Latest Testimonial for Female Hair Loss

The latest testimonial for ProFusion received by a 37 year old lady is below, who has found ProFusion to be very effective at stopping hair loss and stimulating new hair regrowth:-

"I am very happy to leave a review for a such a good product as Profusion shampoo.

I have been using Profusion shampoo for around 6 months, and in the first month it has reduced the level of hair loss, and after 2 months it stopped completely and in my head started growing lots of new hair. ProFusion is definitely the best product in the market (I have tried so many different shampoo's without any effect) and I have ordered it again. I realised my hair have more volume and feels bushy.

Looking at the mirror I also realised it was much thicker than before. I have been advised that the best shampoos for hair loss are designed for men, and if you are women you should be afraid to use them to achieve the good results. This product may not work for everyone, but it definitely works for me ."

I was pleased to be able to test this, it looked like a nice shampoo and conditioner that will hopefully help heal my hair loss after having a baby. The packaging was OK, and the instructions were easy to follow. I used the product myself and found that it had a very pleasant smell and look to both the shampoo and conditioner. It lathered up well which is very important to me with this type of product. Its of great quality and I would definitely recommend! Sarah Campbell

Product Tested By Lorraine Brightmore

Lorraine Awarded the Profusion Shampoo and Conditioner 4/5

I thought the product looked very expensive and professional, the packaging is also very clear. My partner is testing the product but has never used hair-loss products before. It's simple to use and smells very nice, it looks and seems like a top quality product! I wouldn’t usually consider spending this amount of money on a product like this, but upon trying the product I could be persuaded to think otherwise. The main reason for saying no to buying regularly is the fact that I think my hair loss is a bit far advanced for this type of product. I would probably recommend it to my friends that have started loosing hair recently but not to friends that have had hair loss for a while. I liked using the product, it seemed of good quality, easy to use and smells nice. I have no bad things to say about it but I do think it is aimed at people that have not advanced too far with hair loss whereas I think I am past that stage. Lorraine Brightmore

Product Tested By Joyce Bryant

Joyce Awarded the Profusion Shampoo and Conditioner 4.7/5

I was eager to try this as in my mid 50's and just recently really noticed starting to loose my hair. As a woman I do want to keep my hair looking good and try and present further hair loss. this was a well packaged product and liked the fact came with shampoo and conditioner. Good information on packaging too. Very easy to use, shampoo lathers up well and bottle design good for shampoo and conditioner. Liked the aroma. I have been using this for 6 weeks now and have noticed difference. I do not seem to be loosing so much hair every time I wash my hair and it certainly gives my hair a thicker appearance. Which is good as always like to look my best. It is expensive, but when I take into account the results and my hair is looking thicker then for me it is worth the investment. Will recommed to friends and really glad had chance to review this as had never heard of this product before. Thank you. Joyce Bryant

Hair Cloning

Biologically Engineered Hair Growth
Researcher Kevin McElwee is one of a select group of people who have a PhD in hair biology and Dr McElwee believes that a cure for baldness that uses the technique of hair cloning could potentially be available within 10 years.

Hair cloning is a more commonly used term for bio-engineered hair growth. The process involves isolating a group of cells at the base of the hair follicle, which is the living part of hair which is rooted in the skin. Once the follicular cells are multiplied in vitro in a laboratory, they can then be implanted back into the donor’s scalp where they divide to create new follicles and generate new hair.

It is reported that a sample of about 10 hairs could produce several million cultured cells, which, in turn, could grow several thousand hairs.

Scientists have been studying hair cloning in animal models for a few years, but Dr McElwee is the first investigator to demonstrate exactly how cloning works.

“Now that we have proof of how this process works, we can accelerate the research toward creating a limitless supply of hair , in effect, a cure for baldness.”

While early results are promising, he estimates it will take almost a decade of further study, clinical trials and meeting regulatory requirements before cloning is widely available.

An expert in the cellular mechanics of hair loss and growth, McElwee was recruited by Dr. Jerry Shapiro, a world authority on hair disorders, to join the division of dermatology in the University of British Columbia’s department of medicine in March 2004. Also an investigator with the Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute, McElwee came to Canada from Philipp University in Germany where he was a senior scientist in the department of dermatology.

Latest Stem Cell Research Brings New Hope for Hair Loss

Experts at the University of Pennsylvania say they have discovered what they believe is one of the main causes of male pattern baldness, discovering a previously undiscovered cause, but a cause they hope will be correctable in the future.

When a man is suffering from male pattern baldness, this means that a defect in the way his hair is synthesised by his scalp, means the hair that is produced is so small it appears virtually invisible to the naked eye.

The breakthrough is discovering that the fault lies with the stem cells that make new hair, according to Journal of Clinical Investigation. Experts therefore hope that it may be therefore be possible to 'cure' male baldness by restoring the normal function of these cells.

Ultimately, scientists may to be able to develop a therapeutic agent that could be applied to the scalp to help the stem cells grow normal hair.

The university has been working with men undergoing hair transplants and the University of Pennsylvania team have been compared hair follicles in bald areas and non-bald areas of the scalp.

