Glossary Hair Growth Induction

process of stimulating dormant hair follicles to produce hair

Hair Growth Induction refers to the process of stimulating dormant hair follicles to start producing hair again. This can be achieved through various methods such as medications, laser therapy, or microneedling, which aim to activate the biological pathways that promote hair follicle activity and hair shaft production.

learn Hair Transplant

Can PRP be combined with a hair transplant? Providers routinely offer PRP alongside a hair transplant and most say it speeds healing and supports graft survival; the published human studies are small and mixed, so the size of any benefit is unsettled.
What are the advantages of DHI hair transplantation? Clinics promote DHI for fast recovery, natural-looking results and minimal invasiveness; these are the sellers' claims, and DHI is still surgery with the usual risks of infection, scarring and poor graft growth.
What are the risks and side effects of FUE hair transplants? Providers describe most FUE side effects, such as swelling, redness, numbness and shock loss, as temporary, but FUE is surgery and the same sources report pain, infection, folliculitis and small permanent donor-site scars. Longer-lasting problems, including visible donor-area thinning or poor graft growth, are possible and are not covered by this provider survey.

learn Follistatin

glycoprotein that inhibits TGF-β and promotes hair growth by antagonizing activin

What is follistatin, and how does it influence hair follicle growth and regeneration? Follistatin blocks activin and related growth-inhibiting proteins, which in laboratory and animal work is described as keeping hair follicles in their growth phase; the only verifiable human evidence is a single small 2011 phase 1 injection trial, so follistatin remains experimental and is not an approved hair-loss treatment.
