Hair culture

There’s hope for hair loss through stem cell treatment.
YOU’RE losing hair and you’ve been told to rub garlic on bald spots, or oil on your scalp. “Try hanging upside down,” quipped Mark Birch, Svenson’s international trichologist from Britain.
That’s his tongue-in-cheek advice, but if you don’t believe in old wives’ tales, you could check out Svenson’s StemPlus Therapy. The latest treatment in town is touted to use stem cells (from South Korea) to effectively treat hair loss.
Mane growth: A Svenson hair therapist using a stylus pen to create electropores or ‘channels’ in the affected scalp area of the client. “StemPlus Therapy is a breakthrough in the frontier of scalp and hair regenerative therapy, and the first of its kind in Malaysia,” said Birch, who was in Kuala Lumpur recently to launch the therapy. “It delivers safe and highly advanced complexes that stimulate and restore activities naturally occurring within the scalp tissue.”
