    GlossaryDonor Dominance

    hair follicles retain genetic traits after transplantation

    Donor Dominance refers to the principle in hair transplantation where hair follicles taken from the donor area (usually the back or sides of the scalp) retain their genetic resistance to balding even when transplanted to balding areas. This means that the transplanted hair continues to grow and does not fall out like the original hair in the balding area, making the procedure effective for long-term hair restoration.

      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.

      community 22 years since the last major development

      in Technology  52 upvotes 3 years ago
      The conversation discusses the lack of significant advancements in hair loss treatments since the introduction of finasteride 22 years ago, with many expressing frustration over the failure of new projects and skepticism about future developments. Some users mention hair transplants and other potential alternatives like Alfatradiol and Fluridil, but acknowledge finasteride's dominance in the market due to its effectiveness and affordability.
