This study reported effective hair growth improvement in androgenic alopecia through subcutaneous injections of platelet-rich plasma, with observed benefits in both women and men.

This study reported that polarized dermoscopy was better for visualizing vascular patterns, scaling, and reticular pigmentation, while nonpolarized mode better documented features like black dots and tapered hair in various hair and scalp conditions.

This mini-review summarizes the Trichoscan as a sensitive tool for measuring hair growth parameters, demonstrating its effectiveness in detecting treatment response in androgenetic alopecia but noting some practical limitations.

This study reports that quantitative trichoscopy, while noninvasive and convenient, provides less accurate hair density data compared to invasive histopathologic examination, which was demonstrated in a sample of adult Chinese individuals without alopecia.

In this study, researchers used trichoscopy to establish standardized findings for normal hair and scalp characteristics in 360 healthy males, noting significant age-related differences in hair diameter variability and identifying potential pathological indicators like colored dots and scarring not present in healthy individuals.

This study found that women with female pattern hair loss had significant hormonal imbalances, specifically involving adrenal androgens, suggesting these may play a central role in the condition's development.

In this reported case, a 13-year-old boy with alopecia areata experienced complete lesion resolution and varied hair regrowth across different laser treatment parameters after three months of combined oral prednisone, topical ointment, and CO2 fractional laser therapy.

This study found fractional carbon dioxide laser therapy effective in treating alopecia areata, both alone and with topical treatments, suggesting decorin's involvement in improving hair growth.

Among female patients experiencing hair loss, this study found telogen effluvium to be the most common type, significantly linked to low ferritin levels, while traction alopecia was more prevalent among those wearing headscarves.

This study found that intralesional triamcinolone acetonide was more effective than saline for hair regrowth in scalp alopecia areata, with 10 mg/mL showing the best response but more side effects.

This case report describes the first instance of classical lichen planopilaris with atrophic lichenoid plaques developing in a Blaschko-linear pattern due to imatinib treatment in a patient with chronic myeloid leukemia.

In this case report, an 8-year-old with severe alopecia areata and atopic dermatitis experienced significant hair regrowth and improved dermatitis symptoms after treatment with dupilumab followed by baricitinib, with no major side effects observed.

In this study, researchers found that a low-cost USB dermoscope can effectively detect microscopic hair changes associated with early female pattern hair loss, making it a useful tool for diagnosis even without expensive equipment or programs.

This study reports three cases of alopecia areata resistant to corticosteroids that improved after 16 weeks of treatment with a combination of fractional carbon dioxide laser and topical tacrolimus, suggesting a potential new therapeutic option that requires further confirmation.

This study found that both buffy coat and apheresis PRP are effective for treating androgenetic alopecia, with buffy coat PRP associated with higher patient-reported improvement despite lower platelet counts.

This study found that combining fractional ablative erbium YAG laser with minoxidil led to slightly better dermoscopy scores than minoxidil alone in male patients with moderate to severe androgenetic alopecia, although no significant difference was observed in photography scores between the two groups.

This study found that dermoscopy can help differentiate between types of diffuse alopecia in females, with yellow dots common in telogen effluvium and hair diameter diversity over 20% significant in female androgenetic alopecia.

This article discusses various aspects of hair and scalp health, ancient philosophical perspectives on hair, and causes of hair disorders in children, without reporting new clinical results.

Single-needle radiofrequency is effective and safe for treating facial sebaceous hyperplasia.

This review discusses the use of trichoscopy for diagnosing alopecia and reports no new clinical results, emphasizing its role in identifying vascular and follicular features.

This study found that microneedling combined with either topical vitamin D3 or bimatoprost was more effective for hair regrowth in localized alopecia areata than microneedling alone, though differences between the two additives disappeared after three months.

In this study, dermoscopic examination of COVID-19 patients revealed significant microvascular changes in the proximal nailfold, such as avascular areas and disorganized capillary architecture, compared to healthy controls, with some regression of these changes observed over time.

This study identified distinct clinical and dermatoscopic features to differentiate non-scarring patchy alopecia in SLE from alopecia areata, emphasizing the value of serological tests in diagnosis.

This study found that pumpkin seed oil significantly improved hair parameters in females with pattern hair loss, demonstrating potential as a treatment comparable to minoxidil 5% foam.

In this study involving 13 patients with vitiligo-associated leukotrichia, minimal hair repigmentation was observed following treatment with fractional CO₂ laser and topical betamethasone, though the method was well tolerated, highlighting the need for further research to optimize treatment parameters.

This study found that isotretinoin therapy at 0.5 mg/kg per day does not significantly alter hair growth parameters in patients with moderate-severe acne vulgaris over a three-month period.

This study found that 675 nm laser treatment improved androgenetic alopecia in Indian patients, resulting in significant increases in hair count, density, and thickness after 14 sessions, enhancing the anagen phase and other hair-related parameters.

In this study, 14 sessions of 675 nm laser stimulation significantly improved hair count, density, and thickness in Indian patients with androgenetic alopecia, with an increase of around 17% in hair parameters over four months.

In this open uncontrolled study on microneedling as an adjuvant therapy for frontal fibrosing alopecia, researchers observed stable frontotemporal recession measurements while patients reported improvements in quality of life and a reduction in inflammatory activity parameters.

This case report describes a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with temporal triangular alopecia, emphasizing the importance of clinical and dermoscopic examination for correct diagnosis due to the condition's rarity and risk of misdiagnosis.
