One on One with Carlos Piña
A Journey to Success
As with many immigrants to the United States of America, Carlos Piña and his family took every opportunity to become Americans at great risk to themselves and a strong desire to achieve greatness.
Carlos was born in Havana, Cuba in 1955. He and his family lived under the rule of Fidel Castro. He and his family longed to live in a place that allowed them to experience what every American expects and often takes for granted… all of the freedoms granted under the U.S. Constitution.
From November 1965 to February 1966 President Lyndon Johnson initiated something called “Freedom Flights” which allowed Cuban citizens to leave Cuba and come to America. Carlos’s family were sponsored by an older brother who had already settled in the United States and in 1966, at the age of 10, he and his family were granted political asylum by the U.S. Government.
Carlos began his career by delivering the Miami Herald Newspaper in the early mornings and the late afternoons. He has always maintained his independence and worked for himself from age 11 until the present day.
On August 10th, 1974 he married his wife Maria and will soon celebrate his 41st anniversary. He and Maria have 2 daughters (Francis born in 1975 and Alexis born in 1978.) They also have 5 grandchildren ranging in age from 2 to 7 years old.
Carlos is the Chief Executive Officer of his company which provides the Capillus 272, Capillus Office Pro and Hair Therapy Products. His wife Maria is COO and his daughter Francis is CMO.
Carlos has extensive experience in the hair loss industry, in advertising and marketing. He is the head of a global network with access to experts in his field on a worldwide level and is dedicated to providing leading-edge products with the latest innovative technology.
Our goal is that this interview will help to educate and allow our readers to know about Carlos and what he has to offer to the hair restoration industry.
Before we begin we’d like to offer a brief definition of what LLLT (Low-Level Laser Technology) is.
“LLLT uses low level (low output power) lasers and or light-emitting diodes to boost hair follicle function. The laser’s energy is used to stimulate hair growth through a process called photobiomodulation, whereas the light from a laser has an effect on your hair follicles when the specific wavelength of light is absorbed by the target tissue (scalp). LLLT encourages new hair growth through either a direct or an indirect increase in proliferative activity within the hair follicle epithelial matrix.”
HS: How long have you been offering the Capillis272?
CP: Since 2012.
HS: What is the Capillus 272?
CP: Doctors believed that lasers stimulate vessels that go directly to the hair follicle to stop hair loss and encourage regrowth of hair. Therefore we developed the Capillus272 cap which contains272 lasers. These lasers energize the hair follicles and spur new, natural hair growth.
Under the guidance of a hair restoration professionals, Capillus272 may be used as a stand-alone treatment for hair loss or in conjunction with topical foams, prescription medicines and hair transplant surgeries. The device and treatment protocol is cleared by the FDA to promote hair growth in males and females with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
