Spectral RS is an advanced hair loss treatment that increases hair growth and prevents hair loss without the use of Minoxidil.

Spectral RS® works by addressing multiple causes that can lead to thinning hair such as perifollicular fibrosis and internal factors such as stress, hormonal disturbances, lack of vitamins and mineral salts, and the use of certain medications. Perifollicular fibrosis is a condition that accompanies all hair loss whereby the collagen around the hair root becomes rigid and tightens, pushing the root to the surface and causing premature hair loss. Other ingredients in Spectral RS® help improve the nutrition, circulation, and metabolism of the follicle.

In addition to the great ingredients in Spectral RS, it employs a technology that allows the ingredients to get to the place where they can do their work. Nanosomes are tiny organic micro-spheres that penetrate into the lowest levels of the skin and gradually release the ingredients over a 15 hour period. By releasing the ingredients deep within the skin and over a long period of time, they become maximally effective.

All ingredients are derived from highest purity organic sources and work synergistically to deliver maximum results in the treatment of thinning hair.

Spectral DNC® is the world’s most effective topical hair loss treatment.

• Clinically proven to work faster than Rogaine®
• Works on the entire scalp, including frontal baldness
• Grows normally strong & healthy hair
• Combines the finest, research grade ingredients, including Aminexil®

Spectral DNC offers new hope to those who suffer from baldness and hair loss. Spectral DNC® is a new medication that incorporates Aminexil® a new, breakthrough compound. Aminexil is the only other topically applied molecule aside from Minoxidil that is clinically proven to re-grow hair.

In addition to the powerful combination of ingredients, a major advantage of Spectral DNC® is that the active ingredients are encapsulated in nanosomes. Nanosomes are micro-spheres that are 200 times smaller than human cells and penetrate into the deepest layers of the skin and release the active ingredients gradually over a 15 hour period. This technology dramatically boosts the effectiveness of the active ingredients since they are absorbed much deeper into the skin. Spectral DNC® is faster and more effective then Rogaine®. Spectral DNC® works both on the vertex of the head and the frontal hair line. Spectral DNC® gives the best chance of growing normally thick and healthy hair and works on people who previously did not respond to Rogaine® treatment.

Key ingredients:

• Minoxidil 5% (meets EP and USP specifications)
• Procyanidin B-2 & C-1
• Adenosine
• Aminexil SP94
• Retinol
• Nanosomes
• Copper Peptides
• Vitamin & Mineral Complex
