ELECTRICAL
STIMULATION GAINING POPULARITY ALL OVER THE WORLD EXCEPT IN U.S. -
6/15/97
Current Technology
Corporation in Canada holds the exclusive worldwide license rights
for the extensively studied and researched ETG (ElectroTrichoGenesis)
treatment for hairloss. As of today, there are already over 20 countries
who have signed the exclusive distribution agreement with Current
Technology Corp, including Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Panama,
Argentina and Indonesia etc. However, the treatment will not be
available for US residents for the foreseeable future. The lengthy
process involved in getting FDA's stamp of approval has immensely
discouraged the Canadian company from pursuing the U.S. market.
NOT ALL 5% MINOXIDIL
ARE CREATED EQUAL - 6/15/97
Since minoxidil is an alcohol based solution, long term use may cause
skin irritations in some people, such as rashes, dryness of the scalp
and flakiness etc. As a result, some companies have introduced specially
formulated minoxidil or so called minoxidil activator that includes
anti-inflammatory ingredients to mitigate the problem. Such
anti-inflammatory ingredients may include vitamin E, moisturizers,
ph-balance agents etc. For more information, please email HairSite@aol.com
