research Macrophages are necessary for skin regeneration during tissue expansion
Macrophages are essential for successful skin growth in reconstructive surgery.
research Tissue Expansion and Serial Excision in Scar Revision
Both tissue expansion and serial excision are effective for scar revision in the head and neck area.
research Tissue Expansion in Cicatricial Alopecia
Tissue expansion is an effective treatment for certain types of hair loss, providing immediate coverage with hair-bearing skin.
research Tissue Expansion in the Head and Neck
Tissue expansion for head and neck reconstruction has good blood supply and doesn't need capsule removal, but expect temporary hair loss with normal growth resuming after 6-8 months.
research Clinical Experience With Tissue Expansion
Tissue expansion is a useful method for reconstructive surgery with good results and room for further enhancement.

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
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.
community 18->24 six years of Fin and Minox…. I guess we can’t all be winners 😭
A user named "EgyptStar81" who has been dealing with hair loss since age 15 due to genetics, chemotherapy and finasteride/minoxidil treatment. Possible solutions such as dutasteride, oral minoxidil, hair transplants and extensions were suggested.
community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors
Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
