LLLT devices for hair loss need more research to define proper guidelines.

PRP shows promise for hair loss treatment, with three initial monthly injections and maintenance every 3-6 months.

Hair transplantation may work for some types of scarring alopecia, but results vary and more research is needed.

No cure for female pattern hair loss, but various effective treatments exist.

Low level laser therapy works best for hair loss, followed by PRP, finasteride, and minoxidil.

The document provides a method to classify human hair growth stages using a model with human scalp on mice, aiming to standardize hair research.

Successful eyebrow restoration can be done using careful hair transplant techniques and choosing the right patients.

Patients with hair loss are much more likely to have body dysmorphic disorder than general dermatology patients.

Finasteride and minoxidil together work best for male hair loss.

Dr. Shoji Okuda's pioneering work on hair transplantation was overlooked and could have significantly advanced the field if recognized sooner.

Hair follicles can help wounds heal faster and this knowledge could be used to treat chronic skin ulcers, with a potential use of a special stem cell hydrogel to enhance healing.

The dermal papilla is crucial for hair growth and health, and understanding it could lead to new hair loss treatments.

We need more research to better understand human hair follicle stem cells for improved treatments for hair loss and skin cancer.

Hair gets thinner and grayer with age, and density decreases more in men on top and in women on top and back.

Hair transplantation is the only permanent solution for female pattern hair loss and can greatly improve quality of life with careful planning.

A cosmetic procedure can lower the hairline by up to 10 cm, with high satisfaction but potential for temporary sensation loss and rare risks.

Hair follicle transplantation can hide scars but often needs more than one surgery for better results.

Hair transplantation might work for some people with frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.

More dermal papilla cells in hair follicles lead to larger, healthier hair, while fewer cells cause hair thinning and loss.

Experienced hair transplant surgeons suggest a limited number of hair follicles can be used for transplants, and recommend conservative methods to avoid scarring and depletion.

Hair restoration surgery has advanced, focusing on natural results and may improve further with new techniques and therapies.

Hair transplantation effectively treated a woman's patchy hair loss when other treatments failed.

Dr. Shoji Okuda's early hair transplantation techniques were rediscovered after being overlooked due to World War II.

Dr. Shoji Okuda was a pioneer in hair transplant surgery, but his work was initially overlooked and is now recognized alongside Dr. Norman Orentreich.

Modern hair transplants use small grafts for a natural look and drugs to prevent further loss, with high patient satisfaction.

A 17-year-old boy with Temporal Triangular Alopecia successfully grew new hair after a hair restoration surgery using follicular unit transplantation.

The document concludes that surgery is a preferred treatment for cicatricial alopecia, with the method chosen based on individual factors and may require multiple sessions and careful postoperative care.

The document concludes that the hair cycle is a complex process involving growth, regression, and rest phases, regulated by various molecular signals.

Hair follicle stem cells helped heal a severe scalp burn without needing traditional skin grafts.

Hair follicle biology advancements may lead to better hair growth disorder treatments.

The research found that for a typical hair density, about 11 square centimeters of donor scalp is needed to get 800 hair grafts for transplantation.

Finasteride safely and effectively treats male pattern hair loss, but may cause reversible sexual issues and harm male fetuses.

Single hair grafting is effective for treating small, localized patches of vitiligo.

The document concludes that good cosmetic outcomes in hair transplantation depend on the surgeon's artistic skill and careful planning.

Mini-micrografting in hair transplants can give similar density to older methods with fewer sessions.

Careful planning and patient counseling can lead to excellent hair transplant results, often in one or two sessions.

Common baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is caused by a combination of genetic factors and hormones called androgens.
