    TLDR New nanocarriers improve drug delivery for disease treatment.
    The document reviewed recent advances in the structural design of photosensitive agent formulations using "soft" colloidal nanocarriers, such as liposomes, nanoemulsions, and solid lipid nanoparticles. These nanocarriers improved the stability, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of encapsulated drugs, particularly for skin-related treatments like melanoma, psoriasis, and androgenic alopecia. The review emphasized the benefits of these nanocarriers, including enhanced biocompatibility, controlled release, and better encapsulation efficiency, which are crucial for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. The document underscored the importance of continued research to optimize these formulations for clinical use.

      A 52-year-old shared positive hair regrowth results after using finasteride for 24 months, with noticeable improvements after 13-14 months, and recently added oral minoxidil to the regimen. Users discussed the effectiveness of combining finasteride, minoxidil, and sometimes dutasteride for better hair growth results.

      community Minoxidil, microneedling and buying tretinoin from Germany

      in Minoxidil  1 upvotes 1 year ago
      The conversation discusses using minoxidil with microneedling and considering tretinoin to enhance hair growth, especially for those who are weak responders to minoxidil. It also explores the potential of using tazarotene, a stronger retinoid, to boost minoxidil's effectiveness and addresses purchasing tretinoin from Germany.
