Lexington International, LLC is pleased to announce that it
has successfully completed 2 clinical studies of the HairMax
LaserComb proving the efficacy and safety of 3 new devices for the
treatment of androgenetic alopecia (hereditary hair loss). The
analysis showed that 95.4% of participants using the HairMax
LaserComb experienced hair growth. Furthermore, the average
increases in hair count for participants in the HairMax LaserComb
group was 20.4 hairs per centimeter squared, which is considered
medically and scientifically significant. None of the participants
in the studies experienced any serious side effects. Based in part
on submission of clinical results, the FDA Granted Class II
Clearance 510(k) K103368 of these medical devices for sale in the
USA for the 'Treatment of Hair Loss and Promotion of Hair Growth'
in males. The two double-blind, device-controlled multi-center
studies were conducted by Zoe Draelos, MD, David Goldberg, MD,
Michael Jarrett, MD, and Abe Mercadis, MD, under GCP (Good Clinical
Practice) guidelines and IRB (Institutional Review Board) approval.
These clinical trials are posted on www.clinicaltrials.gov.
Submission of these data was a major component of the FDA filing
and was a key factor in the agency's decision to clear the HairMax
LaserComb. The FDA 510(k) Clearance further validates the HairMax
as a non-drug option for treating hereditary hair loss in
males.

Cure for Royal Baldness resurfaces a little too late for Prince William
It seems an especially cruel fate that while Kate Middleton's
luscious locks get their very own, glowing column inches all over
the globe, Prince William's hairline is receding quicker than you
can say 'Westminster Abbey'. A baldness cure might have come a bit
late for Wills - we doubt even coating his head in Rogaine every
hour between now and 11am next Friday would give him a full head of
hair. But there's good news for the couple's offspring. In case
Kate Middleton's genes skip a generation or two, all is not lost. A
cure of Royal baldness has just resurfaced - dating back to 1910.

Prince William Could Lose His Crown
Hair loss may be a thing of the past for a certain heir to
the throne and commoners alike thanks to a vaccination that can
help prevent and in some cases reverse hair loss. Gary Hitzig,
M.D., a leading hair restoration specialist and pioneer of the
ACell / platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, has been invited to
instruct a group of U.K. doctors and medical professionals at The
Private Clinic in May on this breakthrough in hair restoration
therapy. Dr. Hitzig's peers, as well as the medical community at
large, are following his hair restoration therapy and consistent
results in both men and women experiencing genetic and other forms
of hair loss. ACell has been available only in the U.S. and has
five FDA allowances, but the British Medical Board recently
approved the use and availability of ACell in the U.K. and Europe
through Dr. Hitzig. The Private Clinic, the largest U.K. cosmetic
practice, will be the first medical practice outside the U.S. to be
trained in the use of ACell-PRP injections. MatriStem MicroMatrix,

Cell scientists tackle balding one hair at a time
It might not be the most important breakthrough in stem cell
research, but it could be the technology's crowning glory: cloning
hair follicles to overcome baldness. In what might become the most
effective permanent treatment for the condition, several research
teams around the world have successfully cloned human hair
follicles - though only in limited amounts. Human trials are yet to
be held, but the cloned follicles have been successfully implanted
into the soles of the feet of mice, giving hair-loss sufferers hope
that a remedy is within reach. The challenge for scientists at the
University of Melbourne and St Vincent's Hospital, and for research
teams at Berlin Technical University and British company
Intercytex, is to increase the number of follicles that can be
cloned from a single hair taken from a patient's scalp. At the
moment, one hair produces only one or two clones. ''We've got to
find a way of increasing the yield,'' said Professor Rod Sinclair,
head of the research team at St Vincent's. ''We've got to find a
way of multiplying one hair extracted into 1000 hairswhat commonly
happens in the expansion process is that they lose their ability to
induce new hair follicles.''

