This trial tests a cream called delgocitinib for a type of hair loss that affects the front of the scalp and eyebrows. The cream may help reduce redness and scaling and potentially slow or stop the hair loss.
This study compares two medications, hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate, to see which works better for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia, a condition that causes hair loss at the front of the scalp. You'll be assigned to one of the two treatments, and your progress will be followed during routine care.
This study tests a laser procedure to improve visible skin looseness or scars. You may be eligible if you have a targeted skin area needing treatment and can follow scheduled visits and after-care.
This trial tests if a non-ablative laser can help treat scarring alopecia (a type of hair loss where follicles are replaced by scar tissue). Researchers will also study your hair follicles' genes to understand how the laser works. It may be an option if your hair loss has been stable for at least 3 months.
This study compares two types of laser treatments to see which works better for women with hair loss on the top or front of the scalp. The lasers are non-invasive and aim to stimulate hair growth.
This study tests a type of laser treatment for hair loss in people with darker skin (types V and VI). The laser is a non-ablative fractional laser that may help thicken thinning hair.
