Re: New Nioxin product - Semodex

May 22, 2002

That would definitely be an interesting way to treat cea.. Lipase may

contribute to it.. Demodex may contribute to it, and this would help get rid

of both of them. What I couldn't tell from the website though, is does

Semodex use some of the same chemicals in it that Nioxin does? If my memory

is functioning correctly today, I believe Nioxin shampoo is what Dr. Nase

would always use to induce a flush on his face before photoderm treatments

because it has a high concentration of topical niacin in it.

Also on a side note for anyone interested after reading that, I don't think

they're going to find that Semodex is going to work for people with thinning

hair. People's hair thins as they grow older, and Demodex mites increase on

the skin as you grow older, so showing that people with thinning hair have

increased numbers of Demodex mites doesn't really prove anything (I dont

think). The only way that study would have carried any weight (at least in

my mind) is if they further proved the link by showing that a product that

eliminates demodex from the scalp showed clinical effectiveness in

preventing hairloss
