 Hair loss news and views

May 2002 

In this issue

Greetings!

Welcome to the May issue.

Once again I have to say no new information about Dutasteride.

Laser Comb 

The First Personal Laser for Hair Loss With the HairMax LaserComb you can finally enjoy the hair retention and growth of cold beam, low level laser treatment at home. The LaserComb is a miniaturized, but equally effective version of professional Laser units costing up to $50,000. Using the LaserComb for 5 minutes at a time just twice a week, you can see results that could only be achieved for thousands of dollars in expensive medical clinics. The HairMax LaserComb will be the best investment you can make for a lifetime of fuller, thicker, healthier looking hair.

How the Hairmax LaserComb Works Simply pass the LaserComb through your hair for five minutes just twice a week. Every time you use it, the LaserComb sends nourishing light into your hair follicles to energize them and improve circulation. The cold beam laser stimulates the tissues of the scalp, and the red corpuscles that deliver life giving oxygen and nutrients to the hair bulb. And a healthier scalp is far more likely to grow more hair. You can use the HairMax LaserComb by itself or along with other treatments. Over time, hair follicles can weaken and hair growth can deteriorate. So act now to energize your hair.

Alopecia areata genetic study

Alopecia areata genetic study, recruitment call for Europe and Scandinavia based volunteers

A European and Scandinavian consortium of 25 clinics in 12 countries are planning a large scale study to define general alopecia areata susceptibility and resistance genes in families of alopecia areata affected individuals.

Alopecia areata probably involves a complex interaction between several susceptibility and resistance genes plus alopecia areata activating and inhibiting environmental factors. Several research studies are underway in the USA and Europe to examine both genetic and environmental modification of alopecia areata involving human volunteers and laboratory models.

This genetic study will involve a comprehensive, genome-wide screen of DNA isolated from blood samples provided by donors. Statistical analysis of the results will provide information on areas of the human genome where genes involved in AA are located. With this information, and using data from the recently completed human genome mapping project, candidate genes can later be defined and examined in detail to evaluate how they may be involved in alopecia areata.

Free Sample - Anti Dandruff Shampoo

For this months free sample follow the link below to our links page and click on Oilatum free sample.

Dandruff, the most common scaling scalp condition, is simply a build up of dead skin cells on the scalp. Skin cells are being shed from our scalps all the time, but are usually shed as very fine particles which we don't even notice. Dandruff sufferers produce skin cells on the scalp more quickly than normal, and because more of them are being produced, they clump together to form visible white flakes. Dandruff is also linked with the presence of higher than normal levels of a natural yeast called 'malassezia furfur'. We all have small quantities of this on our scalp with no ill effect, but in dandruff sufferers the yeast thrives on the clumped skin cells, making the condition even worse.

What are the symptoms of dandruff?

The excess skin cells fall off the scalp into the hair as white flakes. They may then fall out of the hair on to the shoulders. For many, one of the worst symptoms of dandruff is intense itching. This is thought to be caused by increased levels of malassezia furfur which, in turn, leads to inflammation and itch on the scalp.

Hair today - in a vault tomorrow

Bizarre hair story of the year !

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Scared of losing your hair? Well why not lock up those locks -- in a temperature- controlled underground vault, protected from fires, floods and earthquakes (news - web sites)? Why not, indeed!

A San Francisco-based start-up, Hairogenics, on Monday Apri l29 officially launched a new subterranean hair storage service, adding a new strand to mankind's endless search for a safer, fuller head of hair. Hairogenics chief executive Michael Blaylock said his company would preserve hair samples in its special underground vault, keeping it fresh until science can devise a way to "clone" hair from DNA.

"Ask five different scientists when simple cell repair products will be available to the public and you'll get five different answers," Blaylock said. "But it is going to happen, it is a question of time." In the meantime, Hairogenics promises to keep your hair safe and secure in its vault underneath a Portland, Oregon hair salon -- vacuum-sealed in waterproof packages and stored in a darkened, temperature- controlled environment to protect it from light and moisture.
