UK based hair Transplant Company, FUE Hair Clinics, have responded to a recent study by scientists from Hokkaido University in Japan, which reveals that beehive resin could help against hair loss.

The recent discovery at the Hokkaido University in Japan, involved the study of propolis and how it can possibly help with hair growth. The substance found in beehives has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years, treating wounds, acne and inflammation, and the scientists have moved onto the problem of hair loss, testing the residue on shaved mice.

While the mice in the experiment weren’t suffering from hair loss, the mice treated with the propolis saw a faster rate in hair growth, with the belief that the keratinocytes, a cell type which aids with hair follicle production, can be treated as an inflammation when there is damage, which is where propolis’s anti-inflammatory properties come into play.

The study is only in its early stages, and the full effects of the substance’s benefits in hair loss has yet to be determined. The next stage for the group of scientists is to test propolis with other baldness treatments, including minoxidil, the main substance for Rogaine.

Leader of the study, Ken Kobayashi said, ‘I expect that propolis improves hair loss due to inflammation through anti-inflammatory properties and the keratinocyte-proliferative effect. Propolis is a natural ingredient without any side effects. A combination of propolis and minoxidil may be effective.’

Often commenting on industry news, a spokesperson for FUE Hair Clinics said, ‘The new discovery of propolis’s effects on hair growth is fascinating and will hopefully help humans once tests have moved away from mice. Hair loss is a terrible thing for everyone, and the more methods out there, the better.

Hair transplants are the best way to counter hair loss currently, far more effective than any other hair growth treatments on the market, and there are many services available that we offer, with something suited to each individual. Remember, baldness is just a choice.’
