Regrowing Hair In Female Baldness (Alopecia)

Partial baldness is not uncommon in women. Aging, environmental factors, and illness along with a genetic predisposition can cause female alopecia. Recently, scientific evidence has given us a much deeper understanding  of the mechanisms involved in hair loss, and how to prevent hair loss and actually regrow hair.

Basically, the hair follicle is rimmed with a number of types of stem cells. These stem cells in the follicle are responsible for growing hair and for making the hair's pigmentation. With aging, illness, and through environmental factors, these stem cells can reduce in number and effectiveness, resulting in graying and the loss of hair.

Last month, BioRegenerative Sciences, Inc. of San Diego, CA, with whom I am a consultant, released a new topical spray for regrowing hair and pigmentation in women's alopecia. The good news....this product really works! Women regrow hair in about 6-8 weeks following the beginning of treatment. Treatment is simple, you simply spray the product, called Hair Stemulating Complex (HSC), onto the affected area of your scalp. On average, women who have used the product see significant hair growth and pigmentation in 7 weeks.

How does HSC work? The HSC product works by reconditioning the hair follicle. HSC uses the molecules from stem cells taken from hair follicles, and formulates these stem cell molecules into the topical spray. Thus, when you spray the HSC onto your scalp, the molecules from stem cells are absorbed into the follicle and mimic the natural hair and pigment regenerating mechanisms naturally working in the hair follicle. My colleague, Dr. Rita Friedman, and I have both used the product with very positive results.
