research Sleep quality and its clinical associations in trichotillomania and skin picking disorder
People with trichotillomania or skin picking disorder generally sleep worse than those without these conditions.
research Treatment of an alopecia areata patient with tofacitinib results in regrowth of hair and changes in serum and skin biomarkers
A patient with alopecia areata regrew hair after taking tofacitinib and showed changes in certain blood and skin markers.
research The tumescent technique facilitates hair micrografting
The tumescent technique improves hair micrografting by providing lasting anesthesia, reducing bleeding, and increasing patient comfort.
research Bilateral Eyelid Pseudoptosis From Lipogranulomas of the Preaponeurotic Fat Pads
Surgical removal of abnormal fat pads fixed the woman's eyelid issue caused by likely silicone injections.
research Tissue Expansion in the Head and Neck
Tissue expansion for head and neck reconstruction has good blood supply and doesn't need capsule removal, but expect temporary hair loss with normal growth resuming after 6-8 months.
research Notices
The document lists plastic surgery events and opportunities from 1997, including awards, workshops, and conferences.
research Complications in Hair-Restoration Surgery
Hair restoration surgery can have complications; success depends on patient education, careful planning, and proper execution.

research Fibrous scaffolds potentiate the paracrine function of mesenchymal stem cells: A new dimension in cell-material interaction
Special fiber materials boost the healing properties of certain stem cells.
research Therapeutic success of epidermal grafting in generalized vitiligo is limited by the Koebner phenomenon
Skin grafting can help repigment vitiligo, but it's less effective for widespread cases due to the Koebner phenomenon.
research Human Hair Follicle Regeneration Following Amputation and Grafting into the Nude Mouse
Human hair follicles can regenerate after removal, but with low success rate.
research Crafting Polymeric and Peptidic Hydrogels for Improved Wound Healing
Advanced hydrogel systems with therapeutic agents could greatly improve acute and chronic wound treatment.
research Madarosis: A marker of many Maladies
Losing eyelashes or eyebrows can be a sign of many different health problems and needs a careful approach to treat effectively.
research Artificial skin for wound healing
