I have a large number of tiny hairs sprouting and I can feel stubble over most of my scalp when I rub my fingers lightly over it. The redness on my scalp is not noticeable to the naked eye, and from a short distance it looks as if I have a light rash on my legs.

Drugs: Propecia’s Side Effects Less Common Than Originally Expected. In a July 2004 article in Arch Dermatol, over 180 test subjects participated in a study designed to evaluate variations in sexual and erectile function in patients taking 1 mg of finasteride for androgenetic alopecia.

The sexual function of all patients remained stable during treatment with 1 mg of finasteride.”

All Natural & Supplements: Protandim to be Released Feb 2005 ! If you believe that anti-oxidants can help fight hairloss, you may want to look into the Feb 2005 release of Protandim. According to the distributor, this product has been demonstrated to decrease oxidation by as much as 60% in humans in just the first 30 days of intake. Protandim is not an antioxidant. It works by inducing the body to produce more of its own natural antioxidant enzymes, eg: Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase (CAT) and Glutathione Peroxidase (GPX) etc. to fight oxidation. Protandim allows these enzymes to be produced within the cells where oxidative stress actually occurs. This is in contrast to traditional antioxidant supplements which have to pass significant digestive and absorption barriers.

All Natural & Supplements: Beta-sitosterol Now The Most Popular Supplement in the Forum. Lately many in the All Natural & Supplements forum have added Beta-sitosterol to their regimen. Some even reported good results from it. Here’s a brief description about this supplement: “Beta-sitosterol is the active ingredient in saw palmetto berries, which have been used for centuries to treat patients with prostate and urinary problems. The active ingredient in saw palmetto as well as other herbal remedies such as pygeum, stinging nettle, and pumpkin seeds is beta-sitosterol. One capsule usually contains 300mg of beta-sitosterol. You would have to eat 2 lbs. of saw palmetto to get the same amount of beta-sitosterol one 300mg capsule. This is 3000 times more potent than saw palmetto.”. Some recent comments from people who reported good results with this supplement. Click here for more info.

Topical: Shiseido To Introduce New Product Containing ADENOSINE. Leading Japanese cosmetic manufacturer Shiseido announced that it has discovered a hair-growth property called adenosine, one of the in vivo substances that exist in the human body. According to Shiseido, studies have shown that adenosine directly affects hair papillae, a key in hair production; consequently, the output of FGF-7, a hair-growth factor, is increased. The product has received approval as an active ingredient for medicated cosmetics from the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare. Launch date: March 2005.

Topical: Adenosine Responsible for Minoxidil’s Effectiveness as a Hairloss Treatment. Recent studies indicate that the “effect of minoxidil is mediated by adenosine, which triggers intracellular signal transduction via both adenosine A1 and A2 receptors, and that the expression of sulfonylurea receptor 2B in dermal papilla cells might play a role in the production of adenosine.”

Topical: Should Coal Tar Products Carry Cancer Warnings? Many of us use shampoos formulated with coal tar to treat dandruff and certain scalp inflammatory conditions. There are discussions whether topical treatments containing coal tar are dangerous. There are in fact studies which show that coal tar can cause cancer if applied topically. For example, a study conducted by University Medical Center Nijmegen, The Netherlands suggested that “because of the potential carcinogenicity of coal tar, as clearly demonstrated both in animal studies and from occupational exposure, careful consideration should be given to the use of coal tar preparations in dermatological practice.”

This is a good introduction to terms you hear in the forum quite often, eg: (NF)kappa-B, TGF-B and A etc.

Education: Hair Length & Hair Diameter. Courtesy of TAMGOHL “On a normal head of hair, hairs achieve their maximum diameter when they are at approximately 25% of their eventual length. After they hit their peak thickness, hair shaft diameters decline little by little over the remaining length of the growth phase. Thus, for the vast majority of the growth phase, hairs are actually getting thinner. Also, hair shaft diameter correlates with hair length -- i.e., longer hair is thicker hair.”

Education: Studies Examining the Genetics of Male Pattern Baldness. A study by Wright State University School of Medicine conducted a study to examine the genetics of male pattern baldness. The purpose of the current study was to explore the relationship between family history and expression of AGA in a sample of men from the general community. The study concluded that “the probability of male pattern hair loss is dependent on family history and age. Hair loss in a man's father also appears to play an important role in increasing a man's risk of hair loss, either in conjunction with a history of hair loss in the mother or hair loss in the maternal grandfather.”

Hair Multiplication: Surprising report on human hair cloning comes from China. “Previously unknown group of Dr. Zheng Men from china independently from the more proclaimed scientists and hair transplantation clinics from US and Europe conducted human hair cloning experiments. They used a technique of combining and transplanting various cell types of the hair follicle from humans to induce new hair growth.

Hair Transplant - Dr. Cole: Repair Case – Strip Repair Case, Dr. Cole’s Patient. This is a class 6 repair case. The patient used to wear a hair piece. He had one session of mini-grafts placed into holes in 2003. He could tell immediately that this procedure would yield an unnatural, pluggy result so he rapidly sought a repair solution.

Dr. Cole performed 3000 grafts from the front to the back. In a single procedure he has obtained excellent coverage in the front. The rear of the scalp needs one more session (the back or crown almost always requires 2 to 3 times as much work to achieve the same degree of coverage). Most of the grafts were dense packed into the front.

Dr. Cole and his staff also needed to deal with big plugs and the results are showing a softer natural look. The patient can live a normal life without the hard maintenance of a hair piece and he is very excited about his 2nd procedure.

Nov 29 - Dec 05, 2004
Hair Transplant - Dr. Arvind: Hyper-acute Angle Placement for Hairline Restoration. For some patients with extensive thinning, eg: a norwood 5 or 6, Dr.Arvind advocates the formation of recipient sites at a much more acute angle for such patients. Instead of having the hair growing at 30 degrees to the scalp, they almost lie flat, i.e.,15-20 degrees). According to Dr. Arvind Poswal, the rationale for such an acute angulation in hairline placement is that it makes the hair almost lie on the scalp leading to a greater degree of coverage than would be possible if the hair were, comparatively speaking, standing up. Dr. Arvind Poswal thinks that hyperacute angulation is especially helpful in those with extensive hairloss and a limited donor supply.

Hair Transplant - Dr. Woods: The Woods Technique: Minimally Invasive from Start to Finish. Invented and perfected by Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell, The Woods Technique created unprecedented upheavals in the surgical hair restoration industry because for the first time in decades, hair transplant can be done non invasively without cutting through the donor site using a scalpel.

True to the "Do No Harm" principle that is defined in the world's first and only Patient Rights Declaration, Dr. Woods and Dr. Campbell practice their "minimally invasive" hair transplant technique to the fullest: from the time the donor follicle is extracted to the point when the follicle is transplanted into the recipient site.

HairSite is proud to present world’s exclusive footage showing how the micro slits are created in the patient's recipient site using a 21 gauge needle under The Woods Technique. See for yourself that this is a truly "MINIMALLY INVASIVE" procedure.

Topicals: Is liposomes/nanosomes a superior and cost effective vehicle for delivering minoxidil ?

Bryan raised an interesting issue as to whether liposomes/nanosomes are uniquely able to do anything that ordinary vehicles can't do, when simply used in larger amounts and/or concentrations.
