Propecia Update |
 |
|
A 5 year study on Propecia with
some great results.
PROPECIA works for most men:
Most (65%) men treated with
PROPECIA at Year 5 had increased
hair count, while all men in the
placebo group lost hair.
Men who started treatment
with placebo and were switched
to PROPECIA 1 year later never
caught up to the men who were
treated with PROPECIA for the
full 5 years.
Further treatment is unlikely
to be of benefit if the drug has
not worked within 12 months.
Stopping treatment leads to a
gradual reversal of the
beneficial effects within 12
months.

Transcript from Last Months Web
Chat |
 |
View the complete transcript
from last months online chat
with Dr Chu.
Paul wants to know: "Are
there any hair loss treatments
that are available from the
pharmacy?" Dr Tony Chu said: Hi
Paul, the only treatment you can
buy in the pharmacy without
prescription is Regaine. The
only other scientifically proven
treatment is on prescription
only.
Sam wants to know: "Do you
think that one day there will be
a gene therapy that will banish
baldness for ever?" Dr Tony Chu
said: Hi Sam, possibly, but not
in my lifetime. Unfortunately,
as far as genetic diseases go,
baldness probably rates fairly
low and genetic research is very
time consuming.
Kit wants to know: "Should I
see my doctor before I start
using hair loss treatment?" Dr
Tony Chu said: Hi Kit. Yes.
Mainly because there are several
different types of hair loss and
hair loss may be caused by a
hormone or dietary deficiency.
It's best to make sure that you
have the correct diagnoses
before pursuing treatment.

Versican expression by dermal
papilla-regenerated hair
follicles - a promising tool for
hair-regrowth products
Hair follicle stem cells and
dermal papilla cells play
essential roles in the cyclical
hair regeneration process.
However, compared with the
recent progress of follicular
stem cell research, detailed
analysis of dermal papilla cells
is virtually unknown. We have
focused on a large chondroitin
sulfate proteoglycan molecule,
versican, and prove its pivotal
role in hair follicle induction
both in vitro and in vivo.
These results demonstrated
the pivotal role of versican in
hair induction both in vitro and
in vivo and will connect the
missing link between the signal
from dermal papilla cells to
follicular stem cells, and
initiation of hair regeneration.

Sapote for hair loss
The latest in our natural
treatment section.
In 1970, clinical tests at
the University of California at
Los Angeles failed to reveal any
hair-growth promoting activity
but confirmed that the oil of
sapote seed is effective in
stopping hair-fall caused by
seborrheic dermatitis.

Nanogen |
 |
Since this product was launched
it has become the number one
seller in the concealer
products.
Cheaper than its rivals, it
is getting great reviews with
very positive feed back from
users. I would suggest you try
this product. You will probably
never use another brand again !!
Nanofibres are a unique
formulation of pure keratin that
have been precision cut by laser
to microscopic dimensions. After
cutting, the fibres are dyed and
are coated to enhance the
retention of electrostatic
charge.
The dried fibres are then
hygienically packed into
containers, which are
constructed from a sophisticated
polymer that stimulates static
charging of the fibres whenever
the container is moved.
