Hair Genesis Hair Loss Formulation Comes Out with Flying Colors
However, recent advancements in research have paved way to innovations that could prove vital to the discovery of a permanent cure for hair loss. Of late, the scientists at The University of Albany, Center For Functional Genomics, working collaboratively with Advanced Restoration Technologies (ART) DBA Hair Genesis, revealed ground-breaking findings from their scientific experiments undertaken to test a new hair loss treatment developed by ART. ART's product line Hair Genesis, which combines natural remedies with scientific research, represents a unique therapeutic platform in the hair loss treatment category, according to company officials. .
The research focused on the fact that hair loss, especially AGA, is caused by chronic inflammation of the hair follicle. The study, led by Sridar Chittur, Brian Parr & Geno Marcovici, evaluated Hair Genesis’ ability to block certain markers of localized inflammation in scalp hair through the use of a well-validated molecular technique which mimics human hair follicle gene expression.
Sridar Chittur, Ph.D., the lead scientist, has extensive research in molecular research with interests ranging from degenerative mitral valve disease (DMVD) to transcriptional changes associated with oxidative stress in the mitochondria. Co-author Brian Parr, Ph.D. brings a wealth of basic science expertise to the project with a number of peer-reviewed papers describing novel gene transcription and protein expression profiles in the Wnt and Frizzled pathways.
Study co-author Geno Marcovici, Ph.D., is a hair loss veteran with experience of almost two decades. His research efforts include the first published clinical trial successfully testing naturally derived 5 alpha reductase inhibitors in the setting of pattern hair loss.
ART’s test material used in the research had anti-inflammatory properties. It was also formulated with a subset of botanically-derived, highly potent DHT inhibitors. DHT is the prime culprit for hair loss in both men and women. The test formula combines the anti-inflammatory agents with powerful DHT inhibitors and offers enhanced clinical efficacy over conventional monotherapy, such as Rogaine (minoxidil 5 percent) or Propecia (1 mg. finasteride).
The results of the experiment have shown that the test material reduced gene expression of three inflammatory cytokines thought to be linked to pattern hair loss.
According to Marcovici, "Aside from Hair Genesis, the naturally-derived hair treatments commercially available offer little or no objective evidence that they work. On the other hand, the drug-based treatments that do work come with potentially serious negative side effects. This tends to render Hair Genesis a unique proposition in the category."
"One interesting observation described in this paper establishes the utility of our compositions in the clinical environment, including the potential deployment of Hair Genesis as an adjunctive tool in autologous hair transplant surgery," Marcovici added.
Meanwhile another recent study revealed that raspberry ketone can be effective in treating various forms of baldness.
The researched proved that in mice the raspberry ketone cream increased the expression of an insulin growth factor called "IGF-1" in the hair follicles and promoted hair re-growth in mice 4 weeks after application. In the human test subjects, the ketone extract resulted in hair growth in 50 percent of the test subjects with alopecia after 5 months; and, it also increased their cheek skin elasticity.
