In Vivo Confocal Microscopy for Automated Detection of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction: A Study Based on Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.

A user created a web app called TrichoMetrics to track hair loss using photos and metrics like density and thinning. The app supports tracking treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride, with features for setting baselines, comparing progress, and logging treatment adherence.

The conversation is about using micro needling and PTD-DBM for hair loss treatment. The user applies PTD-DBM drops on weekdays and performs micro needling weekly.

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.

A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.

Microneedling combined with latanoprost may convert vellus hairs to transitional or terminal hairs. The user suggests using oral minoxidil to increase vellus hair, then applying a high concentration of latanoprost with microneedling for conversion.
