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.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
