Baldness Cure 5 Years Away?

For the nearly 80% of men and 20% of women who experience hair loss, a cure for baldness would be a welcome relief from their suffering. As of yet, no cure has been found, but the dream may soon become reality. Scientists in Germany claim that a baldness cure may not be far off.

The scientists conducting research on baldness treatments claimed to have successfully grown hair follicles using stem cells. The testing used animal cells, but scientists are hopeful that the same results will be seen with humans. Since stem cells can be manipulated and grown into any tissue, researchers believe that with enough time and practice, these grown follicles could be used to help treat hair loss sufferers.

Steps are already being made to perfect this new baldness cure, and scientists even think that creating skin and hair in a lab could reduce the need for animal testing. The research is still in the early stages, and a cure is not expected to be available for another 5 years. Even so, there might be hope for those millions of balding heads.

Until this magical baldness cure arrives, hair loss patients do have other options to turn to for treatment. Hair restoration surgery is the only permanent treatment for baldness, and Follicular Unit Transplantation is one of the most popular and effective methods to restore hair. There are also a number of non-surgical treatments, like Rogaine® and Propecia®, that patients can use to help slow hair loss. You can learn more about these hair restoration procedures and treatments from a certified hair loss specialist.
