17658 TITLE OF THE INVENTION METHOD OF TREATING OR PREVENTING BALDNESS WITH COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR A method of retarding or reversing baldness which comprises the topical application of compositions containing as at least one of its active iningredients fibroblast growth factor (FGF). The FGF may be acidic FGF (aFGF), basic FGF (bFGF), int-2, hst/KS3, FGF-5, FGF-6 or KGF or a combination thereof. The compositions may also include other protein growth factors or hair growth promoting agents combined with FGF. 17658 TITLE OF THE INVENTION METHOD OF TREATING OR PREVENTING BALDNESS WITH COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR A method of retarding or reversing baldness which comprises the topical application of compositions containing as at least one of its active iningredients fibroblast growth factor (FGF).
