August 2023 in “Dermatologic Surgery” This study reviewed evidence suggesting that certain types of wounds might stimulate localized hair growth in humans, noting anecdotal reports and mixed efficacy of treatments like microneedling and lasers for androgenetic alopecia, but emphasized that further research is needed.
This study indicates that finasteride use may lower bladder cancer incidence, while androgen suppression therapy improves recurrence-free survival but not other survival outcomes in bladder cancer patients.
This study found that androgen suppression therapy did not significantly reduce bladder cancer incidence overall but suggested finasteride use might lower the risk; recurrence-free survival was improved among AST users.
This study reports that hair mesotherapy can achieve positive clinical outcomes for scalp diseases, particularly when used by expert dermatologists. It is primarily used alongside standard treatments, and as a standalone option only when other treatments are contraindicated or ineffective.