National Media Turns to Dr. Alan Bauman for New Hair Loss Therapies
How early you spot your thinning hair determines how much
hair you save. If you wait until the hair loss is visible to the
naked eye, you're too late 50 percent is already gone. National
hair restoration expert Alan J. Bauman, M.D., founder and medical
director of Bauman Medical Group in Boca Raton, was featured last
week on ABCs Good Morning America, FOX News, and The New York Times
discussing the benefits of new procedures and treatment options.
Today, thanks to new technology and medical advancements, hair loss
is no longer inevitable its optional. Latisse for Hair Loss:
Latisse (Bimatoprost) is already FDA approved to grow longer
eyelashes. Allergan in currently in phase I clinical trials to use
it on male and female pattern hair loss as well. If it succeeds, it
will be only the second topical treatment to receive FDA approval
for hair loss (the other is Minoxidil/Rogaine). Dr. Bauman is
already prescribing Latisse for off-label use on the scalp in some
patients and seeing positive results. Both the New York Times and

RepliCel Update on First-In-Human Clinical Trial
RepliCel Life Sciences is pleased to provide an update on its
first-in-human clinical trial TS001-2009. As of today, all 20
subjects have been enrolled in the study and have provided biopsy
samples for processing using the proprietary RepliCel? technology.
Furthermore, the first injection of hair follicle cells prepared
using RepliCel? technology was completed on March 10, 2011. The
final injections of hair follicle cells are anticipated to take
place before the end of July 2011. The first injection of hair
follicle cells represented the beginning of the next stage of the
TS001-2009 study. In this stage, the post-injection follow-up
period, subjects return to the study centre to have their health
closely monitored to ensure that there have been no adverse effects
associated with receiving the injections and to determine the hair
growth stimulating efficacy of the hair follicle cell injections.
All subjects are expected to complete their six-month follow-up
visit by the end of January 2012. Once the final patient has
completed their six-month follow-up visit, an interim analysis of
all collected data will be performed to assess the primary outcome
measure of the TS001-2009 study. The analysis will involve
assessment of the local (at treatment sites) safety profile of
autologous hair follicle cells compared to placebo as defined by
adverse events (AEs) with respect to their causality, incidence,
severity and seriousness.

Summer Hair Top Tips and Treatments
Most problems seen by trichologists involve either excessive
loss of hair, thinning hair, patches of baldness, hair breakage,
scaling problems or excessive oiliness and itching of the scalp.
Conditions range from psoriasis, hair loss, alopecia and baldness.
As a hairdresser as well as a professional trichologist, Iain
Sallis asks: Summer is coming, so how do we get the best out of our
hair? Here Iain looks at the tips and treatments you can take to
make sure youve the most luscious locks on the beach and at home
this summer. Summer months are usually wonderful for peoples skin
(apart from if you burn) and general well being, but precautions
need to be taken to ensure you dont damage your hair. Strong sun
light equals strong UV radiation (the light waves from the
sun...which can affect us even on cloudy days) and UV light is
something that causes the chemicals in our hair to oxidise. Its
this oxidisation process which slowly bleaches our hair and ruins
many a good colour as well as takes the condition out of it...this
as well as jumping in pools of chlorinated water, the salt from the
sea and of course lots of ladies feel summery and so want to go
lighter, this all takes the toll on the hair so we have to give it
some summer TLC!

Dr Larry Shapiro Discovers Faster Regrowth for Hair Transplants
South Florida hair transplant doctor Larry Shapiro presented
a paper demonstrating how a nutritional supplement containing whey
protein concentrate and other nutrients can make transplanted hair
grow in more quickly, giving hair transplant patients faster
results. At "The Next Big Thing: Hair Research and Advanced Live
Surgery Workshop" in Istanbul, Turkey on May 14, hair transplant
doctors heard about this breakthrough research for the first time.
This new research is based on the theory that increased anabolic
metabolism can affect regeneration of the hair follicle. A hair
transplant involves removing healthy hair follicles and placing
them in balding areas of the scalp. The presentation examined how
hair loss can be connected to lifestyle products, specifically
anabolics that elevate testosterone and DHT. These products include
growth hormones, steroids, weight gainers, creatine, and whey
protein isolate. Research on how whey protein isolate could
possibly contribute to hair loss was presented. Whey protein
isolate is the most common source of protein in workout products.
Dr. L. Shapiro's goal was to create a workout supplement that does
not cause hair loss. He researched whey protein production and
questioned whether processing whey protein concentrate into whey
protein isolate could increase testosterone when ingested.
Increased testosterone might contribute to hair loss in men who
have the gene for male pattern balding.

