Bontress

Uses
Bontress Lotion (Capixyl) is a hair loss treatment made from a complex of biomimetic peptides combined with red clover extract. It works directly on the scalp and helps to stimulate hair growth and decrease inflammation. Indications include hair loss in men and seasonal hair loss. Some menopausal women have also used it. Male pattern baldness is a significant cosmetic problem affecting a great deal of men, and is particularly common in middle aged men. It is a genetic condition which occurs when the hair growth cycle is interfered with, and a hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone) is believed to play a key role in this, due to its effects on the hair follicle and the oxidative stress it causes. This leads to thinning hair.

Acetyl tetrapeptide-3 is one of the components in this lotion, and it is combined with an extract from the red clover plant which is rich in biochanin A, (a flavonoid known to have many medical properties). Medical studies have lead many doctors to believe that it contributes to a positive effect on hair growth due to it inhibiting the activity of an enzyme called 5-alpha reductase, which may then affect DHT levels. It can also stimulate the production of ECM proteins at the hair follicles. This reduces the miniaturization of hair follicles, and leads to thicker, natural looking healthy hair.
