research Diagnosis of Hair Disorders
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of hair disorders is crucial and requires a range of diagnostic methods.
research TrichoScan: A Novel Tool For The Analysis of Hair Growth In Vivo
TrichoScan is a reliable method for measuring hair growth and is useful for assessing hair loss treatments.
research EEMCO Guidance for the Assessment of Hair Shedding and Alopecia
The document explains hair growth and shedding, factors affecting it, and methods to evaluate hair loss, emphasizing the importance of skin biopsy for diagnosis.
research Low-level laser therapy as a treatment for androgenetic alopecia
Low-level laser therapy may improve hair regrowth and thickness for androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed.
research The changing patterns of hair density and thickness in South Korean women with hair loss: clinical office-based phototrichogram analysis
South Korean women with hair loss have lower hair density and thickness compared to healthy women.
research Assessment of hair loss: clinical relevance of hair growth evaluation methods
Effective hair loss assessment requires a mix of precise measurement methods.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Trichoscan: What Is New?
Trichoscan is a reliable method for measuring hair growth and monitoring treatment effectiveness in hair loss.
research Human hair growth ex vivo is correlated with in vivo hair growth: selective categorization of hair follicles for more reliable hair follicle organ culture
Choosing hair follicles at the same growth stage leads to more consistent hair growth experiments.
research Female pattern hair loss
FPHL causes hair loss in women due to genetics and hormones; minoxidil and anti-androgens are treatments, and early intervention is advised.
research Severe diffuse non-scarring hair loss in systemic lupus erythematosus - clinical and histopathological analysis of four cases
Hair loss in systemic lupus erythematosus patients is unique and improves with treatment.
research No improvement in male-pattern hair loss using laser hair-comb therapy: a 6-month, half-head, assessor-blinded investigation in two men

research Qualification of a new and precise automatic tool for the assessment of hair diameters in phototrichograms
The new automatic tool accurately measures hair thickness and is reliable.
research Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment for Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Review of the Literature
PRP treatment may promote hair growth and improve hair density in women with AGA, but more research is needed.
research Viable terminal scalp hair follicles constitute a necessary and sufficient biological end‐organ that conditions clinical efficacy of finasteride in males with male pattern hair loss without implying reversal of miniaturized follicles
Finasteride works for hair loss by maintaining existing hair follicles, not reversing miniaturization.
research Techniques for the discovery and evaluation of drugs against alopecia
We need better treatments for hair loss, and while test-tube methods are helpful, they can't fully replace animal tests for evaluating new hair growth treatments.
research Maintenance of optimised hair growth from viable terminal scalp hair follicles at baseline with oral finasteride in male pattern hair loss and first evidence of a “drug dependency” and a post-finasteride “rebound effect”.
Finasteride helps hair growth but stopping it causes faster hair loss.
research Evaluation and Management of the Hair Loss Patient in the Primary Care Setting
Doctors should diagnose hair loss by examining the patient and possibly doing tests, and then treat it based on the type, which may prevent permanent hair loss.
research Real-time in vivo structure-function study of scalp hair cycles: an experimental approach for monitoring living hair roots with a 20-year follow-up
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively promote hair regrowth within 3 months.
