This manuscript describes a proposed ‘trichoscopy-assisted hair pull test’ that enhances the diagnosis of hair loss conditions by allowing immediate examination of proximal hair shafts and roots in patients with a positive hair pull test.

This case study reports that a 14-year-old female with loose anagen hair syndrome and trichotillomania initially improved with topical minoxidil and counseling, but relapsed after a year, highlighting treatment challenges.

This study found that low ferritin levels are associated with higher telogen ratios in women with diffuse hair loss, suggesting an important role of ferritin in telogen effluvium diagnosis.

In this review, the authors explored current and novel treatment options for androgenetic alopecia, noting both FDA-approved pharmacologic treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride and various non-pharmacologic and surgical methods, including hair transplantation and scalp micro-pigmentation.

This review highlights that recent advancements in diagnostics and therapies, including AI-enhanced imaging, biomarker analysis, and novel treatments like low-dose oral minoxidil and JAK inhibitors, are improving the precision and customization of hair loss management.

This study found that PRP therapy resulted in better hair growth and patient satisfaction than minoxidil therapy in men with androgenetic alopecia over six months, and patients with higher platelet counts in PRP experienced greater improvement.

This study found that in the Thai population, hair density varies by scalp location and decreases with age, and that Asians generally have lower hair density compared to Caucasian and African populations.

This study found that the modified wash test was generally more effective than TrichoScan® for diagnosing hair loss, particularly telogen effluvium, though both methods showed only fair concordance with clinical diagnosis.

In this observational study, hair density was found to vary with age, as measured in subjects from a dermatology outpatient department, with males showing a mean unit density of 104.78 and females 108.36.

Loose anagen hair syndrome in children may improve with age, but treatment results vary.

This review examines the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and diagnosis of female pattern hair loss and reports no new results.

Trichoscopy helped diagnose a teenage girl's hair loss as monilethrix.

This study found that platelet-rich plasma therapy led to significantly increased hair growth and density compared to placebo in patients with androgenic alopecia over six months.

This review examines male androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results, offering insights to aid dermatologists in making informed therapeutic decisions.

This article discusses various treatments for androgenetic alopecia and reports no new clinical results, noting the condition's aesthetic and psychological impact.

In this 10-patient exploratory study, the researchers found that topical application of 4-aminopyridine 5% combined with microneedling did not improve hair density or quality in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting limited efficacy in this context despite promising results in animal wound models.

In this study, Arab hair was found to have a higher thickness and lower density compared to other ethnicities, suggesting these factors should be considered in diagnosing and treating hair issues in Arabs.

This study found that combining poly-l-lactic acid microthread therapy with minoxidil improved hair density and appearance more effectively than minoxidil alone in women with androgenetic alopecia.

In this study, researchers suggest that hair follicle miniaturization in conditions like androgenetic alopecia may result from impaired conversion of quiescent stem cells to progenitor cells, influenced by the follicular niche, its collagen network, and various mechanical constraints.

This review discusses strategies to identify, prevent, and manage complications in FUE and reports no new clinical results.

This review summarizes late-breaking abstracts from the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery, 2018, and reports no new clinical findings.

This article reviews treatment approaches for cicatricial alopecia, describing how medication efficacy varies and suggesting autologous hair transplantation for stable cases; no new clinical data are presented.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy is effective in increasing hair density and reducing hair loss for alopecia, with variations in response based on activation status.

This study found that dermis micrografting improved hair growth and density in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 4, 6, and 12 months, suggesting it could be a novel treatment option.

PRP might help with hair growth and skin rejuvenation, but more research is needed to prove its effectiveness.

In this case report, a 28-year-old male with androgenetic alopecia showed improved hair density and shaft thickness after four monthly sessions of autologous growth factor concentrate injections, with no adverse effects and high patient satisfaction, suggesting the treatment’s promise as a safe and effective option.

This study found that hair treated with a supplemental hair care product showed significantly higher absorption, deeper penetration, and reduced dryness compared to untreated and water-treated hair, as measured with 3D Raman spectroscopy.

This review article discusses ultrasound's potential as a non-invasive tool for diagnosing and treating hair disorders, highlighting its advantages in visualizing scalp structures and enhancing drug delivery, while noting the need for standardized protocols and further research to optimize its clinical application.

This review summarizes existing knowledge on diffuse and patterned alopecia, emphasizing recent advancements in treatment beyond FDA-approved options, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This article explains the FUE technique for hair transplantation, its associated risks and complications, and outlines a protocol for maxillofacial surgeons, but reports no new clinical results.
