6 / 1000+ resultscommunity Highly recommend buying a microscope (see pictures)
in Treatment 44 upvotes 3 months ago A user recommends using a microscope to assess hair density and track hair loss progress, finding it useful for evaluating treatment effectiveness, particularly with dutasteride and minoxidil. They advise against obsessing over hair loss and emphasize focusing on other meaningful life aspects.
community Evaluate your progress with an objective tool
in Progress Pictures 40 upvotes 1 year ago The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.
community This tells you if you're shedding or losing hair (along with other things like fibrosis)
in Research/Science 34 upvotes 1 year ago High frequency ultrasonography and HR-MRI can help identify hair shedding causes like inflammation and fibrosis. The conversation discusses the potential of using these technologies to evaluate treatments like Verteporfin for hair regeneration.
community Predict if You'll Shed and Responding to Treatment: Ultrasound Imaging Technology
in Research/Science 17 upvotes 1 year ago Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hair follicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
community Hair disappearing after one week (microscope photos)
in Progress Pictures 753 upvotes 9 months ago A user is concerned about hair loss despite using finasteride and minoxidil, noting changes in hair under a microscope after one week. Others suggest patience, as hair treatments take months to show results, and recommend focusing less on microscopic changes.
community Can anyone else relate? M23. Pictures taken on the same day.
in Styling 413 upvotes 1 year ago Hair looks thinner in sunlight, and users discuss using hair fibers, minoxidil, finasteride, and considering dutasteride for hair loss. Hair fibers like Toppik help conceal thinning, and some users suggest additional treatments like derma stamping and micro-needling.
