LOHS AU is a topical "hair inhibitor" which costs $290.00
for a 15 ml bottle. They make all sorts of unsubstantiated claims.
A new drug called LOHS AU has been brought to my attention
by a reader. The manufacturer makes unsubstantiated claims about
affecting hair growth structures in the skin permanently.
The email below came to a reader, which contains similar promotional
claims from the website below:
http://www.lohs.biz/lohsau.htm
“A revolutionary new product, LOHS AU, delivers permanent
reduction of hair.”
“retards future growth of vellus (fine hair) hair in
1 application “
“reduces future growth of terminal hair (thicker hair)”
http://www.lohs.biz/hair_removal.htm
“LOHS AU is a hair growth inhibitor that affects the
follicle by changing the PH balance of the moisture gradient
in the follicle and slows down the blood flow to the area,
which in turn can stop future hair growth on light vellus
hair. Terminal (thicker and darker) hairs must be treated
numerous times to achieve the same outcome.”
It also appears there may be a medical device involved called
LOHS-Phoresis:
http://www.lohs.biz/chemistry.htm
“LOHS-Phoresis is a machine that utilizes positive ions
and forces the LOHS AU product into deeper areas of the follicle,
which in turn helps reduce the number of hairs that can grow
in the treated area.”
I believe these may be violative claims as described in the
Food Drug and Cosmetics Act. I am also concerned because this
product is being sold for $290.00 for 15 milliliters.

Their site also lists an unpublished, uncontrolled study claiming
the product “has been shown to slow and permanently disable
re-growth... after only one or two treatments.”

No FDA approval, exorbitant price, no listing of active ingredients,
and apparently violative claims combine to make LOHS AU a product
worthy of a warning letter from FDA.
