15 / 15 resultsresearch The Place of B-Mode Ultrasonography, Shear-Wave Elastography, and Superb Microvascular Imaging in the Pre-Diagnosis of Androgenetic Alopecia
B-mode ultrasonography and shear-wave elastography can help predict androgenetic alopecia early.
research Comparing the Efficacy of Mesotherapy to Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss Using Ultrasound Biomicroscopy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Mesotherapy is more effective and preferred for female hair loss than topical minoxidil.
research Feature Characterization of Scarring and Non-Scarring Types of Alopecia by Multiphoton Microscopy
Multiphoton microscopy can non-invasively tell apart scarring from non-scarring hair loss and could aid in treatment.
research Monilethrix: A Case Report Imaged by Trichoscopy, Reflectance Confocal Microscopy, and Histopathology
Advanced imaging techniques are crucial for accurately diagnosing Monilethrix, a rare hair disorder.
research Thermal Imaging and Dermoscopy for Detecting Inflammation in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Infrared thermography, especially with dermoscopy, improves accuracy in diagnosing active hair loss due to inflammation.
research Low-Level Light and Minoxidil 5% Combination Versus Either Modality Alone in Management of Female Patterned Hair Loss: A Randomized Controlled Study
Combining low-level light therapy and minoxidil 5% is more effective for female hair loss than using either treatment alone.
research Scalp Imaging Techniques
Different scalp imaging methods are important for studying hair and scalp health and require more volunteers for better evaluation.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy for Scarring and Non-Scarring Alopecia Real-Time Assessment
Reflectance confocal microscopy can help tell apart scarring from non-scarring hair loss.
research Doppler Laser Imaging Predicts Response to Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss
research Hair Morphology in Androgenetic Alopecia
Abnormal cuticle and hair shaft medulla cause hair loss in androgenetic alopecia; sonography helps diagnose and manage it.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy Can Differentiate Dermoscopic White Dots of the Scalp Between Sweat Gland Ducts or Follicular Infundibulum
Reflectance confocal microscopy can tell apart white dots on the scalp as either sweat gland ducts or hair follicle openings.
research Reflectance Confocal Microscopy of the Yellow Dot Pattern in Alopecia Areata
Reflectance confocal microscopy confirms that yellow dots are signs of damaged hair follicles in alopecia areata.
research Weathering of the Hairless Scalp: A Study Using Skin Capacitance Imaging and Ultraviolet Light-Enhanced Visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research Does Topical Minoxidil Increase Skin Blood Flow? A Laser Doppler Flowmetry Study
Topical minoxidil does not increase skin blood flow.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Cutaneous Blood Flow in Human Balding Scalps: Pharmacodynamics Measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Photopulse Plethysmography
