural shine and smooth control to medium to coarse hair.

Nioxin Glyco-Color Shield (contained in System 3, 4, 7, 8)
Glyco-Color Shield with dual protection technology protects your scalp from damage and irritation of chemical services such as highlights, lowlights, permanent waves, relaxers, etc., while preserving your hair colour.

Nioxin Transactive Delivery System (contained in System 1, 3, 5, 7)
If your hair is normal to thin-looking, the skin surface is predominantly thin. Transactive Delivery System is a time-release system that is formulated with vitamins, moisturising nutrients and botanicals.

Nioxin Scalp Access Delivery System (contained in System 2, 4, 6, 8)
For those with noticeably thinning hair, the scalp is more exposed making the skin surface thicker. Formulated with antioxidants, Scalp Access is a micronutrient system that delivers moisturising nutrients and proteins onto the scalp and hair.

Nioxin - Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the most frequently asked question we receive reagarding Nioxin fine and thinning hair loss products. But if the answer to your question is not belwo, please just use our 'Contact Us' page and we'll be happy to answer your query.

Which of the 3 products (cleanser, scalp therapy or scalp treatment) removes environmental residue from the scalp skin?
Cleanser will remove environmental residue from the scalp skin; the Treatment will protect the scalp from environmental residues. All products work in concert to improve the overall scalp environment.

Do NIOXIN products remove DHT?
Daily use of the NIOXIN system cleanses excess sebum containing elevated levels of Dihydrotestosterone, (DHT) from the scalp and hair.

What is the difference in the Cleansers for normal to thin looking hair and the noticeably thinning formulas?
The difference is in the formulation. There is a unique combination of proprietary technologies in each of our 8 cleansers.
i) The cleansers formulated for normal to thin looking hair include a Transactive Delivery System that provides the skin and hair with nourishment through a time-release based delivery system.
ii) The cleansers formulated for noticeably thinning hair include the Scalp Access Delivery System which provides nutrients to the scalp and hair by using a chaperone molecule system. This provides nourishment to the scalp skin that has a lot more UV and environmental exposure.

What makes NIOXIN different from any other hair care system?
Most other products address the dead keratin fiber we know as 'hair', cleansing and moisturising the hair fiber to make the hair shiny and smooth. NIOXIN products are formulated very differently. They are first and foremost, skin care products for the scalp, which is a living organic tissue. And then adapted to work in an environment that has hair in the environment. Thus NIOXIN products are removing environmental residues, removing build up left behind by other hair care products and restoring moisture and moisturising nutrients to the scalp skin while still providing the 'cleansing' and 'moisturising' that any customer would demand from a world-class hair care product.

How long does it take before I begin to see a difference?
People with fine and thin looking hair may see an increase in thickness and volume in 10 or less applications.

How often do I use the three part system?
Daily for the best results. If you are not able to use the three part system every day, use the three part system as often as possible.

Can NIOXIN products be used by individuals with alopecia?

Are NIOXIN products beneficial for individuals losing hair due to genetics?

Regardless of the many contributing factors associated with thinning, using NIOXIN to create an optimum scalp environment helps encourage healthy, thicker-looking hair.

NIOXIN products are safe for use during chemotherapy treatments and help promote a healthy scalp environment
