June 2018 in “The Medical Journal of Cairo University/The Medical Journal of Cairo University” This study found that dermoscopy is effective for distinguishing Tinea Capitis from Alopecia Areata by identifying unique trichoscopic features specific to each condition.
January 2014 in “Sen i Gakkaishi” In this study, liposome-encapsulated thioglycolic acid improved hair perming by enhancing the penetration of perm solutions, resulting in a stronger S-shaped wave and higher cysteine content compared to the control.
October 2012 in “Ain-Shams Journal of Surgery” This study found that inserting follicular units in a specific direction during hair restoration surgery did not improve natural-looking outcomes, as hair could be styled freely with regular combing.
January 2012 in “Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers (P) Ltd. eBooks” Various surgical methods for hair restoration, like scalp reconstruction and tissue expansion, have been developed, but follicular unit transplant remains the most common procedure for correcting pattern baldness.
July 1998 in “Dermatologic Surgery” Various techniques and tools for hair restoration were presented in 1998, including a mathematical model for donor area, use of lasers in surgery, methods for controlling grafted hair direction, and ways to increase graft yield. Satisfaction rates were around 39%, and studies showed trauma and dehydration can damage hair follicles.
June 1997 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery” This article discusses two donor site reharvesting methods that may allow further hair restoration sessions and improve donor scar aesthetics but reports no new clinical results.
November 1994 in “The Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology” This article in the Journal of Dermatologic Surgery and Oncology provides no abstract or new findings, thus detailing is unavailable.
