research The Association Between Scalp Laxity, Elasticity, and Glidability and Donor Strip Scar Width in Hair Transplantation—A New Elasticity Measuring Method
This abstract discusses the importance of thoroughly evaluating donor area characteristics like hair density and scalp elasticity in planning hair transplantation, but it reports no new research findings.
research Letter
Transplanting chest hair into scalp scars may effectively treat wide donor scars in hair restoration.
research Association Between Scalp Laxity, Elasticity, and Glidability and Donor Strip Scar Width in Hair Transplantation and a New Elasticity Measuring Method
This study observed that donor strip scar width after hair transplantation was correlated with preoperative scalp laxity and elasticity but not with glidability.
research The surgical treatment of cicatricial alopecia
This article proposes two new categories of cicatricial alopecia—“unstable” and “stable”—and suggests surgical excision as preferred over hair transplantation, especially for unstable cases.

A user underwent a 3750 graft hair transplant in Turkey, initially promised 4500 grafts, and is satisfied with the results despite some concerns about donor site size and crown coverage. The user has been on medications like finasteride and minoxidil for about four months and may consider a second transplant in the future.
community Topical Metformin for Hair Transplant donor area skin/hair regeneration?
Topical Metformin shows potential for regenerating hair follicles and minimizing scarring in hair transplant donor areas, similar to Verteporfin but without its side effects. The discussion suggests considering Metformin for post-hair transplant care, though more human trials are needed.
community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
community What is the deal with "longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation"
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to maintain hair production and potentially increasing transplant yield. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or remains theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
community Dr. Bloxham Final verteporfin update
Verteporfin is being explored for its potential to improve hair transplant outcomes by reducing scarring and increasing donor hair follicles. There is skepticism about the results, with some claiming misleading presentation of evidence.
