research Interpolated Melolabial Flaps: Reconstruction of Alar and Columellar Units
Using cheek skin and cartilage grafts for nose reconstruction after skin cancer surgery can maintain shape and function but may require multiple surgeries and hair removal in men.
research Advances in Surgical Hair Restoration
Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.
research Deciphering principles of morphogenesis from temporal and spatial patterns on the integument
The conclusion is that skin and hair patterns are formed by a mix of cell activities, molecular signals, and environmental factors.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 2000 beard graft extracted with no visible scar
A user shared their experience with a beard-to-scalp hair transplant, noting no visible scars and improved hair density using finasteride and minoxidil. The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalp hair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community 17 months dut + min + 2800 grafts (5 months)
The user shared progress on hair restoration using dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and 2800 grafts, noting significant improvement in hair thickness and coverage. They discussed the importance of continuing DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride post-transplant to prevent further hair thinning.
community 3 surgery total 7600 Grafts surgery journey
A person had three hair transplant surgeries using 7,600 grafts from scalp, beard, and chest, along with finasteride and minoxidil. Reactions are mixed, with suggestions for alternatives like hair systems or scalp micropigmentation.
community 1600 grafts (~5500 hairs) | 10 month results
The user received 1600 hair grafts but is dissatisfied and plans a second transplant for better coverage. They use minoxidil and finasteride and are considering adding dutasteride.
