ABSTRACT:
Method and apparatus for growing hair on a subject's scalp are disclosed. The method includes pinching an area of a subject's scalp having hair bulbs for at least 2 seconds with a pair of electrodes. The electrodes are energized so that they pass a low voltage, low current and low frequency signal through the pinched area of the subject's scalp. The frequency of the signal is preferably less than about 6 Hz and the current thereof is preferably between about 50 and 800 microamps. The foregoing process is periodically repeated over several weeks, preferably months, to regrow or enhance the growth of hair on the treated area. The frequency and current of the signal are also preferably altered or varied each treatment for optimum results.