Wayne Rooney goes for a hi-tech baldness cure
Baldy Wayne Rooney is having secret treatment to grow his
hair back, The Sun can reveal. The Man United and England star, 25,
was seen this week leaving a clinic off London's famous Harley
Street, where hi-tech eight-hour sessions for VIP clients cost
thousands. A source said: "Wayne booked in for a two-day treatment.
He'll look five years younger." Rooney, suspended for today's
international against Switzerland, had his head covered with a
baseball cap AND a hoodie despite the heat as he left Queen Anne
Street Medical Centre in Central London on Thursday. He refused to
comment as he made a hurried exit and climbed into a
chauffeur-driven motor. The centre is home to the Harley Street
Hair Clinic. The source added last night: "Wayne has been thinking
about treatment for some time. He asked to meet a model who had the
procedure and was so impressed he booked in for a two-day
treatment. Doctors have told him to expect significant
improvement."

Researchers discover genetic mutation boosting hair growth
A team of U.S. and Chinese researchers have discovered a
chromosomal mutation responsible for a very rare condition in which
people grow excess hair all over their bodies. The finding
ultimately will lead to new treatments for this and less severe
forms of excessive hair growth as well as baldness, said
researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of
Southern California (USC). The researchers made the discovery in
cooperation with their counterparts at Peking Union Medical
College. Study findings were published in the June issue of the
American Journal of Human Genetics. The initial discovery of the
mutation came from a lab at the Peking Union Medical College, which
examined the condition, known congenital hypertrichosis syndrome
(CGH), in a Chinese family. Males with this disorder have hair
covering their entire face including their eyelids and their upper
body, while females have thick patches of hair on their bodies.
Then researchers confirmed the finding in a Mexican family that

Does Your Aesthetician Hold the Key to Healthy Hair?
Millions of Americans battle some form of hair loss, spending
upwards of $3.5 million annually on treatment solutions that
oftentimes are ineffective. Though hair loss is commonly due to
genetics, it can also stem from unhealthy or aged scalp conditions.
Research recently conducted by Rhonda Allison, founder and CEO of
Rhonda Allison Cosmeceuticals, found many of the cosmeceutical
ingredients used to maintain skin health, produce the same
rejuvenating benefits when applied to the scalp and hair. The scalp
ages much like the rest of the body's skin. It loses tone and
elasticity, and cell production declines. As the scalp ages, the
hair weakens. It is part of the lifecycle of the hair follicle, but
that lifespan can be extended when the same methods and ingredients
for skin care are applied to the scalp. "Through research, we now
know that many of the ingredients traditionally used in aesthetic
treatments also have the power to inhibit the progression of hair
damage and loss," Allison said. "Using cosmeceutical-grade
peptides, amino acids, antioxidants, and organic stem cell
technology we can stimulate the mitochondria, support keratin,
fight free radicals, and maintain a healthy hair cycle." In healthy
conditions hair strands go through three stagesthe anagen (active
growth) phase, catagen (transition/end of active growth) stage, and
the telogen (resting) phase. The hair falls out and is usually
replaced by new hair. The cycle continues like clockwork, but as
the scalp ages or is affected by a disorder or disease, the cycle
can be disrupted.

