This review discusses the impact of performance-enhancing substances, like androgenic steroids, on female athletes, particularly focusing on female pattern hair loss and associated physical and psychosocial issues, and highlights the need for further research.

This study at NYU Langone Health suggests that younger patients with androgenetic alopecia may experience greater improvements in hair density with PRP treatment compared to older patients, who might need more sessions for similar results.

Patient-reported hair improvements align with actual hair density changes, not hair width.

This source explores injectable minoxidil as a hair loss treatment, noting its enhanced bioavailability but also the potential for adverse effects and higher costs compared to other formulations, with a call for further research on its efficacy and access relative to alternatives.

Low-dose oral minoxidil alone is effective for treating hair loss, but combining it with dutasteride or finasteride may offer better results.

This letter to the editor discusses blood pressure changes in patients taking low-dose oral minoxidil but reports no new research findings.

This study observed that in a survey of individuals with scarring alopecia, those using chemical treatments or high-tension hairstyles experienced hair loss and alopecia diagnosis at a younger age, while hair dye use was linked to older age at hair loss onset and diagnosis.

This review explores the recent developments and diverse applications of microneedles in drug delivery and diagnostic platforms but reports no new clinical results.

This study reviews the evolution and modifications of microneedle drug delivery systems, initially designed for percutaneous use, now expanded for targeting a variety of tissues and organs such as ocular, oral mucosal, and gastrointestinal, suggesting widespread future applicability.

This review discusses the evolution and development of smart and multifunctional microneedles, highlighting their potential future importance in medical applications, but it reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the design, properties, and potential applications of smart microneedles, with no new clinical results presented.

This article provides an overview of microneedle technology for transcutaneous drug delivery, discussing microneedle designs, materials, and activation methods that enhance drug stability and regulated release, and outlines considerations for their successful clinical implementation, such as biocompatibility and production cost.

This abstract does not provide research results or a summary of findings, but only lists author affiliations and contact information.

This article contains the late-breaking abstracts from the 39th Annual Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery and does not present new research results.

This article reviews immediate post-operative folliculitis, emphasizing its self-limiting nature and differentiation from infective folliculitis, but it reports no new clinical findings.

The document concludes that current hair loss treatments have limitations and suggests researching new treatments targeting different factors of hair loss.

This review examines the potential of swellable microneedles in drug delivery and diagnostics, highlighting innovations and challenges in their use for chronic disease treatment, but noting that issues like physiological responsiveness and long-term stability still require research.

This article discusses the kinetic and topographical heterogeneity in follicular thyroid neoplasms and reports no new research findings; the authors emphasize understanding diverse growth patterns.

This review discusses the potential of microneedles to enhance transdermal drug delivery by expanding the range of deliverable drugs, highlighting fabrication methods, material choices, and applications, but notes existing challenges with sustained delivery, cost-effectiveness, and large-scale production.

This study found that micro-needling with cosmeceuticals or platelet-rich plasma significantly improved wrinkles, skin laxity, scar softening, and hair growth over 12 months, with minimal side effects, and that the best results occur with pigment and platelet massaging between 5 to 30 minutes post-treatment.

This review discusses the development and applications of microneedles, particularly through 3D printing, highlighting their potential in transdermal drug delivery but reporting no new results.

This review describes the expanding medical uses of micropigmentation, including for vitiligo, burn scars, and nipple-areola reconstruction, and highlights safety concerns related to sterilization practices.

Mesotherapy shows promise for cellulite and facial rejuvenation but has mixed results for body sculpting and hair loss, with more research needed for safety and effectiveness.

In this study, a curved nonrotary punch was found to achieve the lowest follicular unit transection rates of less than 5% compared to conventional rotary punches in hair transplantation for patients with tightly curled Afro-textured hair.

This article reviews historical approaches to electrolysis for permanent hair removal and suggests improvements in equipment, but reports no new clinical results.

This study found that chemical lumbar sympathectomy with 5% phenol effectively treated idiopathic livedo reticularis in most patients, offering a potential long-lasting solution with repeatable efficacy upon recurrence.

Using a CO₂ laser for hair transplants improves the surgery and may become important in future hair restoration.

This study found that adjusting CO2 laser parameters to 55 W and 0.1–0.15 seconds improved hair graft survival rates to 80-90% in Oriental hair transplant patients.

This article reviews the negative impact of hair loss on self-esteem and quality of life across cultures without presenting new findings.
