research Human scalp hair: geometry, biochemistry, growth parameters and mechanical characteristics

January 2016 in “Belarusian State Pedagogical University repository (Belarusian State Pedagogical University)”

This research suggests that geometric classification of hair into fewer groups may be more reliable and useful for studying hair characteristics, rather than racial descriptions, especially in medical and forensic applications.

research Evaluation of biophysical skin parameters and assessment of hair growth in patients with acne treated with isotretinoin

37 citations , January 2013 in “Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii”

This article discusses isotretinoin for severe acne vulgaris, noting its effectiveness but also highlighting significant side effects on skin, mucous membranes, and hair; it reports no new clinical results.

research Validation of TrichoScan® technology as a fully-automated tool for evaluation of hair growth parameters

38 citations , May 2009 in “European journal of dermatology/EJD. European journal of dermatology”

This study found that the TrichoScan method for evaluating hair loss showed excellent correlation with manual marking and provided more consistent, reproducible results with less variability and operator error.

research TrichoScan®: A useful method for measuring hair growth parameters and enhancing patient selection for hair restoration surgery

1 citations , March 2009 in “Hair transplant forum international”

This article reviews optimal patient selection and donor site quality for successful hair transplant procedures, but reports no new clinical findings.

community Follica Microneedling Protocol Patent Disclosed

9 upvotes 6 years ago

Follica's preferred microneedling protocol for hair growth, which includes needle depth, frequency and movement parameters as well as the use of topical treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride.

community Hair Growth Caps and Helmets Research

32 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth caps and helmets using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) show potential for treating androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed. Users often combine these devices with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for better results.

community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?

in Research/Science 46 upvotes 6 months ago

Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.

community Scalp over skull massage and low hanging fruits of the basement: a cure?

in Research/Science 35 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp massages may improve hair growth, with noticeable results in a few months. The technique involves detaching the skin from the skull, similar to detumescence therapy, and may be combined with other treatments for better results.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint; there is no placebo-controlled evidence that it regrows hair, and none at all in alopecia areata or telogen effluvium.

learn Lavender

Does lavender promote hair growth or just soothe an irritated scalp? Lavender may promote hair growth and soothe an irritated scalp.

learn Bimatoprost

Can a lash-growth serum like bimatoprost actually work for your scalp? Bimatoprost (Latisse) is approved for eyelashes, not the scalp; two Allergan phase 2 trials in men with androgenetic alopecia posted results to ClinicalTrials.gov but were never published in a peer-reviewed journal, so scalp use remains off-label and experimental.

learn Dexpanthenol

Does dexpanthenol promote hair growth? Dexpanthenol improves hair moisture and strength but does not directly promote hair growth.

learn horsetail extract

How does horsetail extract support hair growth — is it the silica, the antioxidants, or both? Horsetail extract supports hair growth primarily through its silica content.