New Research Provides Clues on Why Hair Turns Gray
A new study by researchers at NYU Langone Medical Center has
shown that, for the first time, Wnt signaling, already known to
control many biological processes, between hair follicles and
melanocyte stem cells can dictate hair pigmentation. The study was
published in the June 11, 2011 issue of the journal Cell. The
research was led by Mayumi Ito, PhD, assistant professor in the
Ronald O. Pereleman Department of Dermatology at NYU Langone. We
have known for decades that hair follicle stem cells and
pigment-producing melanocycte cells collaborate to produce colored
hair, but the underlying reasons were unknown, said Dr. Ito. We
discovered Wnt signaling is essential for coordinated actions of
these two stem cell lineages and critical for hair pigmentation.
The study suggests the manipulation of Wnt signaling may be a novel
strategy for targeting pigmentation such as graying hair. The
research study also illustrates a model for tissue regeneration.
The human body has many types of stem cells that have the potential
to regenerate other organs, said Dr. Ito. The methods behind
communication between stem cells of hair and color during hair
replacement may give us important clues to regenerate complex
organs containing many different types of cells.

Perfect diet to prevent hair loss
Men are as touchy about hair as women are about their
backsides. It's a sensitive subject, one that raises many concerns
and results in paranoid treatments and extreme measures. However,
until the problem begins, there is little thought put into
nourishing hair other than the lather and rinse routine. Before you
start losing sleep over hair loss and book appointments with
trichologists, take a closer look at what you're eating. Chances
are that even slight modifications made to what you eat by
incorporating ingredients that aid hair growth and health will have
a drastic impact. While genes and lifestyle will always have the
upper hand, here's what you could eat to help curb that receding
hairline. Carrots It's not just the eyes, Vitamin A-rich carrots
provide excellent nourishment for the scalp. A healthy scalp
ensures shiny, well-conditioned hair that is strengthened and
moisturised. An overall balanced diet of lean proteins, fruits, and
vegetables, whole grains, legumes, fatty fish like the Indian
salmon and low-fat dairy are great boosters for healthy
hair.

Hair Restoration Using Body Hair
As technology has advanced, dealing with hair loss has become
much easier. Hair Restoration is no longer restricted to
prescription medication, hair plugs or the traditional linear
transplant. New options which are based off the Follicular Unit
Extraction (FUE) technique promise a natural looking hair
transplant with less visible scarring and now, donor hair may be
successfully transplanted from other parts of the body, not just
the head. According to Los Angeles hair restoration provider Dr.
Sanusi Umar, "Traditionally, hair transplants entail the transfer
of hair from the back and the sides of the head, where patients
typically dont experience hair loss. Until recently, a strip of
flesh was removed from the back and sides of the head which was

much easier. Hair Restoration is no longer restricted to
prescription medication, hair plugs or the traditional linear
transplant. New options which are based off the Follicular Unit
Extraction (FUE) technique promise a natural looking hair
transplant with less visible scarring and now, donor hair may be
successfully transplanted from other parts of the body, not just
the head. According to Los Angeles hair restoration provider Dr.
Sanusi Umar, "Traditionally, hair transplants entail the transfer
of hair from the back and the sides of the head, where patients
typically dont experience hair loss. Until recently, a strip of
flesh was removed from the back and sides of the head which was
then sewn up, leaving a scar from one side of the back of the head
to the other." With Dr. Umar's new technique, this scarring is no

Grey Hair Mens Most Feared Ageing Process
With the news that super star footballer Ryan Giggs is going
grey, Iain Sallis explores the truth behind one of mens most feared
aging processes. Grey hair: the facts Melanocytes are the cells in
a human body which gives us our colour (hair, eyes, and skin) and
so; are arguably to blame for more wars and upset in human history
than any other cell, it also gives the human body some of the most
noted signs of where we come from and how old we are? The ageing
hair follicle: Hair colour shows signs of age-related changes only
one of which is the well known reduction of melanocytes in hair.
There is a 10-20% reduction of pigment producing melanocytes for
every decade after 30 years of age (in Caucasian). Though its
gradual in the skin, it can be quite sudden in the hair
follicle.

