Hair Demand works to control the enzymatic pathway that causes hair loss. It reduces inflammation of the scalp, which can prevent hair to regrow. It also rebuilds the tissues that anchors the hair. It does it with a protein that mimics nature in reconstituting the collagen and other supporting material in and around the hair follicle. This revolutionary hair product which contains DPF with Capixyl™ allows your hair to regrow fast, strong, and healthy.

Capixyl™ is an innovative and unique complex designed to prevent and stop the hair loss process and stimulate hair growth. Is a biomimetic peptide (acetyl tetrapeptide-3) combined with a red clover extract rich in Biochanin A. Efficacy is based on the combined and synergistic action of its two ingredients.

Rexona (Sure in the UK) and Clear, the deodorant and anti-dandruff brands owned by Unilever, are to sponsor British Formula 1 team Lotus in a multi-year deal.

The sponsorship uses the Rexona global brand identity as the Sure brand name is only used in the UK.

The Rexona and Clear brand logos will appear on the Lotus F1 Team's overalls and cars.

A marketing campaign to raise awareness of the sponsorships is currently in development and is expected to launch in time for this year's first F1 race in Australia, on 18 March.

The deal was brokered by sports marketing activation agency JMI.

Francois Renard, global brand vice-president for Clear, said the partnership will provide the brand's consumers with "the chance to see and live the winning impact that a high-efficacy, high-precision, high-performance brand like Clear Men" can offer them.

Pablo Gazzera, global brand vice-president for Rexona, believes the men's brand has a "perfect fit" with F1.

He said: "We tap into our consumers' passions – cars, sports, extreme adventure – in order to engage with them. The thrill of speed and fierce competition of Formula 1 racing falls right at the heart of what our consumers are passionate about."

Two men walk into a pharmacy, one is bald and the other is not. They're caught on surveillance cameras boosting some merchandise — and it seems the goods they lifted are a matter of manly pride. Cops are searching for what we're dubbing the Long Island Rogaine Thieves.

NBC New York says the twosome entered a CVS on Long Island on Dec. 17. They scooped up three boxes of Rogaine, a hair loss product for men (we know you've seen the commercials) and placed them into a gift bag. Then they simply sauntered out with their loot, without stopping to pay at the register. That move is called "shoplifting."

While police are definitely stressing the bald man thing in their search for the thieves and showing his picture in news bulletins, it's probably more likely the non-bald man will get some benefit out of the Rogaine.

RepliCel Life Sciences, Inc. (REPCF) recently provided an update on its first-in-man clinical trial, TS001-2009, for a potentially revolutionary new treatment for hair loss in men and women. The highly anticipated results from the initial six-month post injection follow-up period are nearly collected.

Seventeen of the 19 subjects have had their six-month follow-up visit. During these visits, they had their overall health evaluated, including subjective and objective assessments of the verum and placebo injection sites. Digital pictures were also taken of the scalp injection sites. The remaining two patients will complete their six-month follow-ups by the end of March, while four patients should finish their 12-month follow-ups by that same time.

The TS001-2009 study team will be doing thorough reviews of the data available throughout the months of March and April this year. When completed, this will lead to the study being “un-blinded,” so that the analysis team can analyze the collected data. The patients will also continue to be monitored through 2013 for any changes in their overall health.

There are many new technologies available for hair transplant surgeons today. But with so many technologies available and so many hair transplant surgeons claiming they have the best technology, how can one know which one is the best? The new chairman of the American Society of Hair Restoration Surgery (ASHRS), Dr. Marco Barusco, gives his opinion on some of the latest and upcoming technological advances in this field.

HypoThermosol™Perhaps some of the most important technological advances are the ones dealing with tissue preservation. According to Dr. Barusco, once the donor hair is taken from the back of the head the clock starts ticking. "The quicker we re-attach the hair to the scalp the better the chance it will survive", Dr. Barusco said. Traditionally, surgeons have used regular saline solution to preserve the tissue, but HypoThermosol™ has been showing to have the best composition. It is easy to work with and preliminary observations suggest that it improves hair survival and overall results.

ACell™ACell™ is used for wound healing and hair growth. It is rich in growth factors and collagen. This technology significantly benefits the patient but given its high cost very few surgeons use this material. When a doctor uses ACell™ the donor area of the scalp heals better, leaving a smaller and thinner scar, and the transplants grow better.

