It’s Friday again, so let’s get on with another Q & A round up. This time, let’s focus on transplant surgery…
Why does a hair transplant work?
Just wanted to know if there was a system you use for demonstrating to a patient what the result of your work will look like when it is completed?
How important […]
Seems balding athletes don’t read each other’s press. You’d think everyone would be aware of finasteride and it’s complications from Zach Lund’s Olympic ban. Or perhaps not…
Australian international soccer player Stan Lazaridis recently tested positive for finasteride. Of course he claims to be using it to regrow hair. Of course he also forgot to get […]
Set your VCRs (or for those of you already in the 21st century “TiVos”), because NBC’s Today show will be discussing among other things the new laser comb in a segment on baldness.
Here’s the promotional teaser:
Is There A Cure For Baldness?
Baldness… some men embrace it… others, well… they try to hide it. Men try lotions […]
Slow week here as a deadlines loom at the day job. Nevertheless, I have been stricken with a moment of inspiration… I think.
Time to try out a new feature here at Baldiness, a round up of Hair Replacement Q & A from around the web. Hair Transplant Blog and Balding Blog are steady sources of […]
And the lines between hard science and social science continue to blur. “Focusing on the boundary between psychiatry and dermatology, psychodermatologists (or “skin shrinks”) care for the skin and the soul, dovetailing traditional treatments like antibiotics or topical medications with alternative methods such as relaxation, biofeedback, self-hypnosis or psychotherapy.”
Seems we’re just beginning to understand the […]
The “HairMax LaserComb” Coming to a Walgreen’s near you!
I’m just guessing about the retail outlet. I’m not, however, making up the bit about the laser comb. The US Food and Drug Administration recently approved the “HairMax LaserComb,” manufactured by Lexington International LLC. “Laser hair therapy is the talk of the hair restoration industry today,” said […]
Thursday, it seems hair loss - well, mostly hair maintenance - made the cut on NBC’s Today Show. Nutritionist Joy Bauer was on to chat with Meredith Vieira. Here’s the bit most relevant to the bald:
Diet didn’t cause hair loss, couldn’t prevent hair loss, and can’t reverse hair loss.
That’s the bottom line when it comes […]
Earlier this month I did a little speed linking about a growing awareness in the cosmetic/beauty industry for options that support the fragile self-confidence of some who have lost their hair. I linked to a trio of articles, one of which introduced Jaudon Sunde, a medical tattoo artist who works with chemotherapy patients to augment […]
So I see this news item about the DermHair Clinic that touts a “new technique” for dealing with hair loss. I almost skip over it, because I’m getting a bit numb to the miracle breakthroughs designed to part individuals from their money with ever increasing creativity. (The cynicism isn’t new, it’s always been there.) But […]
Domo Arigato, Mr. Hair Roboto
This could be something straight from the pages of a sci-fi novel. Intercytex recently received $3.5 million to develop a robotically enhanced hair replacement therapy.
Seriously.
$3.5 million for hair robots.
This sounds like the next stage of development in the stem cell process I mentioned back in April. From what I can gather, […]