The Haircare Multi laser Hair Brush continues to see growing
sales in both Australia and the United States. The technology has
been scientifically proven to help reduce and reverse hair loss,
the affordable solution is designed for both men and women.
Although there are myriad reasons for hair loss including stress,
medications and chemical deficiencies among others, the primary
cause is androgenetic alopecia. This condition is commonly known as
male pattern baldness, but hormonal changes, the pill and pregnancy
are more common reasons for hair loss in women. Since the 1960s
ongoing and improving research has shown that scalp stimulation can
have positive impact on hair loss. In the new millennium,
scientific research has found that handheld laser combs can
effectively enhance the results of hair loss therapy for millions

Celeb appeal sees hair transplants jump in UAE
Hair transplant clinics in Dubai say they have seen a surge
in demand following admissions from celebrities that they have paid
for surgery to cover their receding hairlines. The city has seen
increasing numbers of medical clinics and plastic surgeons offering
hair transplant procedures, with specialists flying into Dubai to
capitalise on demand. Industry experts suggest much of this is on
the back of celebrities such as footballer Wayne Rooney and British
actor James Nesbit admitting to undergoing the procedure. Anybody
who has influence on the general public who comes up with a
statement saying they have had the surgery does make a difference,
said Dr Shehab Beg of the Dubai Hair Clinic, who performs 15-20
surgeries a month in Pakistan and Dubai. Rooney in June confessed
to his 768,869 Twitter fans that he had a hair transplant, telling
followers: I was going bald at 25, why not?

Will Rogaine get advertising boost as Lady Gaga uses product for baldness?
Lady Gaga is going bald due to all the chemical dyes she has
used on her hair, which is all part of her flamboyant and creative
package. She is turning to the product Rogaine, which is often
promoted in TV commercials for arresting the baldness and promoting
new hair growth. just the mention that the worlds most recognized
pop diva is using this product, should be worth millions of
advertising for the Rogaine company. If Lady Gaga uses it, you can
bet that her millions of followers will keep Rogaine in mind if
ever they feel their hair is thinning. Lady Gaga just made Rogaine
cool and it is no longer for the middle-aged balding man with the
pot belly that is a stereotype for baldness. The latest short
haircut that Lady Gaga is sporting is what the singer is calling a
chemical haircut. She said in a recent interview that she needed to
cut her blonde hair short due to all the damage from dyes,

Hair transplant kick starts Wayne Rooney's game
Wayne Rooney is back in explosive form after trying to
resolve the stresses in his life. For one, the Manchester United
and England striker concluded his head was just not right. Alarmed
by his thinning thatch, Rooney risked ridicule in the off-season by
undergoing a $50,000 hair transplant. And the resultslike United's
this seasonare unequivocal, with those new follicles now covering
his scalp. I've spent more time in the mirror, Rooney quipped
Tuesday at the England team hotel. I'm sure some of you who are
going bald, it's a bit stressful. So I made a decision to get it
done. I thought, why not?

California Surgeon Leads Robotic Hair Restoration FDA Trial
Bay Area hair restoration surgeon, Sara Wasserbauer, M.D., is
leading a research study involving the recently FDA approved
robotic hair transplant technology. One of only two sites, Dr.
Wasserbauer is studying how effective the interactive image-guided
robotic system is at removing and implanting hair grafts on a
scalp. The Restoration Robotics ARTAS System is an interactive,
computer assisted technique utilizing image-guided robotics to
enhance the quality of hair follicle harvesting. Operated under the
direction of a physician, ARTAS has the potential to solve most of
the technical challenges inherent in the manual follicular unit
extraction (FUE) techniques. During the two-year study, Dr.
Wasserbauer has been collecting data on the effectiveness of the
ARTAS technology by itself and compared to manual hair
transplantation techniques. Entering the final stage of the
research, Dr. Wasserbauer will be examining the rate of hair growth
in patients nine months after having their ARTAS System hair
transplant. .

Static hair The science behind the frizz
Static electricity is a real cosmetic problem for many people
causing bad hair mornings and annoying frizz during the day. This
problem is the same thing that causes you to get a shock when you
touch a metal doorknob after walking across a polyester carpet. We
all know the phrase static hair but do you really know why your
hair acts like it does because of it? The science bit Your hair is
made up of atoms, which in turn are made up of electrons, protons
and neutrons. If the atom has the same amount of protons and
electrons, it is neutral. When electrons move from one atom to
another, though, the atom becomes an ion which means its either
positive or negatively charged. If you remember your physics what
happens when two of the same charges come together they repel!! And
so with your hair, each hair becomes positively charged because it
is loosing electrons and so each hair is repelling the
other!

