Glossary Follicle Transection

accidental cutting of hair follicles during transplant surgery

Follicle transection refers to the accidental cutting or damaging of hair follicles during hair transplant surgery. This can occur when the surgical instruments used to extract or implant hair grafts inadvertently sever the follicles, potentially reducing the success rate of the transplant and affecting hair growth outcomes.

community Guaranteed Way to Revive ALL Follicles. Transition, and then Transition Back & Maintain (for Men)

250 upvotes 1 year ago

Transitioning genders humorously suggested for hair regrowth, noting some transgender individuals experience this. Discusses treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and hormone therapy, but advises against transitioning solely for hair regrowth.

community PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells

7 months ago

PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.

community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

112 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

community Transitioning off daily Oral Dutasteride (0.5mg) for long-term (multi-decade) maintenance. Which protocol is best?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 2 months ago

The conversation discusses transitioning from daily oral Dutasteride to a long-term maintenance protocol for hair loss, considering options like oral Finasteride with topical Dutasteride, pulsed oral Dutasteride, and oral Finasteride with topical Finasteride. The consensus suggests maintaining a baseline with daily Finasteride and using Dutasteride twice a week to minimize shedding while reducing systemic exposure.

community Transition protocols from fin to dut
