Wow, botox? This was a total surprise.

Fox news just put out the article too, if this is really the cure, then wow.

Just found another article on it, it goes way more in depth.

Apparently it "does not prevent genetic hairloss". So how is it a cure? :whistle:

hmm i have heard of hairloss due to scalp hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) which would be cured by a botox
and i could imagine that a botox to the scalp would impove bloodflow so it would work similar to minoxidil
but the thing is, A- that is the sun, not a brilliant source and B- people who have chemo regrow hair normally after anyway so how can we prove the botox had any improvement

on the other hand i would love for it to work and i could have a regimen of 6 monthly botox lol (and it would cure my annoying sweaty scalp lol)

also i wonder how this is only been discovered NOW when we have been botoxing sweaty scalps for a while

ohhh btw you can get a botox from http://www.epione.com if you're lucky enough to live in Beverly hills
or rich enough to fly there :woot:
i wanna see before and after though
looks like it's gonna cost $500 - $7000
7000 kinda a rip off for what is just botox and a few grounded up supplement tablets

but there are no uk clinics offering this :sobbing:

So supposedly repeat injections of poison will save your hair?

It's not for male pattern baldness. They use it to make chemo patients' hair grow back faster.

well epione seem to be marketing it for male pattern baldness
well why would a growth stimulant work for chemo and not male pattern baldness :dunno:
just wanna ask, any brave volunteers

Because they are very different kinds of hair loss.
