When it comes to preventing or slowing hair loss, most people know about Minoxidil or Rogaine. But there’s now a gentler, more holistic option that delivers powerful results — without medication side effects or the dreaded “shedding phase.”
Havogen 5 is an innovative transdermal patch that delivers nutrients directly to the follicles through the skin. Developed by CRLAB (Trichology Research Laboratories), it supports hair strength, helps balance scalp oil, and nourishes the hair bulb — all without taking a pill.
At Jeffrey Paul’s Hair & Scalp Specialists in Cleveland, we include Havogen 5 as part of our Hair Loss Prevention and Sebum Regulating Protocols. It helps balance scalp function, supports stronger hair growth, and can help reduce excess shedding for guests experiencing early thinning or scalp imbalance.
What Is the Havogen 5 Patch?
The Havogen 5 Patch is clear, water-resistant, and worn for 12 hours each day. Through advanced slow-release technology, it gradually diffuses a synergistic blend of Saw Palmetto (Serenoa Repens), 5-Alpha-Avocuta™ (avocado extract), amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants that target several of the contributing factors behind hair thinning.
Because it works through the skin, it bypasses the digestive system — making it an excellent option for anyone with a sensitive stomach or difficulty tolerating oral supplements.
How It Works to Support Healthier Hair
- Helps block DHT at the root: Saw Palmetto and Avocuta™ help inhibit 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT — one of the main triggers of pattern hair thinning.
- Balances scalp oil: Helps regulate excess sebum that can clog follicles and contribute to scalp inflammation.
- Feeds and strengthens follicles: B-vitamins, L-cysteine, and yeast extract supply essential building blocks for keratin formation and thicker hair growth.
- Protects from oxidative stress: Antioxidants and Superoxide Dismutase help neutralize free radicals and support scalp balance.
- Improves attachment comfort: For guests wearing hair systems or toppers, a healthier scalp means less itch, odor, and slippage between visits.
By reducing DHT buildup and improving scalp nourishment, many users notice less shedding and stronger, more resilient hair over time.
Havogen 5 vs. Oral Minoxidil or Rogaine
While both Havogen 5 and Minoxidil aim to support hair growth, they work in completely different ways:
| Feature | Havogen 5 Patch | Oral / Topical Minoxidil (Rogaine) |
|---|---|---|
| Type | Transdermal nutrient patch | Drug (vasodilator) |
| Mechanism | Nourishes follicles & reduces DHT | Increases blood flow and synchronizes hair cycles |
| Initial Shedding | ❌ Not typically experienced | ⚠️ Common during early use |
| When Stopping | Benefits fade gradually | Often followed by temporary shedding |
| Digestive Sensitivity | Bypasses stomach — gentle for sensitive systems | Can irritate skin (topical) or upset stomach (oral) |
| Approach | Holistic and supportive | Medicinal and reactive |
In short: Minoxidil pushes follicles to grow — Havogen 5 nourishes them to thrive.
“Unlike Minoxidil, which can temporarily synchronize follicles and cause initial shedding, Havogen 5 works through a gentler, nutrient-based approach that doesn’t typically trigger that response.”

How to Use the Havogen 5 Patch
- Apply one patch daily for 12 hours.
- Place it at the base of the neck and alternate sides each day (left, then right).
- Use for 90 days, then pause for 30 days before starting a new cycle.
Consistency is key — think of it as a daily vitamin for your hair.
