In this study, the researchers found that scalp sensitivity decreased by less than 39% in patients who underwent hair transplant surgery compared to healthy controls.
This study found that in men with androgenetic alopecia, nitric oxide synthase protein expression was significantly higher at androgenetic sites compared to non-androgenetic sites or those of healthy controls, suggesting a possible role in hair follicle regulation.
In this study, researchers used high-resolution MRI to distinguish anatomical differences in the scalp and hair follicles between tertiary androgenetic alopecia and severe alopecia areata, identifying subcutaneous tissue layer thickness as a key discriminative factor with high diagnostic value.
This review highlights that two-photon excitation microscopy is a valuable tool for visualizing live skin structures and immune responses at high resolution, though its clinical use is hindered by safety and cost issues.
Access to minoxidil and finasteride in prison is unlikely unless prescribed for medical conditions like hypertension or benign prostatic hyperplasia. Cosmetic treatments are generally not provided in prison.
Finasteride use resulted in increased hair growth but reduced libido for some, leading users to consider topical versions to lessen side effects. Opinions varied on the trade-off between hair benefits and sexual side effects.
A manager told an employee to stop using minoxidil, fearing it could unintentionally cause hair growth in others. The conversation is filled with humorous and sarcastic responses, questioning the manager's logic and suggesting the employee continue using the treatment secretly.
The user has been using topical 5% minoxidil and 0.5 mg dutasteride for 15 months, noticing stronger hair and some new growth. They have experienced hair loss for 10 years, underwent two hair transplants, and are seeing density improvements, particularly in the frontal scalp.
The user has been using minoxidil and finasteride for two years without progress and is considering other treatments like oral medications, microneedling, and possibly a hair transplant. Suggestions include trying oral finasteride, dutasteride, and microneedling, while also considering a hair system if other options fail.
Is Selenium more effective when taken orally or applied topically in shampoos or serums?The two are not interchangeable and the evidence points the other way from the common assumption: topical selenium disulfide shampoo has clinical trial support for dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis, while oral selenium supplements have no reliable evidence for hair growth in people who are not deficient, and excess intake is a recognised cause of hair loss.
