    TLDR Hyaluronic acid fillers for temporal lifting can cause hair loss without scarring.
    The study investigates nonscarring alopecia as a complication of the posterior temple lifting technique using hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. Six patients experienced significant hair loss due to compromised blood flow in the superficial temporal artery, despite treatments like hyaluronidase injections and platelet-rich plasma sessions. Hair regrowth began 3 to 4 months post-procedure. The findings emphasize the need for caution and further research into the vascular effects of this cosmetic technique, as brief vascular occlusion can lead to anagen effluvium and subsequent hair loss.

      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.

      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
