TLDR Dermoscopy improves accuracy in predicting treatment success for androgenetic alopecia with the Regenera® protocol.

The study highlighted the importance of dermoscopy in accurately predicting treatment outcomes for androgenetic alopecia using the Regenera® protocol. It was noted that clinical assessments alone, used over 1.5 years, led to incorrect outcome predictions for about 10% of patients. By incorporating scalp dermoscopy into routine diagnostics, the researchers found that expectations for treatment results were often overestimated, suggesting that dermoscopy provided a more reliable method for assessing the potential success of the Regenera® treatment.
