April 2018 in “Molecular Medicine Reports” This study found that BeauTop, a supplement containing several traditional Chinese herbs, may promote hair growth in mice with alopecia, potentially by modulating EGF and FGF-7 levels.
December 2022 in “Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Pathology.” This study found that applying photobiomodulation therapy after septoplasty helped reduce pain and mitigate changes in the autonomic nervous system compared to those who did not receive the therapy.
January 2026 in “Journal of Clinical Practice and Research” This study observed that bitemporal alopecia often coincides with conditions such as androgenetic alopecia, seborrheic dermatitis, and telogen effluvium. The researchers suggest bitemporal hair loss could help predict and monitor these associated hair diseases.
