With XYON, Hair Loss Has Never Been More in Your Control

XYON’s entry into the hair-retention game is a welcome one, with bespoke formulations for your personal needs.

Sure, many guys look great bald, but it’s nice to choose baldness rather than be forced into it. In some cases, hair loss is optional. That might sound far-fetched, because few bald men out there would say they willingly opted out of having hair. But with the efficacy of treatments these days, you do have the choice so long as you act early. When armed with the right products—ones tailored to your specific hair-loss patterns—you can prevent it, even if you’re genetically predisposed. The sooner you do so, the better.

Think of male-pattern hair loss (known clinically as androgenetic alopecia, or AGA) like you would any other gradual medical or grooming concern. The earlier you get ahead of these things, the less you have to worry about their negative impact on the back end (like wearing sunscreen to prevent sunspots and skin damage). If you have a full head of hair now, lock it in! Don’t be the guy with half a head of hair desperately trying to save face—well, scalp.

Hair-loss Statistics at a Glance

It might feel like a guessing game as to whether or not you’ll lose your hair, but look at the numbers: Studies show over half of men will experience moderate to severe hair loss by age 49, while 16 percent of men aged 18 to 29 will report the significant loss. Studies also show we’re five to six times likelier to experience AGA if our fathers also lost their hair to the condition; in fact, some 80 percent of AGA cases are proven to be inherited. Even if your dad or grandfather’s hair is ample, the data indicates majority of men need some kind of intervention to maintain a full head of hair. Again: the earlier, the better.

Hair-loss Remedies: Then and Now

In the era of telemedicine—and with key hair-loss patents expiring—we’ve been fortunate to have easy access to hair-retention medicines. A number of brands sell the most common hair-loss treatments, finasteride and minoxidil, that were once only available as Propecia and Rogaine, respectively.

However, most of these companies are white labeling their low-cost pills and topical products, treating hair loss with a one-size-fits-all approach. If you ask for a prescription or product, they’ll happily sell it to you. That shouldn’t be the case. Every person experiences AGA in a different way, and everyone tolerates medicines differently, too. Thus, each person should receive tailored treatment, even if what they need is a hard reality check about hair loss that can’t be restored.

This is why XYON’s entry into the hair-retention game is a welcome one. Among XYON’s offerings is a topical gel uniquely formulated to each person’s needs. Available exclusively at XYON, the patent-pending formulation, known as SiloxysSystem™, has a unique ability to control-release active ingredients (like finasteride or dutasteride) into the layer of the scalp where the follicles are anchored. This allows for maximum absorption where the product is most needed—as opposed to dripping down the sides of your scalp after application, which is the issue with most solutions offered these days—and ensures less of the drug enters into the bloodstream. To ensure added safety and integrity, XYON’s formulations each go through rigorous stability and microbial tests during their development. Also worth noting: Studies show topical solutions have fewer negative sexual side effects but are equally as effective at treating hair loss.

Meet the Masterminds of XYON

At the core of XYON and its customer-tailored formulas and follicle-targeting technology is a pair of experts on health and hair loss: co-founders Dr. Victor Hasson and Dr. Simon Pimstone. Hasson, who created SiloxysSystem™, is a globally renowned hair-restoration expert and surgeon with 25 years of experience. Pimstone, who’s also XYON’s CEO, has spent over 25 years as a clinician and an entrepreneur in biotechnology and drug development. Prior to founding XYON, Hasson and Pimstone studied more than 1,000 men in the U.S. to learn about stress and anxiety in connection to hair loss. This empathic approach, one that acknowledges the psychosocial aspect of hair loss, is infused into XYON’s business and DNA.

A key reason for Hasson and Pimstone founding XYON is to offer men modern, bespoke, and preventative solutions to hair loss, which weren’t available to Pimstone when he lost his hair in his 20s. We’ve experienced a massive leap in accessibility in the past decade alone, and recent technological advancements can potentially provide better results with fewer side effects. It’s also why the conversation is changing from a focus on reactive hair-loss treatments to proactive hair-loss prevention in people with the highest risk.

XYON customers have access to other benefits, too. There’s online, rapid turnaround access to top-tier dermatologists and other doctors trained in hair loss, who assess your needs and recommend the best offering for your particular case. Importantly, customers get an independent clinical assessment and receive a bespoke treatment plan, which may include FDA-approved medications or a compounded topical formulation if that's deemed in the best interests of the customer.

No need to worry about things like onboarding costs, consultation fees, co-pays, shipping and the like. Your subscription is all-inclusive once you enroll, with monthly costs dependent on what prescription you receive. And the process is not only convenient, but discreet, with medications delivered directly to your doorstep. You’ll have access to up-to-date educational articles on hair loss from leading specialists. And in the near future, XYON will also be offering non-prescription products like a shampoo and conditioner with natural, targeted ingredients like saw palmetto (which is known to inhibit the effects of dihydrotestosterone, or DHT, a key contributor to men’s hair loss). A balancing, fortifying scalp oil will soon follow, as well as targeted hair-loss solutions for women.

Remember, early prevention is key. Nothing can bring back drastic hair loss. After follicles go dormant and cease to produce new hairs, they eventually dry up entirely and can no longer be restored (even with prescription medicines). Also, anything lost to recession is likely gone for good. At best, you can revive thinning strands atop your head that were impacted up to a year prior to intervention.

So, don’t be the guy who starts his hair-loss regimen too late; it could be the difference between having a full head of hair and a locked-in hairline at 60 versus shaving off what few wisps remain.
