learn Scalp Micropigmentation

What is Scalp Micropigmentation and how does it help people with visible hair loss? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of hair follicles on the scalp for visible hair loss.

learn Hair Transplant

What conditions can a hair transplant treat? Clinics say transplants can treat pattern baldness, long-inactive scarring alopecia and thinning; a transplant only moves hair a person still has, so the cause of the loss has to be diagnosed first.

learn Microneedling

Technique that makes tiny punctures in the scalp with fine needles

Does microneedling help with all types of alopecia, or only androgenic alopecia? Small, low-quality studies suggest microneedling may add to minoxidil in pattern hair loss; evidence in alopecia areata is limited, and there is no evidence of benefit in scarring alopecia.

learn Fluocinolone

What type of hair loss is Fluocinolone recommended for, and how does it help inflamed scalps? Fluocinolone is a prescription topical corticosteroid used for inflammatory scalp conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis, scalp psoriasis and scarring alopecias. It calms inflammation rather than growing hair, it is not a treatment for pattern hair loss, and its labelling warns against prolonged use.

learn Hydrocortisone

Mild corticosteroid used on the skin and scalp

learn Verteporfin

Can Verteporfin reduce scarring in alopecia or improve hair regrowth after hair transplant surgery? Verteporfin currently lacks clinical evidence for reducing scarring or improving hair regrowth.
