    TLDR Skin of color can spontaneously repigment after a phenol-croton oil chemical peel.
    The study investigates the effects of phenol-croton oil chemical peels on skin of color (SOC), focusing on repigmentation post-treatment. Using a porcine model and clinical observations of patients with Fitzpatrick V and VI skin types, the study found that temporary hypopigmentation observed on day 7 resolved by day 21, with normal pigmentation restored. Histological analysis showed fewer melanosomes but satisfactory collagen regeneration. This suggests that despite initial hypopigmentation, SOC can spontaneously repigment after deep chemical peels, challenging previous concerns about the safety of such treatments in SOC.

      in Research/Science 2 weeks ago
      The conversation discusses the effectiveness of topical tretinoin as a monotherapy for hair loss, with users suggesting it may not be as effective as minoxidil or finasteride. The original poster is considering other options like a phenol peel and is concerned about the risks of derma rolling.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  735 upvotes 2 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      The effectiveness of Dutasteride compared to Finasteride in treating hair loss, with evidence given such as studies and experiences, as well as discussion around whether one should switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride. There is also a discussion on post-Dutasteride syndrome.

      community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

      in Research/Science  2452 upvotes 3 years ago
      The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
