Scientist discovers protein in anti-wrinkle cream that thickens hair and restores color
New York NY – June 18, 2007 - DermaPlus, Inc., the maker of the popular wrinkle cream DermaLastyl, announces the launch of a new product Keracyte brand scalp conditioner. Using DermaPlus' patented active ingredient Elastatropin, Keracyte is formulated to stimulate hair follicles to make existing hair shafts thicker, stronger and longer. Keracyte also contains a proprietary catalytic anti-oxidant Prolisel that protects against the damaging effects of UV light and dihydrotestosterone (DHT).
Dr. Burt Ensley, PHD, a noted microbiologist and CEO of Dermaplus states, “We believe that healthy skin is the key to healthy hair growth. It is widely known that hereditary hair loss occurs when DHT and UV light damage cells in scalp follicles. The follicles get progressively smaller, shortening the hair growth cycle. The resulting hair is thinner and shorter and eventually stops growing at all. We know that human hair follicles are little factories associated with and responsible for production of proteins such as elastin and keratin. Not only is tropoelastin produced by the cells in the hair follicles but the follicles themselves appear to depend on it. To combat that recessive process, we applied the same recombinant DNA technology to hair care that we used for our DermaLastyl anti-wrinkle treatments. We found that older hair follicles grow larger in reaction to the Elastatropin and Prolisel. I have utilized this discovery to produce some astonishing results; not only are the hair shafts longer, thicker and stronger but amazingly many users report that Keracyte is restoring their natural hair color as well. Who would have thought a scalp conditioner would do all these things and also restore the hair’s natural color?”
