Low-cost dermoscopes can effectively diagnose early female pattern hair loss.
research Occipital Hairline: A Forgotten Area
The conclusion is that surgeons should carefully create a natural-looking occipital hairline in hair transplants to avoid detection.
research Temporal Peaks Restoration: A New Innovation
The technique effectively restores temporal peaks in hair transplants using different hair densities and angles in three zones.

The user has been using 1 mg finasteride for three months and recently started using 5% minoxidil once daily, resulting in new vellus hair growth. The user is hopeful that minoxidil will positively impact terminal hairs and is considering adding a derma stamp to the routine.

1 year 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 Minoxidil experiment on single hair follicle
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
community Creatine Doesn’t Cause Hair Loss: Stop the BS
Creatine does not cause hair loss, despite many users reporting personal experiences of hair shedding. Scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and increased hair loss or hormone changes.
community Highly recommend buying a microscope (see pictures)
A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.