Hair loss triggered by controllable factors like smoking, divorce
There are many factors that doctors say determine hair loss,
including age, genetics and bad nutrition. But new research shows
there's more controllable factors, like smoking, sun exposure and
even divorce. How much hair loss people experience is usually
determined by our genes. For instance, if your grandpa lost all of
his hair at midlife, you could face a similar story. But now,
doctors say we might have some control over hair loss. Researchers
at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in Cleveland, Ohio
studied 150 sets of twins at a twin festival in Twinsburg, Ohio.
Dr. Bahman Guyuron took photos of the identical twins and asked
them a long list of questions: did they smoke, have children,
etc.

Woman Swipes Stock Of Rogaine From CVS
The shelf was left bare at a CVS Pharmacy in Downers Grove,
police say, when a woman stole the stores entire stock of Rogaine
hair loss treatment earlier this week. It was the noise of boxes
falling that first tipped off a store clerk, police say. And then a
woman ran out and the anti-theft alarm went off. Workers found that
10 boxes of Rogaine worth $400 were missing from the shelf. Police
say store video shows the woman was in and out of the store in two
minutes.

Seinfeld star now wears a wig
Seinfeld star Jason Alexander has confessed the real reason
for his remarkable baldness reversal - he's wearing a wig. The
actor sparked rumours he'd undergone treatment to replenish his
thinning locks when he was snapped sporting a full head of hair
earlier this week and told fans he was "experimenting with some
interesting hair systems". But now he's admitted the truth behind
his new tresses - he's wearing a toupee. In a post on Twitter.com,
he writes, "The way my hair has receded in the last two years was
best defined as dorky. I started balding at age 17 and after first
being sad, I really embraced it. I was always cast older than my

Baldness is a hairy situation
A lot of UW-Green Bay professors are bright above the
shoulders. That is mostly because their bald shiny heads reflect
the light into students' eyes. There are a lot of different
theories about why so many professors are bald. Professors believe
it is from students being lazy. Students believe it is from the
stress of professors thinking up ridiculously hard exam questions.
Whatever it is, it's hard to overlook the fact that a lot of
professors who are bald also have some sort of facial hair. There
is a direct correlation between bald professors and the likelihood
they have a beard. The Harvard of cosmetology, Hairvard University,
released a study that shows a link between baldness and the chances
of having facial hair. Hairvard professor Dr. Harry Rogaine's
research shows there is a 78 percent chance of bald men having
facial hair. "When men lose their hair, they tend to over
compensate by growing it somewhere else on their body," Rogaine
said. "It will most likely be on their face." For bald men, growing
facial hair is the way they calm their unsteadiness of losing their
hair.

Hair loss: Not just a male problem
Hair loss is a very common problem faced by most people.
While not as common as male hair loss, female alopecia strikes a
significant number of women every year, says Dr. Enas Bukhari, a
dermatologist at a private practice in Jeddah. Hereditary hair loss
factors are the most difficult to deal with, but one can reduce the
effect from an early stage. Many of our hair roots are still alive,
and it is still possible to grow them back, she said. Women are
especially depressed about losing their hair as their beauty
depends a lot on their hairstyles. Fortunately, hair loss in women
typically does not result in complete baldness, as is often the
case with men. Although hair loss may seem like a major problem
among men, women are just as likely to lose or have thinning hair.
Most women notice it in their 50s or 60s, but it can happen at any
age and for a variety of reasons, added Bukhari.

Why autumn makes your hair fall out
Spotted a few extra hairs on your hairbrush or when you're
washing your locks? Before you start worrying that you're going
bald, consider the effect the time of year has on your barnet. In a
study published in the journal Dermatology, the scientists followed
more than 800 healthy women over six years and found that they lost
the most hair in the autumn months. They tracked 800 women over six
months and found autumn was the prime time for hair loss. The
Swedish researchers found that women had the highest proportion of
resting hairs in July

Bald Stories and Baldness Folklore
A middle-aged man had two wives, one who was old and one who
was young. Each one desired to see him like herself. Now the man's
hair was turning gray, which the young wife did not like, as it
made him look too old for her husband. So every night she used to
comb his hair and pull out the white ones. But the elder wife saw
her husband growing gray with great pleasure, for she did not like
to be mistaken for his mother. So every morning she used to arrange
his hair and pull out as many of the black ones as she could.In
consequence the man soon found himself entirely bald. Moral: Yield
to all and you will soon have nothing to yield.

