Another cure for baldness in sight

Today the most effective way to regrow lost hair is hair restoration surgery, but a surgical procedure to restore lost hair is not for everyone. Some people can't stomach the thought of shelling out thousands for cosmetic hair restoration and opt for less extreme treatments like Rogaine and Propecia, in some cases even sporting a toupee or worse—spray-on hair. That said, there's no easy way to restore your hair, any route you take is going to cost time and money. It comes down to how important having hair is to you. All that aside, a recent scientific discovery has uncovered good news for bald men and women, as there's another cure for baldness in sight.

Last week I briefly reported on wounded mice being used in studies to discover new hair loss treatments. Well, it seems as though the poor little mice didn't suffer in vain after this week's announcement of a potential hair loss cure. Researchers leading the study say they've developed a way to re-activate dead hair follicles, which cause balding. It's yet to be determined if this is another surgical procedure or medication. Either way, don't get too excited just yet—this proposed new "baldness cure" has about 10 years of research, testing and approvals to go through before it's ready for the consumer.
