Greetings!
Welcome to the August issue.
In the news this month - This is hair loss awareness month
also latest news on Dutasteride
Concealers
The last two months featured products have been hair
thickeners/cover up products.
The question I been asked the most lately is, Do they work ?
The easy answer is, Yes. However you will need to practice and
have a lot of patience to begin with until you build up
confidence in applying the products.
To apply yourself is the hardest option but if someone can
apply the product for you, you will get excellent results that
can be virtually undectable. You must have hair in the first
place to use these product as the cannot just be be applied to a
bald scalp. Patience and practice will pay dividends for you,
the results can be quite stunning !!
The best ones around are Nanogen - DermMatch - Toppik - Mane.

Dutasteride Update |

GlaxoSmithKline receives approval from the European
Reference Member State for dutasteride to treat benign
prostatic hyperplasia
GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) today announces that it has
received approval from the Swedish regulatory authority
(MPA) for dutasteride, a new treatment for benign
prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The MPA have approved an
indication for its use in the treatment of moderate to
severe symptoms of BPH and for the prevention of acute
urinary retention (AUR) and surgery in patients with BPH.
They have agreed to act as the Reference Member State
for the Mutual Recognition procedure within Europe and
GSK plan to market the drug in all major European
markets once approvals are finalised.
Dutasteride is the first 5-alpha reductase inhibitor
(5ARI) that inhibits both the type 1 and 2 isoenzymes of
5AR. These enzymes are responsible for converting
testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in the
prostate and other tissues, and DHT has been proven to
play a key role in the development and progression of
BPH.

The American Academy Of Dermatology Launches Campaign To
Help 80 Million Men And Women In U.S. Experiencing Hair
Loss
NEW YORK, NY--(INTERNET WIRE)--Aug 1, 2002 -- The
American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) announced the
launch of the second annual Hair Loss Awareness Month, a
national education campaign developed to increase public
awareness about hair loss, the importance of early
detection, and available treatment options. The program
aims to increase the dialogue between patients and
dermatologists and identify effective hair loss
treatments early.
"Many who are experiencing hereditary hair loss don't
want to admit it, are afraid to talk openly about it and
some even try to hide it," said dermatologist Zoe
Draelos, M.D., clinical associate professor, Department
of Dermatology, Wake Forest University School of
Medicine, Winston-Salem, NC. "When many people confront
hair loss and treat it early, treatment is more
effective. It is important for patients to realize all
there is to gain by addressing hair loss sooner rather
than later."

Wella Vivality recognises that different types of hair
have different needs. So with Wella Vivality, normal
hair requires only a shampoo and conditioner to bring
out a healthy-looking shine. Dry/damaged hair, on the
other hand, not only needs shampoo and conditioner but
also a range of intensive treatments to help restore
manageability and softness.

Getting Over the Hurdle: Helping Men Talk About Hair
Loss
It's often hard for men to acknowledge they are
losing their hair, and it can take years before they
look into treatment options. But hair loss treatment is
most effective when started early, so it's important for
men to speak up if they are worried about hair loss.
Tune in as patient advocate Spencer Kobren talks about
the decisions and challenges facing men who are balding.
Also on the program, three men share their experience
with hairloss, and the treatment options--from
medications to surgery--that helped them.
