    TLDR Hair transplantation surgery has improved, giving more natural results, and success depends on a skilled team and proper technique.
    The 2008 document on hair transplantation surgery by Manoj Khanna detailed the advancements in the field, particularly the use of follicular unit grafts and the principle of donor dominance, which have led to more natural-looking results in patients. It outlined the process of hair transplantation, including donor and recipient area preparation, graft harvesting and placement, and the importance of hair growth direction. The paper mentioned that sessions could involve transplanting 2000-3000 follicular unit grafts over five to six hours and highlighted postoperative care practices to ensure the best outcomes. Although the document noted that complications are rare, it did not provide specific study data. It concluded by stressing the necessity of a skilled surgical team and proper technique for successful hair replacement surgery.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      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.

      in Update  40 upvotes 3 years ago
      A user had a disappointing dermatologist appointment where they were denied prescriptions for Dutasteride and oral Minoxidil for hair loss and were only offered a hair transplant referral. Other users sympathized, discussed self-medication, and suggested consulting a transplant doctor for up-to-date treatments.
