Cyclosporin makes hair grow. Every where.

I had to shave my ears while taking it. I've seen bald dudes get a head of thick, dark, curly hair. I've seen women that had to shave their mustaches and beards.

Whoever figures out how that works will make a mint.




Actually they learned that general male hairloss is an autoimmune response where your own immune system attacks your hair follicles. Cyclosporine was the reason they discovered this after people who'd receive an organ transplant started to regrow hair.

Obviously taking Cyclosporine for MPB would be a bad idea.


Lol I had notice that my hair is growing back after mine (kidney) nearly 20 years of organ failure disalysis an the drugs had taken its toll.

I now have a lot of shorter very fine hair in the morning before I brush it I look like a dandelion.