Aderans Research Enrolls 300th Subject in Clinical Trial
Aderans Research reached a major milestone in its hair
restoration studies recently when the company enrolled its 300th
subject in Phase 2 of its clinical trial. With a goal of at least
350 subjects, Aderans is well on its way to expanding industry
knowledge about cell-based engineering solutions for pattern hair
loss. We will continue to evaluate various combinations of the Ji
Gami cell family in clinical treatment regimens, said Chief

Hair Restoration Procedures Appear to Be Gaining Popularity Among Younger Men
More and more younger men seem to be inquiring about
solutions for hair loss -- an indication that they're more
aggressive about addressing the issue now, rather than wait,
according to a highly respected doctor in the field of hair
transplants. The popular online physician referral service
LocateADoc.com recently interviewed Dr. Michael Zufelt, who
practices at the Hair Restoration Center of Utah. The hair
restoration specialist says an increasing number of his patients
are younger men. "I'm not sure there is a trend of younger people
losing hair, but certainly younger males are seeking preventative
and proactive approaches to hair loss than we have seen in years
past," Zufelt tells LocateADoc.com. According to the American Hair
Loss Association, the number of younger hair loss patients is
rising. By the age of 35, two-thirds of American men will
experience some degree of appreciable hair loss, studies indicate.
According to the International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery,
of those undergoing the procedure in recent years, over half of
male patients were between the ages of 30 to 49. "Our typical
patient is still a middle-aged male in his late 30's to 50's who
still acts and feels young but whose hair loss gives him an aging
appearance. He would like to maintain his youthful look," Zufelt
says.

First Live Hair Transplant on YouTube
Dr. Alan Bauman, a leading hair transplant surgeon and
founder of Bauman Medical Group, will perform the first-ever hair
transplant broadcast live on YouTube on Friday, November 18.
YouTube Weblebrity Kevin Nalts Nalty, whose videos have been viewed
more than 240 million times, will be documented as he receives his
second hair transplant with Dr. Bauman on YouTubes new,
highly-anticipated interactive live webcast platform. The surgery
makes for compelling yet unlikely entertainment for the online
video giant that is also debuting new live channels from
celebrities like Tony Hawk, Madonna, Ashton Kutcher, Shaq and Rainn
Wilson. The event kicks off at approximately 10:00am EST when Dr.
Bauman will harvest individual hair follicles from the back of
Naltys scalp using the Follicular Unit Extraction, or FUE, method.
A second broadcast will take place at approximately 1:00pm EST,
where he will show how those follicles are carefully implanted into
Naltys scalp to produce a permanent, natural hairline. The 1:00pm
webcast will also include a live call-in QA segment hosted by
best-selling author and The Bald Truths radio talk show host,
Spencer Kobren. Bauman and Nalty already proved the appeal of
behind the scenes video of a transplant procedure, Dr. Bauman
transplanted 1,958 follicular units totaling nearly 5,000 hair
follicles on Nalty in 2009, and their videos documenting the event
have been viewed more than 250,000 times. The same year, Dr. Bauman
also participated in a live broadcast with Greg Benson, actor and
director with MediocreFilms, which became the most-watched live
hair transplant procedure in history, amid a flurry of emails,
blog-posts and tweets. Bauman and Nalty are anticipating even more
response to Fridays event as consumer interest in hair restoration
is higher than ever, and new techniques like NeoGraft FUE, which
will be used again for Naltys procedure, have made hair
transplantation a less invasive and less detectable option for the
estimated 100 million American men and women with thinning
hair.

