This study found that negative pressure wound therapy combined with skin grafting is a feasible method for treating soft tissue and skin defects in cats, achieving a high graft take rate and satisfactory outcomes.
The user is concerned their hair transplant with 1500 grafts may have failed after 10 months, despite using 5% topical minoxidil and 1mg oral finasteride since 2023. Others suggest waiting until 18 months for full results and considering additional treatments like PRP or dutasteride.
Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.
Scalp tension from the occipitalis muscle is theorized to contribute to hair loss, but most believe DHT and genetics are the main causes. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are considered more effective than addressing scalp tension.
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Propecia, Rogaine, Nizoral shampoo, and dermarolling. Users shared experiences and results, with some noticing improvements in hair growth and maintenance.
