This review discusses current treatment challenges and strategies for managing psoriasis in the scalp, nails, and intertriginous areas, emphasizing the need for effective and well-tolerated long-term options, but reports no new clinical results.
A user shared positive 6-month results from a hair transplant in Istanbul, receiving 4,450 grafts for the front and mid scalp and 850 for the crown. The procedure cost approximately €2,990.
Microneedling depth should be customized based on hair type and scalparea, with many users finding 0.5-0.6mm effective for miniaturized hairs to avoid damage. Users report varying pain levels and results, with some preferring shorter needle lengths and others using longer ones like 1.75mm for scalp health and density improvement.
The conversation discusses using topical finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss, focusing on the crown and mid-scalpareas. The user is optimistic about seeing results in 3 to 6 months.
The conversation discusses changes in scalp texture and appearance in areas of hair loss, with concerns about the suitability of these areas for hair transplants. Users mention issues like fibrosis, inflammation, and thinner skin, advising caution and consultation with clinics before proceeding with transplants.
The user shaved their head and noticed darker areas on the scalp despite using finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling. Other users suggest the darkness might be due to bruising or scarring from microneedling and recommend switching to dutasteride.
Can applying a mask with PP405 directly to thinning areas give your scalp the push it needs?No PP405 mask exists to test: PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, it is not an anti-DHT ingredient, and it is not on sale. Its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) measured safety, not regrowth, and a rinse-out mask is in any case the wrong format for reaching the follicle.
Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
