New hair loss<br />

treatments could<br />

end baldness<br />

Several promising hair loss treatments are in clinical<br />

trials, including treatments that would work topically or<br />

systemically.<br />

The North American Hair Research Society shared<br />

examples of cutting-edge research at the recent 9th<br />

World Congress for Hair Research in Florida. Some<br />

treatments discussed were:<br />

• Regeneration of hair follicles from stem cells and the<br />

possibility to create new follicles (follicular neogenesis)<br />

• New treatments for alopecia areata, the most<br />

common form of autoimmune hair loss<br />

• Eff ects of laser light energy on hair growth<br />

• The role of the prostaglandins that promote or inhibit<br />

hair growth<br />

• New treatment approaches for androgenetic alopecia<br />

(male and female pattern hair loss) aimed at changing<br />

the local follicular environment, reduce follicular<br />

stress, and enhancing local production of growth<br />

factors – all of which can infl uence hair growth.<br />

Several hair loss treatments are in clinical trials, which<br />

means they may soon be available to the public.
