Objectives: This lecture has two objectives. 1. Evaluate different procedures for hair loss. 2. Examine different therapies for rejuvenation, hair growth and skin disorders which are the most difficult to treat presenting high levels of reoccurrence and a substantial deterioration with ageing Introduction: We explored a variety of methods such as RF, laser, monochromatic near-infrared treatment, TENS, acupuncture, and pulsed electromagnetic fields applied to hair loss, facial rejuvenation and skin disorders. Most current technologies demonstrated inconclusive, limited, or temporary results with minor or short-term improvements. Hair growth was one of the most challenging areas of rejuvenation since even hair transplants do not really produce the attractive results one sees in the ads. Materials / method: We explored low-energy technologies that seemed to offer long-lasting results with no re-occurrence of skin lesions and substantial rejuvenation as well as reasonable hair growth. Research conducted by ultra-low energy technologies also reports a reduction of inflammation because of antioxidant electron donation transforming free radicals into stable molecules. We report the results of clinical studies on rejuvenation, hair growth, and a randomized double blind one-year-long longitudinal clinical study on rejuvenation, hair growth and repair of skin lesions. Results: After 8-10 treatments patients experienced fast relief from their symptomatology with no side effects and no symptom rebound. The statistically significant results on wound repair were not age contingent. This contradicted past research postulating that age-accumulated inflammation and endothelial dysfunction can further exacerbate skin disorders. Conclusion: Importantly, a method offering age-independent, cost-effective, long-term substantial skin healing with no symptoms rebound has major implications in reducing expensive dermatological treatments or hospitalization time and overall expenses by offering a solution that enhances the quality of life. Rejuvenation and hair growth is also substantially important in enhancing self confidence and indirectly affecting interpersonal relationships and self esteem.
