Monitoring Response to Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Alopecia Areata Using Optical Coherence Tomography: A Case Series

research Monitoring Response to Platelet-Rich Plasma in Patients with Alopecia Areata with Optical Coherence Tomography: A Case Series

1 citations , October 2020 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”

This study found that platelet-rich plasma treatment increased hair density and reduced inflammation in patients with patchy alopecia areata, but not in a patient with alopecia universalis.

Optical Characteristics of LEDs for Scalp Care with Effects of Malassezia Sympodialis Inhibition and HFDPC Activation

research Optical Characteristics of LEDs for Scalp Care with Effects of M. sympodialis Inhibition and HFDPC Activation

1 citations , January 2019 in “Journal of The Korean Institute of Illuminating and Electrical Installation Engineers”

This study found that LEDs at specific wavelengths may improve antifungal performance and promote hair growth by activating scalp cells without inducing inflammation compared to a non-irradiated group.

Confocal Microscopy and Optical Coherence Tomography of Inflammatory Skin Diseases in Hairs and Pilosebaceous Units: A Systematic Review

research Confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography of inflammatory skin diseases in hairs and pilosebaceous units: A systematic review

May 2023 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that both reflectance confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography can visualize detailed hair follicle abnormalities in various skin disorders, but larger, higher-quality studies are needed for clinical implementation.

research Optimal laboratory testing protocol for patients with acne taking oral isotretinoin

9 citations , April 2023 in “World Journal of Clinical Cases”

community Anyone here have experience with ferritin level and hair?

in Treatment 4 upvotes 6 months ago

Low ferritin levels can affect hair density, and increasing ferritin through iron supplements may help with regrowth. It's suggested to maintain ferritin levels between 70-100 ng/mL and check other micronutrients for optimal hair health.

community Vitamin D slight temple regrowth

111 upvotes 6 months ago

Vitamin D supplementation may have led to slight hair regrowth and density improvement. Other treatments discussed include finasteride, minoxidil, and maintaining optimal vitamin D levels.

community Dutasteride likely reduces Bone Mineral Density

in Research/Science 5 months ago

Dutasteride may reduce bone mineral density, but there's no increased risk of osteoporosis or fractures compared to finasteride. Users suggest resistance training to counter potential bone effects.

community 3 months on finasteride and hair density IS decreasing

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 43 upvotes 5 months ago

Finasteride can cause initial hair shedding as part of the treatment process, which is normal and often leads to regrowth of healthier hair. Users discuss experiencing multiple shedding phases and emphasize patience, as results can take several months to become noticeable.

community So whats the consensus for Microneedling Routines?

in Microneedling 7 upvotes 2 years ago

Optimal microneedling routine is 1.25mm once a week with Dr Pen 36 needles. Applying Minoxidil right after microneedling may increase systemic absorption risk.

How many sessions will I need for a hair transplant? Providers give different answers, and the number is decided at consultation: some clinics quote courses of 3 to 6 sessions, but that pattern belongs to non-surgical treatments rather than to surgery. Ask your surgeon how many procedures your own case would need and how far apart they would be.
