    TLDR Different types of skin cells and immune cells play a role in healing UV-damaged skin, with chronic UV exposure causing lasting damage to certain skin cells.
    The study by Rognoni et al. found that different fibroblast populations in the skin respond differently to UV radiation and tissue remodeling. Papillary fibroblasts in the upper dermis are responsible for tissue repair after acute UV radiation, but chronic UV-induced damage is harder to repair due to a severe loss of these fibroblasts, a phenomenon also seen in aging skin. The study also discovered that CD4 and CD8 T cells support UV-induced tissue repair by maintaining papillary fibroblasts. After acute UVB exposure, fibroblast numbers in the upper dermis of adult mouse skin decrease but return to normal levels 14 days post-irradiation. However, after chronic UVB exposure, fibroblast depletion persists for 30 days. In human skin, a significant loss of dermal fibroblasts occurs 1 day post UV radiation, followed by a transient increase during the repair phase and a return to pre-UV treatment levels after two weeks.

      in Microneedling  295 upvotes 2 years ago
      Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.

      in Treatments 5 months ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      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.

      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.

      in Treatment  193 upvotes 2 years ago
      This conversation discusses the advancements in treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil and new promising treatments such as pyrilutamide and verteporfin. Other treatments discussed were taking minoxidil orally, tretinoin to turn non-responders into responders and microneedling to further boost growth.
