New Drug for Hair Loss?

Will a new treatment for hair loss be on the market soon?

The US Patent & Trademark Office awarded a patent this June to a University of Arkansas chemistry professor for inventing a new pharmaceutical protein called BMD-2341. 

So far, it appears the protein has only been tested on mice, but it seems to have a mitigating effect on hair loss. 

A company called BiologicsMD is now in the process of developing a line of "protein therapeutics" to utilize this drug as a new treatment for hair loss.

At Bauman Medical Group, we're often the first to evaluate new hair loss treatments entering the market, so we'll be sure to find out more information as soon as it becomes available. Stay tuned for more information later on.

Here’s how it works: a patient’s own blood is naturally enhanced to boost the number of platelets and key growth factors. That blood is then reinjected into the scalp, where it revives dying follicles and regrows lost hair.
