Beard to scalphair transplants can provide 12,000-15,000 grafts for coverage, with fast recovery time. However, beard hair may grow curly and not suitable for frontal areas.
A user shared their experience with a beard-to-scalphair transplant, noting no visible scars and improved hairdensity using finasteride and minoxidil. The conversation discusses the differences between beard and scalphair, potential changes in hair texture, and the use of beard hair for increased scalp coverage.
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
The conversation discusses the possibility of transplanting leg and arm hair to the scalp for hair loss treatment. Minoxidil is mentioned as a potential aid for hair growth, but concerns about the effectiveness and appearance of body hair on the head are raised.
A user has been treating hair loss with finasteride for two years without success and is experiencing an itchy scalp with seborrhea. Despite low DHT levels, they are still losing hair, suggesting that DHT might not be the main cause of their hair loss, and they are considering other treatments or causes.
