Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hair follicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
community Tiny tiny hairs outlining juvenile hairline
The conversation is about hair regrowth using high-dose dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and microneedling. Users discuss seeing tiny hairs and hope they will become terminal, with advice to use derma rolling weekly for better results.
community Is trichogram a good thing for testing genetic hair loss
A dermatologist checked for hereditary hair loss using blood tests and plans to perform a trichogram. The user had slightly low Vitamin D3 levels, and the trichogram may help confirm androgenetic alopecia.
community This tells you if you're shedding or losing hair (along with other things like fibrosis)
High frequency ultrasonography and HR-MRI can help identify hair shedding causes like inflammation and fibrosis. The conversation discusses the potential of using these technologies to evaluate treatments like Verteporfin for hair regeneration.
community Highly recommend buying a microscope (see pictures)
A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
