Two drugs, finasteride and minoxidil, are approved for hair loss treatment, but new therapies are being developed.

The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

Advancements in tissue engineering show promise for hair follicle regeneration to treat hair loss.

The document concludes that more research is needed on making and understanding biomaterial scaffolds for wound healing.

Follicular Unit Extraction should be limited to preserve donor hair density and avoid side effects.

Follicular Unit Excision (FUE) is a popular, less invasive hair restoration method with high patient satisfaction when done correctly, despite some complications from untrained practitioners.

Using tissue expanders with galeotomies for post-burn alopecia is faster and has fewer complications.

Low-Level Laser Therapy helps heal wounds and regenerate tissue when used correctly.

Hair transplant improves with regenerative medicine and FUE technique.

The modified S pattern for scalp reduction is effective for removing more bald scalp and hiding scars in hair restoration.

Beard hair transplantation is generally satisfying, requires 250-800 grafts, uses FUE to avoid scars, needs careful planning, has some risks, and hair regrowth starts after 4-6 months.

Hair transplantation between identical twins can successfully treat severe, nonprogressive hair loss due to follicular aplasia.

A new surgical technique using vellus hair grafts effectively treated vitiligo without causing unwanted hair growth.

Off-pump heart surgery reduces complications without affecting survival rates compared to on-pump surgery.

Hair follicle stem cells helped heal a severe scalp burn without needing traditional skin grafts.

Nasolabial skin-fat grafts are good for nasal reconstruction with minimal scarring and no need for bolsters, but smoking may affect graft survival.

Mini-micrografting in hair transplants can give similar density to older methods with fewer sessions.

Hair follicle transplantation can hide scars but often needs more than one surgery for better results.

MAFT is a reliable method for forehead contouring with high patient satisfaction and long-term results.

Using buccal mucosa for hypospadias repair in children is effective and reduces complications.

The technique of transplanting micrografts in hair restoration surgery is fast, practical, and efficient, minimizing damage to follicles and grafts.

Tissue expansion for head and neck reconstruction has good blood supply and doesn't need capsule removal, but expect temporary hair loss with normal growth resuming after 6-8 months.

Deep Plane Fixation in scalp surgeries allows for more tissue removal with less tension, leading to better healing and less scarring.

The technique can potentially treat hair loss by using a matrix to grow new hair from cells.

Deep Plane Fixation in scalp surgeries allows for more tissue removal with less tension and minimal scarring.

Bioprinting could improve wound healing but needs more development to match real skin.

The document concludes that good cosmetic outcomes in hair transplantation depend on the surgeon's artistic skill and careful planning.

Condensed nanofat with fat grafts effectively improves atrophic facial scars.

Improving the environment and cell interactions is key for creating human hair in the lab.

Advancements in creating skin grafts with biomaterials and stem cells are promising, but more research is needed for clinical application.
