Show THE BALD TRUTH You can learn bald facts about hair loss from New-ton't New-ton't Apple, the award-winning award-winning PBS science series. Q. Can baldness be cured? A. No, because balding is inherited, it can't be prevented pre-vented either, report researchers resear-chers from Newton 's Apple. It can, however, be treated. Treatments include transplanting trans-planting many tiny hair plugs from the sides to the top of the head and experimental drugs which try to increase local skin circulation in certain cer-tain areas in hopes of stimulating stimu-lating hair growth. Many people think that only men undergo the balding process. The fact is, however, that women do too, but they undergo a less obvious pattern pat-tern of baldness. A doctor can tell if male pattern baldness is developing by looking at the area of hair loss, by pulling out a hair to see if it comes out easily and by examining hairs under a microscope. |
