research Hair Diameter Variation in Different Vertical Regions of the Occipital Safe Donor Area

10 citations , July 2017 in “Archives of Plastic Surgery”

This study found that hair diameter varies significantly within the occipital safe donor area, with thicker hair in the upper sections and thinner hair in the lower sections.

Innovative Modified Hair Follicle Harvesting Technique with Reverse Rake Scalp Elevator for Lower Occipital Donor Area in Follicular Unit Extraction Hair Transplantation

research Innovative modified hair follicle harvesting technique with reverse rake scalp elevator for lower occipital donor area in follicular unit extraction hair transplantation

1 citations , September 2016 in “Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery”

This article describes a modified follicular unit extraction technique using a reverse rake scalp elevator, which may reduce follicular transection rates in hair transplantation from the lower occipital donor region.

research A cross‐sectional study of hair parameters in the occipital region of male pattern hair loss

June 2024 in “Skin Research and Technology”

This study found that patients with severe male pattern hair loss had lower hair density in the occipital region compared to those with mild or moderate cases.

research Occipital donor area grading and profile in Indian population

April 2023 in “Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery”

In this study, researchers analyzed the occipital donor area for hair transplantation among men aged 50–55 with androgenetic alopecia and found that while most subjects met standard safe donor area criteria, individual variations suggest a conservative approach to donor area selection.

community Does DHT Cause Complete Baldness?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair cloning technology is advancing, with clinical trials for improved methods expected by 2028 and 2029, potentially offering a solution for hair loss if donor follicles remain. Organtech's expansion into other biotech areas may secure funding, but the effectiveness of cloning depends on the availability of androgen-resistant donor follicles.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community new hair out of nowhere 3 weeks post HT! no meds, no vitamins, just growth
