Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9625943A1] The present invention relates to a method for stimulating dormant hair follicles in intact skin, especially intact skin of the scalp of humans and enhancing the growth and restoring the natural hair color of hair which has been diminished in its natural color. The formulations according to the present invention are useful for increasing hair growth by stimulating dormant, weak of dying hair follicles to produce hair. Auxiliary to such hair growth is the unexpected result that the hair's natural color is restored to hair which is diminished in its natural color, for example in graying and/or gray hair, as the hair grows. In addition, the formulations act to produce angiogenesis in epidermal tissue surrounding hair follicles as well as enhance the growth of ungual tissue or revitalize skin in animals. These formulations generally comprise an effective amount of a mixture of non-steroidal anabolic hormones selected from insulin, growth hormone, triiodothyronine or thyroxine, in combination with a minimum essential medium, preferably, an enriched minimum essential medium such as MCDB 153.
