Facial Relaxant May Cure Baldness, Doctor Says

Could Facial Relaxants cure baldness? One Beverly Hills doctor thinks it could.
Balding men may be offered a cure for their thinning heads — injections of Facial Relaxants.
The toxic chemicals are generally used to smooth out wrinkles, but doctors have discovered it can regrow hair too.
The treatment was discovered by accident — Dr. Simon Ourian in Beverly Hills, Calif., was trying to cure his mother’s headaches. Facial Relaxants is used off-label to treat migraines, and Ourian’s mother, a cancer victim, was going through chemotherapy.
After injecting Facial Relaxants into her scalp, Ourian was stunned to see his mother’s hair regrow. Facial Relaxants dilate the blood vessels, which allows nutrients into the hair shaft and stimulates new growth.
Ourian tested his theory on volunteers for three years, and although the treatment needs repeated injections, he has a “dramatic” difference.
“I was happily surprised,” Ourian said. “As hair loss is a significant source of insecurity, there was no shortage of volunteers.”

Dr Lanzer warns this is purely speculative at the moment and there is no proven data yet.
