research Oral minoxidil treatment for hair loss: A review of efficacy and safety
Oral minoxidil promotes hair growth but may cause side effects; needs monitoring.
research The effectiveness of combination therapies for androgenetic alopecia: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Combination therapies work better than single treatments for hair loss.
research Hair Loss and Hair Restoration in Women
Hair loss in women is complex to diagnose and treat, and hair restoration should be done by experts. Using minoxidil before surgery can help manage post-surgery hair shock loss. The Follicular Unit Transplantation method is recommended for women due to its speed, no need for shaving, and better graft quality. Strategies like L, T, and reverse L patterns can help restore central hair density, and regenerative methods can improve graft survival in hair transplants.
