platelet-rich plasma androgenic alopecia hair transplantation hair regeneration skin lesion PRP

TLDR Combining hair transplantation with PRP is more effective for treating hair loss than hair transplantation alone.

This study investigated the effectiveness of combining hair transplantation with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for treating androgenic alopecia in 147 patients. Of these, 72 received the combination treatment, while 75 underwent only hair transplantation. Results showed that the treatment group experienced significantly smaller areas of hair loss, lower hair pulling test scores, higher hair regeneration scores, and reduced skin lesion areas compared to the control group. The study concludes that the combination of hair transplantation and PRP is superior to hair transplantation alone, suggesting promising potential for clinical applications in treating androgenic alopecia.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

nkrata in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

Hair loss treatments discussed include Dutasteride with Ketoconazole, tissue engineering strategies, and androgenetic alopecia therapies. Massage doubles follicular retention, improving treatment effectiveness.

community Debunking Androgenetic Theory (Hair Transplants)

in Research/Science 25 upvotes 2 years ago

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

in Treatment 28 upvotes 7 months ago

The conversation covers aggressive hair regrowth treatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. It also mentions PRP, laser therapy, GHK-Cu injections, and hormone therapy for maximum regrowth.

community SCUBE3 and GT20029 could be the closet thing to a cure: Hair Follicle Regeneration and Protection Against DHT

in Research/Science 14 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

community My derm said they came up with a new serum that is better then fin? What’s y’all’s thoughts

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 month ago

A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
