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.

Dr. James Harris successfully incorporated Follicular Unit Extraction into his hair restoration practice, offering more surgical options and achieving natural results with the help of a team approach.

Both tissue expansion and serial excision are effective for scar revision in the head and neck area.

Surgical hair restoration has improved since 1959, with new techniques like minigrafts, micrografts, and scalp reductions creating more natural hairlines and reducing bald skin, despite some risks and potential for scarring.

BMP2 needs periosteal tissue to help regenerate mouse middle finger bones within a specific time.

The Juri Temporo-Parieto-Occipital Flap is a good option for scalp reconstruction and hairline restoration with a natural look, despite some risk of necrosis and scarring.

The combined treatment with engineered bacteria and yellow LED light improved wound healing in mice.

Careful planning and technique in upper facial rejuvenation can minimize risks like hair loss, nerve damage, and scarring.

Aging slows wound healing due to weaker cells and immune response.

Skin stem cells were turned into heart cells using a chemical, suggesting a new way to treat heart attacks.

Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition with inflammation and scarring, resembling but distinct from common balding.

Softer hydrogels help wounds heal better with less scarring.

Mice genetically modified to produce more CD109 in their skin had less inflammation and better healing with less scarring.

Tissue expanders effectively repair large scalp defects and restore a natural-looking scalp.

Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

A device was made in 2008 to measure hair loss severity. Other findings include: frizzy mutation in mice isn't related to Fgfr2, C/EBPx marks preadipocytes, Cyclosporin A speeds up hair growth in mice, blocking plasmin and metalloproteinases hinders healing, hyperbaric oxygen helps ischemic wound healing, amniotic membranes heal wounds better than polyurethane foam, rhVEGF165 from a fibrin matrix improves tissue flap viability and induces VEGF-R2 expression, and bFGF enhances wound healing and reduces scarring in rabbits.

Hair transplantation for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may work if the disease is inactive for 2 years and with ongoing treatment to maintain results.

Wound healing is complex and requires more research to enhance treatment methods.

Hair restoration surgery techniques can effectively treat scalp deformities and have evolved to provide natural-looking results.

The document suggests a possible link between mast cells and scarring alopecia, recommending more research for potential treatments.

Platelet-rich plasma may improve healing and hair growth in hair transplant surgery.

Hyaluronic acid-based HA2 hydrogel helps heal skin wounds better with less scarring.

Hair transplantation for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may work if done after the disease is inactive for 2 years and with ongoing treatment after surgery.

Prostaglandin D2 blocks new hair growth after skin injury through the Gpr44 receptor.

Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.

Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.

Wnt1/βcatenin signaling is crucial for heart repair after injury.

The document concludes that recognizing and treating cutaneous lupus erythematosus early is crucial for managing the skin and potential systemic symptoms.

Shrinking skin cancer increases the chance of cancer in nearby lymph nodes.

The document concludes that diagnosing and treating hair loss is complex and requires understanding its psychological effects and underlying causes, while also calling for more research and new treatments.
