    TLDR Hair restoration should include the parietal eminence area for better balance in frontal and lateral profiles and to improve the head's contours.
    The study emphasizes the aesthetic importance of the parietal eminence area (posterior parietal triangle) in hair restoration procedures. Traditionally, hair transplantation focuses on the frontal and mid-scalp areas, with the vertex being the last priority. However, as hair loss progresses, patients may show noticeable baldness in the parietal eminence area. The researchers argue that this area should be treated as an extension of the mid-scalp area during transplantation. They modified their transplantation procedure to include the parietal eminence area, which resulted in good hair coverage and satisfied patients. The study concludes that hair transplantation of the parietal eminence is a valuable method to maintain balance in the frontal and lateral profiles and restore the head's contours, providing indirect cosmetic benefit to the vertex in cases of limited donor availability.

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
