The field of this paper is biotextile material, namely the development of new biotextile material impregnated with succinite suspension for effective cure and preventing hair loss. Hairloss and baldness is a widespread problem. According to statistics, androgenic alopecia on its own eventually affects approximately 50% of the world’s adult population. The aim of this work is explore how organism (mainly skin) responds to textile material impregnated with succinite suspension. In this study, innovative biotextile material namely cotton pads impregnated with suspension of technologically processed Baltic amber (succinite) which contains 3-8 % succinic acid was developed. In vivo tests (Albino Guinea pigs) biotextile material expressed the ability to improve growth of hair follicles. In all test groups the hair follicle count increased. The morphological photos show that there is no tissue damage in epiderm and hypoderm, moreover biotextile materials neither dry the scalp skin nor causing allergic reaction or any other skin irritation. Results show that biotextile material impregnated with succinite suspension is capable of preventing hair loss, so research should be continued with aim to clarify why there are such strong effects of succinite suspension on hair follicles and what are the basic mechanics of biological processes involved.
