How Does Minoxidil Work and is there an alternative?

03.03.2010 in HAIR LOSS PRODUCTS AND TREATMENTS

Health Care

Minoxidil (Regaine) is a slightly oily solution that is rubbed into the scalp twice a day, or as recommended by your dermatologist. In its oral or intravenous form, it is a potent anti-hypertensive medicine, used in emergencies to lower critical blood pressures. It was during this use that hair growth was noted in patients with hair loss. Its exact mechanism of action is unknown; most experts feel that it causes dilation of the blood vessels in the scalp and increased exposure of the hair follicle to this flow. It has been shown to work best on the top of the head and less well at the angles. Its predominant effect is to decrease loss and maintain existing growth.

We recommend the use of Vitastim and if necessary Biostim as well, in all cases for best results.

Is there any treatment for hair loss?

22.12.2009 in HAIR LOSS PRODUCTS AND TREATMENTS

Depending on your type of hair loss, treatments are available. If a medicine is causing your hair loss, your doctor may be able to prescribe a different medicine. Recognizing and treating an infection may help stop the hair loss. Correcting a hormone imbalance may prevent further hair loss.

Treatments may also help slow or prevent the development of common baldness. One treatment, minoxidil another is Vitastim, these are available without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it. Another treatment, Biostim, this again is available without a prescription. It comes in a lotion form and is appropriate for both men and women to use. It may take up to 6 months before you can tell if one of these treatments is working.

If adequate treatment is not available for your type of hair loss, you may consider trying different hairstyles or wigs, hairpieces, hair weaves or artificial hair replacement. These are for extreme cases, as most types of hair loss are treatable in the early stages these days.

New Hair Loss Treatment

19.11.2009 in HAIR LOSS PRODUCTS AND TREATMENTS, HAIR LOSS [ PHOTOS ] TREATED

OVERVIEW
A topical anti-hair loss treatment of modified marine origin, demonstrated to be highly effective in the prevention and production of premature hair loss.

APPLICATION
Apply daily to the scalp with gentle massage.

TRICHO-PEPTIDE
Tricho-peptide contains a new molecule CLA Glutathione combined with sodium DNA, with very high biologic activity. At the scalp level the potent anti free radical activity of the tricho-peptide counteracts the degeneration of the connective tissue around the hair bulbs in cases of androgenetic alopecia. Tricho-peptide is a powerful anti oxidant and free radical inhibitor that enhances cell repair and regeneration, which tests showed could act as a regulator of the hair loss process.

TEST DATA
Tests on anagen hair follicles treated with tricho-peptide for three months showed a 40.00% improvement on anti hair loss activity compared with a control group treated with Minoxydil over the same period where the improvement was less at 17.60%.

SUMMARY
Tricho-peptide is a potent anti oxidant and free radical inhibitor which can act as a regulator of the bio chemical hair loss process.

Study Information and Results:

To evaluate the clinical characteristics and psychosocial dynamics of children with alopecia, Ahn and Ro had reported alopecia in children from January, 1991 to March, 1995 in the First Tricontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies in Brussels.

This study was performed from April, 1995 to December, 2000. Among 854 new alopecia OPD patients 161(19.0%) were children under 15 year old with alopecia (A. areata: 118, A. totalis: 32, A. universalis: 10 and trichotillomania: 2) Results were as follows:

1) The average age of alopecia in children was 7.8 years, and 55.9% were primary school students.
2) The most common type of alopecia in children was alopecia areata (73.3%).
3) The previous episodes of alopecia were observed in 12.4%, and family history was observed in 6.8%.
4) Atopic dermatitis was the most common associated disease (23.0%).
5) The eldest sibling or the children with stressful condition due to school task and extracuricular works had high morbidity (45.3%, 29.1%, respectively).
6) On the neuropsychiatric consultation, psychiatrically problematic cases were observed in 51.7%, and neurotic children and adjustment disorders were the most common problems among them.

These results suggest that alopecia in children was predominantly developed in primary school students, the eldest sibling, children with atopic dermatitis or deficient parent-child relationship.

Psychologic stress is an important factor in the development of the disease or may contribute as an aggravating factor.