What they discovered was that, although bald areas had the same number of hair-generating stem cells as a normal scalp there were fewer of a more mature type, called the progenitor cell. This difference means that hair follicles in bald patches shrink rather than disappear and the new hairs made are microscopic compared to normal hair. In other words the hair roots are not 'dead' as always previously thought, they are just producing incredibly fine hair which does not cover the scalp.

Dr George Cotsarelis who led the research said:

"This implies that there is a problem in the activation of stem cells converting progenitor cells in bald scalp."

"The fact that there are normal numbers of stem cells in bald scalp gives us hope for reactivating those stem cells."

The importance of this new research cannot be under emphasised, what in simple terms it is saying is that your hair roots still have the capacity to produce hair, but are not receiving the necessary chemical triggers to be able to activate the stem cells and produce normal hair. Instead they are producing fine downy hair which looks like there is no hair at all. It may also be that the body is producing a chemical which actively switches off the stem cells and scientists would need to find a way of blocking this chemical trigger - in other words switching off the off switch!

According to Dr George Cotsarelis at the University of Pennsylvania
"It really gives us hope, because the stem cells are present"

All in all this is very exciting news and Pro Hair Biosystems will be following developments closely.

Hair Loss due to Chemotherapy

It is well known that Cancer Chemotherapy causes hair loss. This is a very different type of hair loss to typical male or female pattern baldness.

As most people know, Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment which uses very powerful anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. These drugs work by attacking the cancer cells and disrupting their growth. Unfortunately, they can also affect the normal cells in the body, including the cells of the hair follicles. This causes hair loss, also known as alopecia. Unlike cancer cells, however, the normal cells quickly recover, so if you lose your hair due to chemotherapy it will almost always grow back when your treatment is over.

Not all chemotherapy drugs make your hair fall out, and sometimes the loss is so small it's hardly noticeable. However, some people will have temporary, partial or complete baldness. Some chemotherapy drugs make other body hair fall out, such as eyebrows, eyelashes, nasal hair, beard, moustache, chest, underarm, leg and pubic hair. The amount of hair that falls out depends on the drug or combination of drugs used, the doses given and the way that your body reacts to the drug.

If your hair is going to fall out, it usually starts within two to three weeks of starting chemotherapy, although very occasionally it can start within a few days. The first thing you may notice is that your hair starts to come out more when you brush, comb or wash it. You may also find hair on your pillow in the morning.

Hair may just thin and become dry, fragile and break easily. For other people their hair may carry on falling out over a few weeks so that they become completely bald. Sometimes the hair comes out very quickly over 1-2 days, which can be very upsetting. Some people find that their scalp feels tender.

Preventing hair loss during chemotherapy
By cooling the scalp, it is sometimes possible to reduce the amount of chemotherapy drugs that reach the hair follicles on your scalp. This reduces, and in some cases prevents, the hair from falling out. It's done by using a 'cold cap' or a machine that cools the scalp. There are many different ways of cooling the scalp so the methods used vary from one hospital to another.

Types of scalp cooling
There are two widely available methods for scalp cooling: one uses a hat known as a cold cap which is filled with gel that can be chilled and the other uses a refrigerated cooling system to pump liquid coolant through a cap that is attached to the system.

Cold caps that are filled with gel can be applied easily and kept in place by Velcro. The cap can be very uncomfortable and heavy, as well as being very cold, and may give you a headache. It also needs to be changed every 20-40 minutes to keep your scalp cool.

Caps attached to the refrigerated cooling system generally feel lighter than the gel caps. You need to sit by the machine while the cap is in place, so you can’t walk about freely. However, the cap can be disconnected for short periods if necessary, for example if you need to use the toilet.

Both methods of scalp cooling need to be worn for some time before and after the chemotherapy drugs are given. You may have the cap on for a few hours in total. You may feel chilly during the treatment, but the chemotherapy staff will do all they can to make you as comfortable as possible.

Scalp cooling is only effective when used with certain chemotherapy drugs and it’s not always possible to know how effective the treatment will be until you try it. Scalp cooling is not advisable when treating some types of cancer. Your doctor or chemotherapy nurse can tell you if it’s available and whether it’s appropriate for you.
How will my hair grow back after chemotherapy?

Hair almost always grows back after chemotherapy. It may begin to grow back before you finish your treatment. At first the hair is very fine but you will probably have a full head of hair after 3-6 months. You may find that your new hair is curlier, straighter or finer than it was before. It may also be a slightly different colour, or sometimes a mixture of dark and grey hair. Very rarely, after high doses of chemotherapy the hair does not grow back at all.

Hair loss shampoos, will probably not help prevent hair loss due to chemotherapy. If they do the effect will probably only be transient as many hair loss shampoos increase blood flow to the scalp, which will actually help deliver more chemotherapy to the scalp and may accelerate the hair loss.

Where ProFusion and other hair loss shampoos may help, would be when chemotherapy is complete and fine hair begins to grow again. Using ProFusion should help the new hair to grow more quickly and stronger. However it is always best to consult your GP or oncologist before using any additional treatment, even a hair loss shampoo.

Most people have experienced cancer in themselves or a friend or family member at some stage of their lives. Fortunately modern cancer treatments are much more effective than they were a few years ago and survival rates are getting better all of the time. If you are a cancer sufferer and have experienced hair loss, you might wish to contribute to this blog so that others can reply and share their experiences and please remember that Macmillan Nurses can also offer help support and advice during this time.
