research Improved Scalp Reduction Results with Prolonged Acute Tissue Expansion (PÂTÉ)

6 citations , September 1995 in “The American Journal of Cosmetic Surgery”

This study found that prolonged acute tissue expansion notably increased the amount of scalp tissue removed during scalp reduction surgery in three patients.

research Platelet-rich gel versus external tissue expansion technique in treating scalp defects: A retrospective study

December 2023 in “Medicine”

This study observed that platelet-rich gel for scalp defect reconstruction was more cost-effective and less painful but resulted in poorer hair growth compared to the external tissue expansion technique.

research Long-Term Multimodal Reconstruction of Extensive Post-Burn Scalp Alopecia Using Tissue Expansion and Follicular Unit Extraction: A 10-Year Follow-Up Case Report

January 2026 in “International Society of Hair Restoration Surgery”

In this case study, a 35-year-old male with severe burn-related scalp injuries underwent successful reconstruction through tissue expansion, skin grafts, and multiple hair transplant sessions, resulting in satisfactory aesthetic and functional recovery.

research Tissue Expansion in Cicatricial Alopecia

14 citations , May 1987 in “Archives of Dermatology”

This article discusses tissue-expansion augmented scalp reduction as a surgical option for cicatricial alopecia patients who are otherwise not candidates for traditional hair replacement techniques, but it reports no new clinical results.

research Tissue expansion for the surgical correction of complications caused by hair replacement fiber implants

1 citations , January 1997 in “European journal of plastic surgery”

This case report describes a 45-year-old man with androgenetic alopecia who developed painful abscesses after monacrylic hair fiber implantation, requiring surgical intervention with tissue expansion and flap repair.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 2 years ago

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.

community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase

121 upvotes 2 years ago

Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Why dont we research more on body hair

in Chat 32 upvotes 6 months ago

Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.

community Sugar and Hair loss connections

in Research/Science 41 upvotes 1 year ago

High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
