Question: Product information - Crescina
Question: I have been reading about a product called Crescina. Is it any good? Can this be used if I am already using Propecia and Minoxidil 12.5% + AA, as it all so has to be rubbed into the scalp?
Answer: This is a relatively unknown product and I had not heard of it until last week (when we received another question similar to yours).
Crescina contains two amino acids and a vasodilator (product that increases blood supply in the areas of application). Amino acids are the ‘building blocks’ of protein and the ones contained in Crescina are Cysteine and Lysine. Cysteine is also contained in Belgravia’s hair loss supplement ‘Hair Vitalics’.
There is no evidence to say that these amino acids will individually help towards stabilising hair loss or promoting hair growth and with regard to the vasodilator contained in the formulation; Minoxidil is the only vasodilator that has been proven to prevent hair loss and regrow hair and I have read reports of other vasodilators that have been tested but none have been found to have the same or similar effects to Minoxidil. The vasodilator in Crescina is not Minoxidil.
All in all I would not advise Crescina as a sole treatment for hair loss but it could perhaps be used as a ‘booster’ to the primary medications (which you are already using). If you wanted to apply the liquid as well as Minoxidil 12.5% + AA you would have to apply the Crescina and wait about 20 minutes until it is all absorbed into the scalp and then apply the Minoxidil cream.
Our primary recommendation as a natural booster would however be Hair Vitalics which is a daily supplement (pill) that contains many natural ingredients that will help to prevent hair loss and maintain the condition of your hair, including various amino acids and Saw Palmetto. Another suggestion would be the LaserComb, which is the only FDA cleared device for male hair loss. We are currently offering a free LaserComb with most of Belgravia’s treatment courses for hair loss.
