research Platelet-rich plasma microneedling versus 5% topical minoxidil in the treatment of patterned hair loss
Minoxidil works faster and is more cost-effective for treating hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma microneedling can be an alternative for those who can't use minoxidil.
research Cell Enriched Autologous Fat Grafts to Follicular Niche Improves Hair Regrowth in Early Androgenetic Alopecia
Adding cells to fat grafts improves hair regrowth in early baldness, but effects lessen over time.
research Evaluation of the relationship of digital phototrichogram findings of patients with diffuse hair loss with blood TSH, ferritin and vitamin B12 levels
Low ferritin levels are linked to increased hair loss; no link found between vitamin B12, TSH levels, and hair loss.
research A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 5% and 2% topical minoxidil solutions in the treatment of female pattern hair loss
5% and 2% minoxidil solutions effectively promote hair growth and reduce hair loss, with 5% being slightly more effective but having more side effects.
research Is TrichoScan a new diagnostic method for diffuse hair loss?
TrichoScan effectively diagnoses different types of hair loss and is linked to low iron stores in patients.
research The Potential Role of Minoxidil in the Hair Transplantation Setting
Minoxidil helps stabilize hair loss, increase density, and reduce shedding after hair transplant surgery.

research Minoxidil and its use in hair disorders: a review
Minoxidil effectively treats hair loss, but use cautiously and monitor side effects.
research Parietal scalp is another affected area in female pattern hair loss: an analysis of hair density and hair diameter
Parietal scalp area has lower hair density and smaller hair diameter in women with hair loss.
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 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”.
