Combining hair transplantation with microneedling or laser and UV light may help treat tough vitiligo on hands and feet, with microneedling being affordable and easy to learn.
The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.
Affordable 92-LED caps may be more effective for hair growth than expensive 270-laser caps due to higher power output and irradiance. The LED caps deliver more energy to the scalp, making them a cost-effective alternative for red light therapy.

Sunburns on the scalp can cause permanent hair loss, especially for those using Tretinoin or Tacrolimus. Wearing UPF 50+ hats is recommended to protect against UV radiation.
