    GlossaryWound-Induced Hair Growth

    process where skin injury stimulates new hair follicle formation

    Wound-Induced Hair Growth refers to the phenomenon where hair follicles regenerate and new hair growth is stimulated in response to skin injury. This process involves the activation of stem cells and signaling pathways that are typically dormant, leading to the repair of damaged tissue and the formation of new hair follicles. This concept is being explored for potential treatments for conditions like alopecia.

      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.

      A 26-year-old with extreme male pattern baldness saw hair regrowth after 6 months using Minoxidil, Finasteride, microneedling, Nizoral, a vitamin complex, biotin, and a shampoo with baicapil. Continuation of treatment is necessary to maintain results; stopping may lead to hair loss, making a hair transplant a potential future option.
