    TLDR Hair transplantation might work for some people with frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
    The document discussed the results of test grafting in three patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) to determine if hair transplantation was a viable treatment option. The study was conducted by Clínica Dr. Jiménez-Acosta in Gran Canaria, Spain, and the Department of Pathology at Hospital Reina Sofía in Murcia, Spain. The findings suggested that hair transplantation could be considered for patients with FFA, but the results were limited due to the small sample size of only three patients. Further research with a larger cohort was recommended to validate these preliminary findings.

      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.
