    TLDR The procedure effectively created natural-looking hairlines and improved facial balance in female patients.
    In 2013, a study involving 320 female patients was conducted to evaluate a method for total hairline correction. The procedure, which primarily aimed to change rectangular or M-shaped hairlines to a round shape, involved follicular unit (FU) transplantation. The average correction area was 30.1 cm². The results showed that the procedure was effective in achieving a balanced and attractive face by correcting various areas of the forehead. The study also found that 81% of patients had a widow's peak and 46% had a part-line on the left. The positioning of the part-line, the caliber of donor hair, and the forehead width were crucial for a natural appearance post-surgery. The authors concluded that natural hairlines can be recreated by making multiple peaks and clusters and irregular zigzag lines with single hairs on the frontal hairline and correcting the width of the forehead.

      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.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 6 months 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.

      Hair loss in women is complex to diagnose and treat, and hair restoration should be done by experts. Using minoxidil before surgery can help manage post-surgery hair shock loss. The Follicular Unit Transplantation method is recommended for women due to its speed, no need for shaving, and better graft quality. Strategies like L, T, and reverse L patterns can help restore central hair density, and regenerative methods can improve graft survival in hair transplants.
