research Follicular Streamers (Stelae) in Scarring and Non-Scarring Alopecia
Hair root sheaths are more common in non-scarring hair loss and help diagnose the type of hair loss.
research Naked Hair Shafts as a Marker of Cicatricial Alopecia
Naked hair shafts are significantly associated with scarring hair loss and may help diagnose it, especially when multiple are found.
research A Pilot Investigation of a Gummy-Based Hair Nutraceutical: Preliminary Efficacy Findings
Xtressé™ gummies may help increase hair growth in women, especially in early hair loss stages.
research Trichoscopic Signs in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Comparative Study with 109 Patients and 305 Healthy Controls
Trichoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring systemic lupus erythematosus, with certain hair and scalp changes indicating more active disease.
research Hair Transplantation in Cicatricial Alopecia: The Role of Autologous Fat Transfer
Autologous fat transfer improves hair growth in scarring alopecia and allows for denser hair transplants.

Dutasteride may not be effective for everyone due to underlying issues, suggesting scalp biopsies for further diagnosis. Users discuss using higher doses of dutasteride, topical treatments, minoxidil, and pyrilutamide for hair loss management.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community Do hair follicles ever really "die"? Or does all your front, mid, and crown hair just become vellus?
Hair follicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.
