Ukmedix has learnt that Paul Kemp after many years of research and work has possibly the easy cure and answer to hair loss and balding with stem cell technology. Kemp has been researching hair loss for over 6 years and his studies are beginning to be taken seriously, in fact so seriously that recently his company called Intercytex released shares to the public and is now worth in excess of sixty million pounds sterling.

The market for a simple hair loss remedy that works well in all cases and is easy to use and doesn't cause side effects or scaring would be extremely big and that is why the company's shares have been selling so well. Over forty percent of all men over the age of  50 suffer from hair loss and 20% of women get some degree of thinning hair too. Interestingly market reserach reveals that only 1 in 50 people bother to get hair loss help but the UK market is still worth nearly a billion pounds.

Dr Kemp may be responsible for massively increasing the hair loss business if his research bears fruit and it can be applied to balding men with a reasonable cost. He is a biochemist and an expert in skin tissue engineering and stem-cell mechanisms. His company presently makes replacement skin that can be used by surgeons for burn victims and in other applications as well as a compound that can quicken the healing of scars and wounds. The company is even investing in a formula to prevent wrinkles by cloning.

Kemp has tried his treatment for hair loss on his own head and it seems to be working with an extra 66 hair follicles on his scalp that seem to be growing well and normally. More testing is being done so that the treatment doses and methods of application will be optimised and fifty volunteers in the UK are taking part and the hair loss scientists at Intercytex are considering the use of a cell bank so that cells may be donated to different individuals.The idea is that soon baldness will be a thing of the past and that men who notice slight hair loss will just go and pay a vist to the local treatment centre and it will be easily fixed.

To understand how the treatment works you just need to consider that the all hair on the head is grown by dermal papilla cells on the scalp. The treatment centres will remove some of these cells from your head (or someone elses) and then will grow them in a laboratory. Previously these cells did not survive for long in the labs but by the addition of keratinocyte stem-cells to dermal papilla cells, the new cells start to grow hair after being injected back into the scalp. It sounds like stuff from a science-fiction film but it is very real and it is likely to be available soon.

No drugs are necessary and no surgery or difficult and time consuming procedures are necessary. In tests done up to date the results were apparent after about 3 months and the injections will be carried out on completely bald men and women and those who have just started to lose their hair.
