Novel Human 3D Skin Model for Skin Aging Research

A new treatment using dermal sheath cup cells may regrow hair and could require repeat treatments every 8 years. Users discuss ongoing trials and plan to use finasteride and minoxidil until the treatment is available.

Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.

A 15-year-old experiencing severe diffuse thinning plans to use minoxidil, dermarolling, and possibly ketoconazole, with hopes to later incorporate finasteride. Concerns about starting finasteride too young and the need for a dermatologist consultation are discussed.

The conversation is about improving scalp appearance by regaining adipose tissue and making the skin look better using scalp massages and a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and urea. The user is not trying to regrow hair but wants to improve the scalp's thickness and appearance.

Fibrin-based hydrogels support stem cells for hair follicle regeneration, showing promise for treating alopecia and wound healing. They enhance cell viability, maintain stemness, and promote hair and tissue regeneration without teratoma formation.

Applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) topically may improve skin and potentially promote scalp health and hair growth, especially after microneedling. The user shares their positive experience with EGF and provides a product link.
