Baldness "cure"

Seems like blood flow might be the common culprit, could it really be that simple? I know the article states nothing about bloodflow. It does state injecting blood into the scalp stimulates stem cells, but why?

The good news: Scientists believe they have finally found a “baldness cure.” The bad news: The process by which your receding hairline is fixed is called the “vampire treatment,” and it’s freakier than it sounds.

maybe its just the act of injecting that may cause new hair growth, that way it would be similiar to some manual methods (like towel method, brushing, wounding with dermal roller) that some users reported having success with.

reminds a lot of Slowmoes post about hypoxia the-effects-of-hypoxia-on-hair-growth

The fact that autografts from hair bearing scalp grew hair when transplanted to bald scalp appears to be contradictory. However, when transplanting hair bearing autografts, an incision is made in the scalp at the recipient site. This adds the confounding variable of neovascularization in that region. This neovascularization may provide sufficient O.sub.2 to allow the local hormonal milieu to be permissive for hair growth.

so maybe the injection just creates a wound which would then cause new bloodvessels to be developed in that area, thereby improving the oxygen supply and scalp environment and causing hair to grow

Looks like we have something new to add to our routine

Rdkml had a thread akin to this topic involving Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy and PEMF: https://immortalhair.forumotion.com/t6958-pemf-and-prp-to-regrow-hair?highlight=pemf

The results aren't attributed to increased blood flow; something much more dramatic must be happening for the kind of results being reported. And the "Is it worth it?" tone of the article is really shoehorned in there for padding because if effective and available, there will be a line of men stretching several corners outside every hospital. I started dermarolling 1.5mm without anasthetic as a curiosity. Start promising me my hair from high school and I'll go as far as to let them flip my scalp inside out.

I would try this, but I am growing more secure and secure with my baldness and even forgot I am losing my hair. People say I look better with out a hat and look good with the bald look. I will still try to grow it back if I can, but I would try this treatment in a few years. No surgery for me its just to extreme
