Liquid Nitrogen as hair loss treatment?!

[chewbaca]

LN is used in cosmetics to treat acnes, various skin diseases and hair loss due to
over active sebaceous (oil producing) glands. Wrap the stick with cotton, deep the

stick in LN and roll it back and forth over your skin or scalp. The cold causes

glands to shrink, stabilizing HP balance of the scalp. Your hair will grow four

times faster and healthier.

Sounds rather sketchy to me. You could just pour the stuff on your scalp just to freak someone out who doesn't realize that the heat from your body will instantly evaporate any liquid before it actually has time to give your frost bite.

LN sure works for some types of skin problens. Itching Psoriasis, for one.

I've had numerous treatments on my hands but don't recall any benefits or negitive effects to the hair on the back of my hands.

You'd think it would snap off, being completely frozen. The same for scalp hair. You'd probably have to shave your head.

It would help the itch but as for growing new hair...I don't see it.

eh i been using an icepack on my head once a day for a while just to see what might happen. thing is we'd have to test these things on tonnes of people not on any other meds to get a real answer.
