Scientists successfully developed bald anti-bald hat

According to The Daily Mail, scientists at the University of Wisconsin, USA, have invented a headgear, stimulating the scalp with a weak electrical current to overcome male pattern baldness.

The scientists conducted the experiment by attaching a stimulating patch (the main part of the hat) to the backs of experimental mice that lost their hair due to genetic defects. Tests have shown that this hat is as effective as anti-bald drugs, sometimes even superior. The main thing is to not cause side effects and unpleasant sensations (hat-wearing people almost feel no electrical stimulation).

The researchers found that rodents grew 2mm of hair under the patch while using minoxidil lotion (a hair growth stimulator) that gave 1mm growth. Moreover, the hair density increased by 3 times.

According to the inventors, the positive effect is due to natural stimulants such as the keratinocyte growth factor and the vascular endothelial growth factor. strong. It is important that this system is fully automated - electricity is generated due to friction of the material (voltage effect).

Hair loss affects about 25% of men when they are 25 years old and according to Dr. Xudong Wang this will be a very practical solution for hair regeneration.
