What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation" 12/21/2019
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.

Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to maintain hair production and potentially increasing transplant yield. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or remains theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
community Using facial landmarks and IPD normalization for longitudinal hairline tracking
A user is developing an app called Follicle to track hairline changes using facial landmarks and inter-pupillary distance for standardization. The app aims to provide a more consistent way for consumers to monitor hairline changes over time.
community Oral min 2.5mg vs 5mg? Is the higher dose worth it?
Oral minoxidil 2.5mg is generally as effective as 5mg for hair loss with fewer side effects, making it a preferred starting dose. Some users experience side effects like dizziness and water retention at 5mg, and switching to topical minoxidil or combining it with finasteride is suggested for better results.
community When counting hairs, should I be including vellus/baby hairs?
The conversation is about whether vellus hair should be included in hair fall counts, with data showing daily hair loss. The consensus is that shedding, including vellus hair, is normal and within physiological limits.
