What the current evidence supports on microneedling, PRP, melasma, acne diet, ferritin and weight maintenance — summarised without jargon.
Series of 3–6 sessions consistently reported improvement in rolling and boxcar scars, with a strong safety profile in darker skin types.
Multiple randomised studies show increased hair density versus control, with response strongest in early-stage thinning and sustained only with maintenance.
Photoprotection plus topical therapy remains first line; energy-based devices are adjuncts and carry rebound risk when used aggressively.
Low-glycaemic-load dietary patterns are associated with reduced lesion counts; evidence for dairy is weaker and individual.
Low ferritin is repeatedly associated with telogen shedding; correction is inexpensive and should precede procedural treatment.
Higher protein intake during energy restriction preserves lean mass and improves satiety, supporting long-term maintenance.
Summaries are written for patients and simplified deliberately. They describe general findings, not a guarantee of individual results.
