Health: Medicine on Crusade against Baldness

Society | March 25, 2005, Friday // 00:00

The only medical treatment that can successfully regrow hair is now backed by solid scientific evidence. According to Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas (R), the use of a proprietary combination of stable and non-irritating tretinoin (Retin-A(R)) and minoxidil to treat and reverse hair loss.

In two studies released in a month, a team of scientists from the University of Pennsylvania found that a class of genes controls what the daughter cells of stem cells become, while preventing them from prematurely becoming new organelles.

A second study, released in the April 2004 edition of Nature Biotechnology and titled "Capturing and profiling adult follicle stem cells," showed that stem cells found in the hair follicles of mice could be manipulated through genetic therapy to grow new hair follicles and even skin.

The studies' use of tretinoin to stimulate stem cells and help encourage them to replace hair follicles explains why Dr. Lewenberg's Formulas regrow lost hair. It seems stem cells are the key to reversing male and female pattern baldness and other hair-loss conditions.
