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.
Synopsis: The partial or complete loss of one’s eyebrows is a relatively common problem and can be caused by disease, accidents, the normal aging process, or can be been self-induced.

A study published in the December 2015 issue of the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology suggests that Viviscal, an oral supplement designed for women with thinning hair, may promote hair growth. The researchers noted a 79 percent increase in healthy, terminal hairs and an almost 12 percent increase in hair diameter in female patients who took the supplement for six months. The evidence suggests that Viviscal may be a useful supplement to current hair restoration treatments, or an alternative treatment in patients not indicated for hair transplant surgery or medical treatment with finasteride.
Q: After my hair transplant procedure I had some shock loss, and then after about 4 1/2 to 7 months I had tremendous growth -- really thick. I was amazed actually. Now, at 8 months it has thinned again, quite a lot compared to the growth I had before. I just wondered if this was a normal growth pattern and whether further growth could be expected? -- N.T., Brooklyn, NY
The Discovery Channel interviewed Dr. Bernstein for a piece on hair transplant repair. Below is an excerpt from the interview: Dr. Bernstein: When I first saw Ken in 1995. He still had the traditional plugs, and I would say on a scale of one to ten, he was maybe a seven, with ten being the worst. We performed a procedure called follicular unit transplantation where hair is transplanted in exactly the way it grows in nature, which are little tiny groups of one to four hairs. Ken Gold: After the first surgery I was just ecstatic because I was actually able to look at myself in the mirror. Watch the full interview.

The computerized device has received 510(k) approval from the Food and Drug Administration. Restoration Robotics is due to begin marketing the system for use in hair restoration clinics in the United States. The FDA classifies the ARTAS robotic system for hair restoration as a “computer assisted hair harvesting system” and describes it as being used to identify and extract follicular units to aid the surgeon during hair transplant procedures.