Minoxidil Foam Efficiency in Androgenic Alopecia
For women with androgenic alopecia, hair growth can be
stimulated effectively with once-daily 5 percent minoxidil topical
foam (MTF), according to a study published in the December issue of
the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. Ulrike
Blume-Peytavi, M.D., Ph.D., from the Charité-Universitätsmedizin
Berlin, and colleagues compared the efficacy, safety, and
acceptability of once-daily 5 percent MTF and twice-daily 2 percent
minoxidil topical solution (MTS) in women with androgenetic
alopecia. A total of 113 women were randomly allocated to receive
24 weeks of treatment with 5 percent MTF or 2 percent MTS. The
change from baseline in nonvellus target area hair count at week 24
was the primary efficacy parameter. The investigators found that
target area hair count and target area hair width were noninferior
in women receiving 5 percent MTF, and they experienced greater, but
nonsignificant, improvements in target area hair count, target area
hair width, and overall efficacy by global photographic review at
24 weeks.

Wayne Rooney's hair appears to be thinning
Wayne Rooney's hair appeared to be thinning slightly on top
as he recently flew out to Basel in Switzerland, merely months
after his 30,000-pound transplant. The 26-year-old footballer spent
the staggering amount earlier this year in his quest to get the
perfect head of hair. With his head bowed, Rooney's hair looked
significantly thinner both on the top and at the front of the
hairline, with the effects of the transplant seemingly wearing off.
Earlier this month, the striker had sparked concern that the
transplant may not have fully worked when he was seen sporting
greying locks. However, the director of the clinic then came
forward to insist the "discolouration" was normal, and may last
months.

Why People Lost Their Fur
The need for ancient humans to keep cool during the day might
explain their lack of body hair but not why they walked on two
feet. Bipedalism didnt evolve as a way for ancient humans to keep
cool during the heat of the day, according to a new model published
today (December 12) in Proceedings of the National Academy of
Sciences. But once hominins did start walking on two feet, it
ignited another change that allowed them to stay cool the loss of
body hair. The new model explains why similarly sized mammals that
walk on all fours and that may tend to overheat have not given up
their coats. If you are already walking upright for other reasons
it actually makes the advantage you get from losing hair bigger
than if you were on four legs, said David Wilkinson of John Moores
University in Liverpool, who authored the study along with Graeme
Ruxton of the University of Glasgow. You are moving more of your
body up above the ground and sweat evaporates more easily than it
can if you were on all fours, because more air will circulate
around you, Wilkinson explained.

RepliCel Procedure Could Offer Exciting New Treatment Option for Women
For anyone living through the consequences of balding, it can
be a serious issue that saps confidence. Baldness isnt easy for
anyone, but women suffering from alopecia may suffer more than
their male counterparts. The relative rarity of female pattern
baldness when compared to male pattern baldness combined with a
culture that elevates the importance of appearance for females
makes the loss of hair particularly troubling for women. For years,
treatments have been few and far between and those that were
available often times were ineffective. Drugs like Rogaine or
Propecia could regenerate some hair loss, but require continued use
for years. Exciting New Treatment

Coleen Rooney hair loss
She was spotted earlier this year with what appeared to be
noticeably thinning hair. And now, 10 months on, it seems Coleen
Rooney's hair loss is getting worse, with the WAG displaying a
significantly bare patch of hair at the opening of the PlayGround
club in Liverpool last night. It could be that the thinning hair is
down to Coleen's years of relying on hair extensions to give her a
thicker, more volumised look. The dangers of hair extensions?

Thinning Hair Explains Jennifer Aniston's Recent Bob
Anytime Jennifer Aniston gets a new hairstyle it makes
headlines but recently the actress explained why she decided to
chop off her long layered hairstyle for a shoulder-length bob in
February. Thinning hair is never easy for women. Whether it is from
anxiety, hormones, or genetics, researchers and product-development
companies have tried to come up with acceptable solutions for
years. Now, hair extensions are being attributed to causing hair
loss. Jennifer Aniston admitted in an interview with E! that she
has changed up her hair due to damage from constant hair-extension
use. The hair-extension business has boomed over the past 10 years
