Understanding the science behind painless hair restoration

What works for dealing with hair loss

- SKINVESTING DR. KAYCEE REYES

After two decades in preventive medicine and dermatology, I’ve learned that the most profound medical advances often come not from doing something entirely new, but from orchestrating existing science in smarter ways. The latest development in treating hair pathologies, a technology called Tricopat, exemplifies this perfectly.

Let me be direct. The field of trichology has been cluttered with overpromised treatments and underwhelming results. So when I encountered data from the University of Bologna showing consistent, measurable improvements in hair density and diameter, my first instinct as a physician was skepticism. But the methodology behind these results warrants serious attention.

Understanding the biological foundation

Hair loss, whether androgenetic alopecia, telogen effluvium, or inflammatory conditions like lichen planopilaris, shares common pathophysiological threads. Reduced microcirculation to the follicle, inadequate cellular metabolism, and compromised delivery of growth factors all contribute to follicular miniaturization and eventual hair loss.
