Botulinum Toxin Type A Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia MMP technique Microinfusion of drugs through the skin follicular density inflammatory process Botox FFA MMP

TLDR Botulinum Toxin Type A delivered through the skin may be a promising treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia.

The document presents a case study of a patient with early-stage Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA), a disease with unknown causes and no cure. The patient underwent three monthly sessions of treatment with 30 units of Botulinum Toxin Type A, delivered via the MMP® (Microinfusion of drugs through the skin) technique. The treatment resulted in a significant improvement in the patient's condition, inhibiting the inflammatory process and noticeably increasing follicular density in the treated area. This suggests that Botulinum Toxin Type A delivered via MMP® could be a promising therapeutic approach for FFA.

community If Minoxidil Beards are permanent, why should Finasteride be unable to keep Minoxidil Gains on the scalp?

in Minoxidil 104 upvotes 1 year ago

Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
