Antibiotic Could Stop Hair Loss – New Medical Breakthrough In The Treatment Of Hair Loss.

11.07.2007 in HAIR LOSS SCIENCE

A Japanese medical research team has found that a form of antibiotic could prevent cancer patients from losing hair during chemotherapy treatment, a doctor involved in the research study said this week.

Professor Sakai said his team had found that the drug “alopestatin” reduced hair loss by 70 percent when used on rats also given etoposide anti-cancer drugs.

Etoposide is widely used in the treatment of lung and other cancers but can cause hair loss.

Professor Sakai, at Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine, said his team was hoping to to put the agent to practical use in the near future.

“I want people to know that few studies have been made on reducing side-effects of anti-cancer drugs,” he said.

“This field is lagging behind (the development of cancer drugs) but is still important for patients’ quality of life.”

The study, which was outlined at an academic meeting in Japan last week, is still ongoing, and the chances are “low at the moment” that alopestatin will be commercialised soon, he said.

No clinical tests have been carried out or are yet in sight, but one possible use for humans would be to apply it to the head in the period when hair loss is most likely to occur during chemotherapy, he added.

For further information and updates on this exciting new breakthrough feel free to speak to one of our trichologists on our Hair Loss Advisory Helpline on 0207 976 6868.

HAIRMAX LASERCOMB

25.06.2007 in Uncategorized

The FDA has actually approved the HairMax Lasercomb for thicker, fuller hair.

hairmax-lasercomb.jpg

All energy consists of waves of energy and in the light bulb these waves are not organized or in sync with each other. The waves of light energy produced by a laser are synched or in phase with each other. These characteristics make laser energy a truly unique form of light energy.
LLLT is used throughout the world and for the energy produced by the HairMax LaserComb there are no reported or known adverse side effects.

Here’s the data the approval was based on (it’s not in any peer-reviewed journal we could find, and the fact that this page refers to it as a ‘miracle’ makes me question its independence):

For the FDA submission, Lexington conducted an extensive clinical study in four different locations across the United States. The study concluded that 93% of the participants (ages 30-60) using the HairMax LaserComb had an increase in the number of terminal (thick) hairs. The average number of terminal hairs per square centimeter increased by 19 hairs/cm2 over a six-month period. During the study, there were no reports of serious adverse events. The number and types of adverse events were similar in both the active and placebo groups.

How does this miracle work?

Fortunately, treatments using the HairMax LaserComb are easy to administer, only 10 to 15 minutes three times per week, and the laser device is convenient to use in the comfort and privacy of your own home. HairMax has been precision-engineered into a compact device about the size of a curling iron. Just pass it through your hair three times a week for about ten minutes for optimal results.

Of course, everybody is unique and results differ among individuals, but anecdotal trials have shown that over 90% of users experience positive benefits and are satisfied with the results they achieve. In general, about 45% of users see noticeable improvements in as little as 8 weeks of treatment. Another 45% realize benefits from 8 to 16 weeks. A small group of users take longer, seeing results around 16 weeks.

So after six months of 3-times-a-week use, laser users reported 19 more thick hairs per square centimeter.

Please let us know how you are all getting on with this product.

The lasercomb retails for over £300. Plus service and accessories.

Hair Loss – Peter’s Story.

18.06.2007 in TRICHOLOGIST

In my mid-twenties I became concerned with the amount of hair I was shedding…in the shower; in bed; at my desk etc. I made some enquiries and had a few consultations. I decided to go with the Hair Centre. They are a small friendly team, with a flexible approach to making appointments, working around busy lifestyles.

Mixing a family history of Male Pattern Baldness with day to day stress and a general dryness to my hair, I was put on a course of treatment.

Within a few months the shedding had dramatically decreased, re-growth had started to take affect, and the hair was looking stronger and healthier. 4 yrs on, there has been substantial re-growth…my hair is tighter, thicker and I am very happy!
