Wellness The cutting-edge hair growth treatments of South Korea — where the president has declared balding a ‘matter of survival’

#1

FWIW…

"“The gene-silencing approach”

“One of the most innovative ideas in hair loss right now is CosmeRNA, an easily applied topical treatment developed in South Korea that uses small interfering RNA technology.”

“It works by blocking the follicle’s androgen receptor — the signal that tells hair to thin and fall out — rather than suppressing the hormone osystemically.”

One sentence caught my attention:

CosmeRNA is used in many Korean clinics and can also be purchased online in the United States, where it’s registered as a cosmetic rather than a drug.

The article links to an Amazon page.

Note the the Amazon age states:

    $1,835.82 / fluid ounce

I haven’t found anything on the page that state how many weekly applications on can expect for the $123 price.

Company site at: CosmeRNA

No mention of how many applications. Maybe it varies vis-a-vis area covered.

Yet, interesting.

Can one just buy the ingredient(s)?

There isn’t any strong evidence that CosmeRNA actually works. It hasn’t gone through clinical trials where hairloss treatments usually fail.
