Frequently Asked Questions

How will I know if ETG Treatment will work for me?

In order to ensure that ETG Treatment is appropriate to your specific situation, your ETG
Treatment Center will ask you to complete a short questionnaire. Because there are many
possible causes of excessive hair loss, questions regarding your health and history of balding
will be asked. Results of the questionnaire will be reviewed with you. If you are a suitable
candidate, a treatment schedule will be recommended and costs will be discussed.

What does ETG Treatment involve?

During each 12-minute ETG Treatment session, you will recline on a comfortable ergonomically
designed chair with a semi-spherical hood. Nothing will touch your scalp or body.

How effective is ETG Treatment?

Clinical studies over the years have verified independently the efficacy of ETG. Your ETG
Treatment Center has copies of published studies that report that the majority of ETG clients
experience no further excessive hair loss, with many exhibiting regrowth.

What about safety and side effects?

In all clinical studies, ETG Treatment was shown to be extremely safe with no side effects.

How many treatments will I require?

There is no permanent "cure" for baldness. For clients seeking long-term benefits, our research
has shown that ongoing treatment is required to achieve excessive hair loss stability and/or
future regrowth. Weekly treatments are usually recommended. (Additional treatments each week
have not been found to be more beneficial.)

When will I see results?

Results will vary from client to client depending on a number of factors. Studies have shown that
many individuals notice decreased hair loss as early as four to six weeks. However, it is quite
common for individuals to require a longer period before results are visible.

What will happen if I stop my ETG Treatment?

In all likelihood, you will lose the new hair in a matter of months. In addition, the balding process
will probably be triggered again, and shedding will resume.

How does ETG compare to topical minoxidil?

Minoxidil is the topical medication for excessive hair loss currently available to the public. While
minoxidil requires two daily applications, ETG Treatment does not involve any direct application
of chemical agents to the scalp and exhibits no side effects. There are, however, no clinical
studies to date comparing the two responses to excessive hair loss.

How does ETG compare to Propecia?

Propecia is a drug available only on prescription. The pills can only be taken by men, and must be
taken once per day. ETG Treatment does not involve prescription drugs, nor exhibit side effects.
As with Minoxidil, there are no clinical studies to date comparing the two responses to excessive
hair loss.

Does ETG work for everyone?

The best results in ETG Treatment are achieved with clients who have just begun to notice excessive hair loss. However, many clients of all ages, male and female, have benefited from regular ETG Treatment sessions.

What about hair loss caused by chemotherapy?

A pilot study with 13 women undergoing CMF chemotherapy for breast cancer has been completed in Auckland, New Zealand. These women were treated concurrently with the ETG device. Study results published in Psycho-Oncology, Volume 11: 244-248 (2002) state that 12 of 13 women had good hair retention throughout the chemotherapy period and afterwards.
