NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Engineers from the University of Wisconsin in Madison have devised a new hair growth stimulator that can be placed under the normal hat to treat baldness unnoticed.
Engineers have been able to create a wireless device that feeds on the user's movement, eliminating the need for a large battery, while stimulating the scalp with low electrical impulses, which helps restore hair growth, and the impact of the device does not penetrate to the deepest layers of the upper scalp. Cause no side effects.
The engineers who created the device under the supervision of Prof. Sodon Wang tested on laboratory mice shaving her hair, another group was given a medicinal product that helps her hair grow, and the third group was given a saline solution.The result was that the hair of the mice of the first group recovered her hair faster than the mice of the other two groups.
The device was then tested on mice whose hair did not grow due to lack of growth factors. The hairs grew 2 mm long after nine days, while the hairs grew one millimeter long in the surrounding area, which was treated with a medical preparation. Natural chemicals that help hair growth.
The creators intend to test the device on animals that implant human skin in areas of their body, before testing it on humans. But what's interesting is that Professor Wang tested the device on his bald father, and a month later his hair grew again.
