What products does the L4L line for men include?

The L4L line for men includes three products: two shampoos (strengthening and anti-dandruff) and the active serum against hair loss.

Why does the L4L line for men contain different products from the line for women?

The L4L line was designed exclusively for women and their needs. That is why this line is more “beautifying” – besides the active serum, it also includes the shampoo and the conditioner that gives shine and makes combing easy. Whereas the L4L line for men, besides the serum, includes two shampoos – strengthening and hair thickening, and anti-dandruff. These are the problems that affect men most frequently.

Can the serum for hair be used after keratin straightening?

YES.

Can the line of products for hair be used by pregnant women?

Before we introduced the product on the market, we conducted safety and efficacy testing on people who were not pregnant, under the supervision of a dermatologist. We recommend that pregnant women should postpone the start of the therapy until the end of the confinement period. It relates to ensuring total safety as well as balancing possible hormonal disruptions during and after pregnancy that could influence the condition of the skin and hair.

How long does the therapy using the hair serum last? How long should the product last?

Depending on use (locally or on the entire head), the serum suffices for up to 2 months. In order to maintain the effect, it is worth continuing the therapy 2-3 times per week.

Is that normal that after applying the serum the hair falls out more frequently?

Our experience suggests that it can be observed that the hair falls out in the first stage of the therapy (after about 2 weeks); this happens because of boosted microcirculation in the scalp and an intensive stimulation of the hair growth cycle. The therapy should be continued.

What about using the serum on an oily scalp (is regular use connected with more frequent shampooing?) or on thin hair that is easily weighed down by cosmetics?

The level of which the hair is weighed down depends on its porosity. In most cases, if the product is applied in the proper way, the hair is not weighed down.

I have been using the entire line of products against hair loss (for 1.5 months) and I have noticed that my hair has started to fall out pretty quickly – is that normal?

Our experience suggests that it can be observed that the hair falls out during the first stage of the therapy (after about 2 weeks); but this passes and the effects are visible after finishing the therapy. This happens because of the boosted hair growth cycle and the preparation of the hair root for producing a new and healthier hair fibre.

Is hair loss during the use of the conditioner normal or dangerous?

Our experience suggests that it can be observed that the hair falls out in the first stage of the therapy (after about 2 weeks); but this passes and the effects are visible after finishing the therapy. This happens because of the boosted hair growth cycle and the preparation of the hair root for producing a new and healthier hair fibre. 

How long does one shampoo last?

One shampoo suffices for the entire recommended period of therapy that is for 3 weeks use for short male hair. 

The line for men does not include a conditioner and the package does not say “2in1” – won’t the hair be matt after shampooing?

The shampoo formulas contain nourishing and moisturising ingredients, such as urea, argan oil and D-Panthenol, which ensure hair softness and flexibility.

Which product out of these three is the best? Which product shall we start with?

L4S or Clinical Lift – which product is more suitable for me? I am 55 years old.

The best recommendation is to choose cosmetics based on their function. If you are looking for a rich nourishing cream for everyday use that is designed to lift the oval of your face and complement the losses in skin structure – then the Clinical Lift line would be most suitable. However, if you are looking for a product with an instant lifting effect, you should go for the Lift for skin. The best solution is complete care – a selected day/night cream for mature skin and the L4S serum for enhancing the rejuvenation effect.

What is the consistency of the serum? Do both serums have the same consistency?

The consistency of both serums is light and delicate, and it absorbs quickly, leaving a silky surface.

How often should the serum be used? Daily or from time to time? 

It depends on your needs – for the best effect, the serum should be used twice daily, in the morning and in the evening, especially on the areas which are most prone to the creation of mimic wrinkles.

Is a single daily application of the serum sufficient to produce an effect?

Yes, however, the optimum effect will be obtained after applying the serum twice daily, especially when wrinkles are clearly defined.

The serum instead of a cream – can it be used as a substitute?

Yes, however, skincare requirements should be taken into consideration in the first place. The serum for dry skin has been enriched with moisturising ingredients and the serum for normal and combination skin has been enriched with mattifying and pore tightening ingredients. The main purpose of the L4S line is an anti-wrinkle effect. It may happen that a particular person’s skin requires greater moisture, and then we recommend the additional use of a small amount of the cream.

I have used the serum and I don’t see any effect. Why?

The speed of action of each cosmetic depends on the severity of the problem, its cause and the frequency of product use. The improvement of skin condition is usually visible already after the first use. However, the effects will last if the product is used regularly.

How long does the effect last?

There are no contraindications for the constant use of L4L products to maintain the effects. If the cause of the hair loss is not diagnosed and resolved (e.g. hormonal alopecia, androgenic alopecia, age, medicines, diet, or stress), the use of external products that prevent hair loss will merely lead to a temporary improvement.

We recommended L4L for a Botox-like effect – eliminating wrinkles and providing intensive rejuvenation.  However, primers are designed to prolong the duration of make-up.

I have never used product like this before. What effect does it have?

SYN®-AKE works like aesthetic medicine procedures using Botox – a well-known and effective method for wrinkle smoothing. Botox produces mimic muscle paralysis, which may entail a range of adverse effects.
