adipose tissue-derived stem cells ADSCs hair regrowth skin rejuvenation fat stem cells

TLDR Stem cells can improve wound healing, reduce scars, promote hair growth, rejuvenate skin, and enhance fat grafts in plastic surgery, but there are still some concerns.

Stem cells, particularly adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), have shown significant potential in aesthetic dermatology and plastic surgery due to their ease of harvest and beneficial properties. ADSCs have been found to accelerate wound healing, reduce scars, promote hair regrowth, and rejuvenate skin. Additionally, they enhance fat graft survival in procedures like breast augmentation. Despite the promising results and the development of various effective strategies, there are still limitations and concerns regarding the clinical use of stem cells.

in Treatment 22 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, and topical antiandrogens are effective for hair regrowth. Future treatments may include CB0301 and hair cloning.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 6 months ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 30 upvotes 5 months ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.

community The Big Fat Layer II

in Research/Science 26 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hair follicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.
