Combining scalp photos with hair density and caliber measurements gives a more accurate assessment of hair loss.
research Evaluating subjective versus objective measures of changes in hair density using standardized scalp photography
This study, examining perceptible hair density changes in androgenetic alopecia patients, found that dermatologists could accurately detect hair loss at a lower threshold than previously noted, specifically at a 22.66% relative density difference, challenging assumptions about their predictive accuracy based solely on clinical examination.
research Photographic Imaging in Hair Loss
Photographic imaging is crucial for documenting and managing hair loss, requiring careful preparation and standardization to be effective.

A user is developing an app called Follicle to track hairline changes using facial landmarks and inter-pupillary distance for standardization. The app aims to provide a more consistent way for consumers to monitor hairline changes over time.
community Guys, is this actually working? 😭 - 3 month min+fin progress
A 26-year-old male has been using oral and topical minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss over three months, experiencing increased body hair as a side effect but no significant negative effects. He plans to continue treatment consistently for a year before considering a transplant, and users suggest standardizing photo comparisons to accurately track progress.
community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community Saw palmetto….again 😅 The difference between the standardised oil and dried extracts
Saw palmetto, particularly the standardized extract with 85% fatty acids, is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but opinions on its effectiveness vary. Some users combine it with other treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and ketoconazole, noting mixed results in hair retention and shedding reduction.
