This review proposes an anatomy-based framework for understanding recipient site scalp necrosis in hair transplantation, emphasizing regional vascular vulnerability and surgical factors, but does not provide new clinical results.
This study found that inadequate thickness of deep dermal tissue in pigs is a key factor leading to fibrosis, with fibrosis likely serving a compensatory function for skin thickness.
A 44-year-old experienced hair regrowth after a snowboarding injury using detox, diet changes, vitamins, collagen, krill oil, and scalp massages, without Minoxidil or finasteride. Another person was skeptical, suggesting these methods may not work for everyone.
A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
Using a dermaroller with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride regrows hair and improves temple areas. Users highlight the benefits of microneedling tools and stress the importance of consistency and proper sanitation.
Topical minoxidil can be dangerous to cats, even with accidental exposure, and users should be cautious to prevent poisoning. Proper precautions, like washing hands and preventing cats from licking treated areas, are essential to minimize risk.