Robotic SurgeryAlthough much buzz has been given to robotic hair transplant surgery, Dr. Barusco does not see it as a revolution but rather as another tool. The idea behind the robotic surgery is that a robot harvests hair automatically from the patient's donor area. The doctor and the team still need to perform the rest of the procedure.

BACKGROUND: Nonscarring alopecia differs from scarring alopecia on pathologic examination by the preservation of follicular units and lack of follicular dropout.

However, long-standing cases of active nonscarring hair loss can show follicular dropout on pathologic examination and can be difficult to interpret.

OBSERVATIONS: We describe a patient with nonscarring alopecia that was misdiagnosed as scarring alopecia due to difficulty in distinguishing between scarred tracts (follicular dropout) and long-persisting fibrovascular streamers.

Polarized light microscopy permits us to distinguish follicular scars from fibrous streamers because the fibrous streamers are birefringent negative for collagen.

The main advantages of polarized microscopy are that it is fast and cost free and can screen all sections within minutes; it is also easy to interpret for beginners because there is a built-in control of birefringent-positive dermal collagen.

Vin Diesel has embraced his baldness. And it's doubtful Michael Stipe spends much time browsing for toupees. But not all of the 40 million American men with follicularly challenged scalps are going quietly into that bald night. They're raging — with Rogaine, among other things.

Men who want to hang on to their hair have many options, including medications and surgical transplants, says Dr. Marc Avram, hair transplant surgeon and clinical professor of dermatology at Weill-Cornell Medical College in New York City. The near future may even bring treatments that can end baldness forever — at least for people willing to pay the price.

The war against baldness is already expensive. Just one hair transplant operation can cost more than $10,000, or about $5 per transplanted hair. The International Society of Hair Restoration reports that surgeons performed more than 95,000 hair transplants in 2010. Do the math — hairlines are a gold mine. In fact, the ISHR estimates that men and women spend more than $1.8 billion each year on hair loss treatments of all sorts.

Rogaine and Propecia — medications that are applied directly to the scalp — are still the most popular choices for men who want to slow or reverse hair loss. They have both been around for well over a decade, but no other hair-loss drugs have come along to take their place. According to Avram, they work best on men who have just started to notice thinning hair. They won't restore hair to a bald head, he says, but they can keep hair from falling out and can make remaining hair look fuller and thicker. In his practice, he often recommends Rogaine foam (5% minoxidil) once daily. He says the foam — available over the counter — helps about 80% of all users, if they're patient enough to stick with the product for the six to eight months it takes to notice results.

Men who want to cover up bald spots have two options: A toupee or a hair transplant. (And hats, but those don't fool anyone.) Moving hair from one part of the head to another is no simple procedure. "It's a full-blown surgery," says Dr. Rashid Rashid, a dermatologist and hair transplant surgeon with the University of Texas in Houston and the MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Celebrities such as Louis Walsh, James Nesbitt and Wayne Rooney have all gone public about their hair transplants, but the truth is that thousands of ordinary men receive hair transplant surgery every year, usually without anyone ever knowing.

Hair Restoration Blackrock (HRBR), the hair transplant clinic which treated Louis Walsh and James Nesbitt, has just completed some interesting analysis of their 2011 patients. Last year HRBR saw in excess of 2000 regular men, as well as a few well known faces.

“Hair loss is a great leveller. While it may be celebrities who make the headlines, our average patients are men of all ages and from all walks of life. There is no doubt that when celebrities like Wayne Rooney and Louis Walsh go public, it helps de-stigmatise hair restoration surgery, which is something we greatly welcome.

As well as people from the entertainment industry and professionals, here at HRBR in both our London and Dublin clinics, we see a wide variety of men, which includes everyone from politicians and plumbers to postmen”. Hair loss can greatly affect a man’s self esteem and self image, be he in front of the camera or in front of a client, colleague, or partner.” said Dr. Maurice Collins, Medical Director and Founder of HRBR.

Commenting further Dr Collins said “It doesn’t surprise me at all to see business people ahead of actors and musicians from our 2011 patient list. Nor I am surprised to see students in the list. Students are the young professionals of tomorrow, this generation is more conscious than ever of the need to look one’s best and to look young”.
