Here is a test:

Clinical tests
The last clinical studies of BX3.4
The innovating BX3.4 couple confirms the published results about phases I, II, III and IV (see sections electromagnetic waves and bibliography).
The efficacy of the essential oil + electromagnetic field combination on hair loss and re-growth was assessed in 49 alopecic volunteers (both sexes) during a study in which the treated patients were compared with the patients who had received a placebo treatment (Randomised placebo controlled trial). These volunteers were subjected to hair counts before and after treatment and 30 of them went through a histological and/or morpho-histochemical tests after a biopsy (skin sampling) of the scalp.

Increase of hair density
85% of subjects have experienced an increase of their hair density in just 24 weeks of treatment, despite the inclusion in the study of subjects whose baldness was too advanced to reasonably expect positive results (stages V, VI and VII, according to HAMILTON classification). The more recent the alopecia (under 5 years), the more effective the treatment.
From a histologic point of view (microscopic study of the scalp and its adnexas, hairs, sebaceous glands, conjonctive tissue), the results were significant: reinforcement of the hair structures (thicker), disappearance of signs of degeneration and of the inflammatory infiltrate of the conjonctive tissue.

Cellular regeneration of the hair bulb
Finally, the immuno-histochemical study corroborated the histologic findings and, thanks to the use of specific markers, has shown that the index of cellular regeneration of the hair bulb increases by 80% after three months of treatment; these modifications are accompanied by a reconstitution of the epithelial tubes (which surround hairs in the scalp) along with the appearance of new keratin in the hair bulbs.
Innocuousness, absence of risks
It is important to note that the use of low intensity fields, which do not penetrate the skin deeply, cannot cause any form of lesion since the specific absorption rate is 0.002 W/kg, which is much lower than the recommended limit of 0,08 W/kg (from Seze et al. 1996, Juutilanen et al., 1998).

Indications and Cosmetologic Results
95% of the volunteers experienced a halt in excessive hair loss, coupled with an improvement in hair quality: silkier, more voluminous and easier to style.
These aspects are particularly appreciated by women who, regardless of alopecia-related considerations, like to use BX3.4 just for its strictly cosmetic benefits.

Historical background of clinical studies
The use of an electromagnetic field in the treatment of alopecia was validated by Maddin’s research, which showed that an electromagnetic field facilitates hair growth.

During a 1992 clinical study, he was able to notice that hair density increases from 82 to 150 scalp hairs per square centimetre after 36 weeks of treatment, then up to 276 scalp hairs per square centimetre after 70 weeks of treatment. In comparison, density only improves from 124 to 160 scalp hairs per square centimetre after 36 weeks for the non-treated, control group. From the 37th week onwards, the control subjects were treated and their hair density increased to 249 scalp hairs per square centimetre on the 70th week. It should be noted that this study was carried out with phase III and IV alopecias (HAMILTON classification), sufferers of phase V, VI, and VII baldness were excluded.

if this is a scam, it shows that people can get away with advertizing anything as long as it does not hurt anyone and only hurts their wallets and wastes their time. maybe the oil did something. i found it interesting that even the control group gained about 40 hairs per square centimeter in just 36 weeks (or did it say 27?). it is difficult to get that many hairs from hair transpantation in that time period, since you can only get 30 folicular units per cm2 and must wait 6 months for them to all grow out so the Doctor knows where the first ones are and does not accidently double plant the same spot.

does the helmet come with floaties?

Surely if it really worked it would be all over the news and people would be talking about it all over the web.
