Sato Finasteride Study Points to Long-term Safety, Efficacy in Use of Propecia

Led by Dr. A. Sato, a Japanese team of medical researchers published the largest finasteride study ever performed, "Evaluation of efficacy and safety of finasteride 1mg in 3,177 Japanese men with androgenetic alopecia." It investigated the effects of finasteride over a 3 1/2 year period in men with androgenetic alopecia, or common baldness. The study found that patients who had experienced hair loss for an extended period of time and were treated with finasteride exhibited notable hair growth. While a fairly small proportion of patients with a hair loss duration over 10 years exhibited "greatly increased" growth, 85% of patients with hair loss duration of more than 15 years experienced "moderate" or "slightly increased" growth. Physicians have thought that people with advanced hair loss do not respond as well as patients in the early stages of hair loss. However, in light of the results of this study, that determination should be reconsidered. Continue reading this article.

Can a Hair Transplant Treat an African-American Woman with Scarring Alopecia?

Q: I'm a 42 year old African-American woman and I'm losing hair on the crown of my head. Would I be a good candidate for a hair transplant? -- E.E., Philadelphia, P.A. A: Hair loss in the crown of an African American female can have several different etiologies, so the first thing to do is to make the right diagnosis. The most common causes of hair loss are androgenic alopecia (AGA) and scarring alopecia, also called ‘Central Centrifugal Cicatricial Alopecia,’ or CCCA. A biopsy is often useful to differentiate these two causes of hair loss when the diagnosis is unclear. A biopsy can also identify other, but less common, causes of crown hair loss. Patients with central centrifugal cicatricial (scarring) alopecia are generally not candidates for a hair transplant procedure since the body may reject the transplanted hair. This condition is better treated with oral and injectable anti-inflammatory medications.

Viviscal

Viviscal is an oral supplement aimed at boosting hair growth in men and women. Launched in the U.S. in 2008 by Lifes2good Inc., Chicago, Illinois, it uses a proprietary mix of powders derived from sustainably-harvested shark and mollusk species. This “amino marine complex,” called AminoMar®, is blended with vitamin and mineral nutrients to comprise Viviscal. The product’s active ingredients, a group of long chain sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), are especially adept at attracting and retaining water. Ingesting them may contribute to healthy hair and skin. GAGs were isolated from the fish- and protein-rich diet of the Inuit people after a Scandinavian scientist observed the resilience of their skin and hair.
