Melanin density affects hair color, and this method can help in cosmetic assessments and diagnosing hair diseases.
research Cosmetic assessment of the human hair by confocal microscopy
Confocal microscopy is better than scanning electron microscopy for studying hair in its natural state and understanding hair products' effects.

Male Pattern Baldness, and identifying early signs of it. The treatments discussed to combat and slow balding include finasteride, dutasteride and minoxidil.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
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.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community It has been 1 year. Should I keep going or give up?
The user is considering whether to continue their hair loss treatment, which includes finasteride, minoxidil spray, keto shampoo, and dermarolling. Suggestions include increasing minoxidil application, adding multivitamins, improving sleep, and possibly switching to dutasteride, while the consensus is to keep going with the treatment.
community Accidentally posted with other account & wrong flair. What do you think? Is there regrowth?
A 46-year-old man is using minoxidil, finasteride, and derma rolling for hair regrowth but is unsure of the results and considering a hair transplant. Many suggest he looks good bald and recommend continuing treatment or trying scalp micropigmentation.
