TLDR Adipose-derived stem cells show promise for cosmetic treatments but need more research.

Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) exhibit regenerative properties that hold potential for cosmetic treatments and addressing age-related changes. They are applied in treating senescent skin changes, restoring subcutaneous adipose layers, addressing photoaging, improving hypertrophic scars, and promoting hair regeneration in early androgenic alopecia. Despite their promise, more clinical research is necessary to confirm their effectiveness, determine optimal dosages, and establish the best methods of administration. ADSCs are becoming an important tool in cellular-based esthetic therapies.

community Can we have a thread that summarizes all treatments options in addition to the big 3 which we have some evidence for, their mechanism of action and whether they can be combined with the big 3(other than dermarolling)?

in Treatment 52 upvotes 6 years ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known three, focusing on separating effective treatments from myths. Dutasteride and low-dose oral Minoxidil are mentioned as having clinical evidence for increasing hair counts, but with potential side effects.

community My opinions on hair treatment right now and in future

in Treatment 22 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, and topical antiandrogens are effective for hair regrowth. Future treatments may include CB0301 and hair cloning.

community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies

in Research 692 upvotes 4 months ago

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.
