This study developed and evaluated a photographic scale to assess CCCA pattern and severity in African American women, finding it reproducible when used by investigators and participants.

The researchers presented new, practical photography protocols for hair loss assessment that clinicians can use even without formal medical photography units, aiming to standardize high-quality imaging in both clinical and research settings.

This study suggests that distinct alopecia scoring systems measure percent hair loss as a common underlying feature, with strong correlations observed between different types of hair loss assessments.

This study found that type 2 diabetes was associated with a higher risk of severe central scalp hair loss in African American women.

This study found that using body hair along with scalp hair in hair transplantation can significantly increase visual density and improve coverage in patients with higher grades of androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that thulium laser therapy significantly improved hair regrowth and patient satisfaction in individuals with androgenic alopecia, demonstrating safety and effectiveness with no reported adverse events during short-term evaluation.

This review discusses female pattern hair loss, highlighting that while oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil can arrest progression, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, and stresses the need for ongoing therapy.

In this study, researchers found that bicalutamide was more effective and had a better safety profile than spironolactone for treating female-pattern hair loss in women aged 18 to 50, based on the Sinclair scale and photographic assessments after 24 weeks of treatment.

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.

FUE is better than FUT for mustache reconstruction in cleft lip patients.

The document concludes that dermatology training and grading scales need to better represent dark-skinned individuals to improve diagnosis and assessment of skin conditions.

This study found that hair implantation using a biocompatible polyamide fiber resulted in very satisfactory improvements with a low rate of adverse events among 196 patients.

Gagamhwajung-hwan may effectively treat severe alopecia areata.

In this study, a photographic scale and questionnaire revealed that extensive central scalp hair loss was observed in 5.6% of African American women, with an association to a history of tinea capitis.

This study found that dutasteride increased hair growth metrics significantly more than finasteride in Korean men with AGA, but a meta-analysis suggests no overall significant efficacy difference between the two drugs.

This article discusses using the ImageMeter mobile app to calculate scalp area for PRP treatment in androgenetic alopecia, reporting no new clinical results.

This study found that the scalp coverage scoring (SCS) method is a non-invasive and reproducible technique that effectively measures hair growth and loss dynamics in male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.

This case study found that pharmacopuncture and needle-embedding therapy improved hair loss and physical condition in a woman with androgenetic alopecia, but further clinical studies are needed.

This pilot study found that platelet-rich plasma injections did not improve hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that sub-dermal platelet-rich plasma injections were effective for treating androgenic alopecia among both male and female participants.

This study observed that photobiomodulation therapy may contribute to hair growth stability or improvement in individuals with darker skin types, without reported adverse events, though its findings are limited by a small sample size.

Results are not reported in this letter to the editor on the use of scalp threading with polydioxanone monofilament threads for hair restoration.

This review discusses the evidence for platelet-rich plasma as a promising treatment for androgenetic alopecia, highlighting its potential benefits and favorable safety profile but noting the need for standardized protocols and larger trials.

In this study, a woman's hair loss and physical condition reportedly improved with pharmacopuncture and needle-embedding therapy, but further research is suggested to validate these findings.

In this study, researchers reported that intradermal injections of Dr. SKS hair booster serum improved hair growth and patient satisfaction in individuals experiencing COVID-19-induced persistent telogen effluvium, with increased benefits observed over six months.

This review outlines various clinical methods for assessing ageing skin and discusses their application in supporting the efficacy claims of anti-ageing treatments, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this research, experienced clinicians noted inconsistency in the reproducibility of the commonly used Hamilton-Ludwig scales for assessing pattern hair loss severity in photographic assessments, leading to the proposal of a new 5-point scale for staging female hair loss.

In this study, 13 men with male pattern baldness were rated significantly more attractive and somewhat healthier when wearing a custom-made toupee, with higher attractiveness ratings coming from male judges than female judges.

The InCISE score is a promising tool for assessing wound healing in head and neck surgery but needs more research for broader use.

This study found that, among Indian men aged 50-55 with androgenetic alopecia, 78% of occipital donor areas fitted standard safe donor area criteria, but 22% did not, indicating a need for tailored selection in hair transplants.
