research Perifollicular Elastolysis: A Systematic Review of Clinical Characteristics, Histopathology, and Therapeutic Outcomes
This review examines the clinicopathologic features of perifollicular elastolysis and indicates that, while its presentation is consistent, there is a lack of high-certainty evidence for effective treatments.

5 / 12 resultscommunity My donor hair is still red after a year and a half.
The conversation is about a user experiencing redness and tingling in the donor area after a hair transplant, with suggestions to use treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil. Other users recommend consulting a doctor, considering scalp micro pigmentation, or using body hair for future transplants.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community 8 months on oral minoxidil. No sign of regrowth.
The user has been taking 2mg oral minoxidil and 1mg finasteride but has seen no hair regrowth after 8 months, leading to concerns about being a non-responder. They are considering increasing the minoxidil dosage or switching to dutasteride, while also using keto shampoo and microneedling, but remain skeptical about the effectiveness of minoxidil.
community Why do I see so many people here recommend microneedling?
The efficacy of microneedling for hair regrowth as either a stand-alone therapy or adjunct to Minoxidil, and whether Tretinoin is a safer and more effective option. Replies include personal accounts from users who have had success with microneedling in combination with minoxidil and peptide serums, as well as considerations of technique, depth, and potential scarring.
community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?
Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.

6 / 801 results- Why can't I see my scalp micropigmentation after a week? Initial fading of scalp micropigmentation is normal and density improves with subsequent sessions.
- Does scalp micropigmentation cause hair loss? Scalp micropigmentation does not cause hair loss and is a cosmetic treatment.
- What happens if my hair turns gray after scalp micropigmentation? Gray hair can blend well with scalp micropigmentation, and touch-ups can adjust pigment as needed.
- Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
- Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.

learn Hair Transplant
Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
