    TLDR Peptides from oysters may safely and effectively heal skin wounds with less scarring.
    The document discusses a study on the wound healing properties of peptide self-assembling materials (CAPs) derived from the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas). The study involved both in vitro and in vivo experiments. In vitro tests showed that CAPs have antioxidant activity, promote coagulation, and enhance cell proliferation. In vivo tests on mice showed that CAPs can reduce inflammation, stimulate fibroblast proliferation, promote revascularization, accelerate the epithelialization process, and promote hair follicle regeneration. The study also observed a balanced collagen I/III ratio in the repaired tissue, indicating a potential for reducing scarring. The study concluded that CAPs could be a natural, safe, and effective treatment for skin wound healing, with potential for further development in traceless skin wound healing.

      A topical solution called "Multi-Peptide Serum for Hair Density" by The Ordinary Company, which contains several ingredients that are used in alternatives to Minoxidil and was found to have better results than 5% Minoxidil in a study. People who have tried it shared their experiences with the serum as well.

      A 48-year-old man has been using minoxidil for 15 years and considered finasteride but stopped due to potential side effects. He is concerned about his mental health and the impact of hair loss on self-image, and he encourages support among men experiencing hair loss.

      community Why do I see so many people here recommend microneedling?

      The efficacy of microneedling for hair regrowth as either a stand-alone therapy or adjunct to Minoxidil, and whether Tretinoin is a safer and more effective option. Replies include personal accounts from users who have had success with microneedling in combination with minoxidil and peptide serums, as well as considerations of technique, depth, and potential scarring.

      Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.
