    GlossaryOptical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

    non-invasive imaging technique using light waves for tissue cross-sections

    Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses light waves to take cross-sectional pictures of tissues, such as the retina in the eye or skin layers. It provides high-resolution images that help in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and even skin disorders, making it a valuable tool in both ophthalmology and dermatology.

      The user experienced hair regrowth using topical finasteride 1% and minoxidil 5% over four months, with no side effects and improved hair density. They initially experienced shedding, which was followed by regrowth, and they stopped dermarolling due to concerns about damaging new growth.

      A 30-year-old man has been treating his hair loss with 5% Minoxidil foam, a combination of 0.3% Finasteride and 6% Minoxidil at night, weekly dermastamping with 1.5 mm needles, and 1% ketoconazole shampoo 2-3 times a week for four months. He is asking for opinions on his hair regrowth and whether he can expect full recovery of his crown.

      The conversation is about a 27-year-old male using 1mg of finasteride and 5mg of minoxidil daily for hair loss, noticing slow improvement. He is unsure if using a dermaroller will help while on oral minoxidil.
