    Hairloss-prevention Forums

    We are frequently being asked to provide a hair loss forum specifically for the UK.

    Delayed re technical problems.

    Will be appearing soon as resolved.

     

    Propecia Update
    Researchers re-assess side effects of hair loss treatment.

    Men who take Propecia for hair loss experience minimal effects on sexual function, Italian researchers report.

    In clinical trials, up to 4.4 per cent of men treated with the drug reported sexual side effects.

    However, in the current study no sexual side effects were observed.

    Mouse model gives insight to human hair loss
    A progressive skin disease causing hair loss in adult humans was identified in laboratory mice, providing a genetic tool to study the disease known as alopecia areata (AA).

    "Our mouse model has proven to be very useful as a preclinical model to test new treatments for alopecia areata before being used in humans," states lead researcher, John P. Sundberg, D.V.M., Ph.D., of The Jackson Laboratory inBar Harbor, Maine. The study further provided the opportunity to use newly available gene array technology to study AA's molecular mechanisms.

    In this 5-year study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, researchers identified a virtually identical mouse model for human adult onset AA and were able to reproduce the disease for exploring treatments. Data revealed that the disease has a complicated genetic basis that involves 4 or more genes.

    These genes include those involved in susceptibility to the disease and genes that regulate pigmentation of the skin and hair.

    Hair cloning again
    Nov. 4, 2004 -- Balding men and women take note. Hair cloning -- the next hair restoration remedy -- is on the way.

    OK, it's not exactly cloning, although that's what it's come to be called. Researchers working to perfect the new technique prefer the term "hair multiplication."

    And no, it's not ready for prime time. Not yet, says Ken Washenik, MD, PhD. Washenik is medical director for Bosley, the giant hair restoration company that's one of several firms racing to bring hair multiplication to market. He's also clinical assistant professor of dermatology at New York University Medical Center.

    Food Helps Reduce Hair Loss
    Hair loss is common in cancer patients. We constantly are reminded of this devasting side effect when we see pictures of hundreds of children with bald heads who have been treated with chemotherapy.

    In addition to this side effect, reports show that 25-50 percent of hospital cancer patients suffer from Protein Calorie Malnutrition and only 1/3 of them survive five years. To help prevent these side effects, many doctors are recommending to their patients a food from Asia (liquid fermented/nitrogenated soybean beverage) that has been used as a parallel therapy in many documented cases, alongside traditional cancer treatments.

    The beverage's benefits include strengthening of the immune system and a reduction in side effects normally associated with these types of treatments.

    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.
