Did you mean Collagen Gel?

Glossary Collagen Gel

substance made from protein providing tissue structure and strength

Collagen gel is a substance made from collagen, a protein that provides structure and strength to various tissues in the body, including skin, hair, and nails. In its gel form, collagen is often used in medical and cosmetic applications to promote wound healing, support tissue regeneration, and improve skin elasticity. For professionals, it serves as a scaffold in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, aiding in the repair and growth of damaged tissues.

community Has anyone tried collagen supplements?

4 upvotes 9 years ago

Collagen supplements, often combined with L-cysteine, are reported to thicken hair but are not sufficient for preventing hair loss. Users also mention using other treatments like minoxidil, Nizoral, and dermarolling for hair regrowth.

community Deoxyribose Gel? Does it work ?

12 upvotes 1 month ago

The conversation discusses the use of Medicube Deoxyribose Gel for hair loss, with skepticism about its effectiveness due to lack of human trials. The original poster uses a combination of minoxidil, finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, GHK-CU, and is considering adding deoxyribose gel and ketoconazole.

community Will minoxidil cause your skin to age from the collagen inhibition?

2 upvotes 7 months ago

Minoxidil is unlikely to cause skin aging at typical doses, and concerns about collagen inhibition are mostly unfounded. Users suggest using sunscreen and tretinoin for skin health, and some combine minoxidil with finasteride for hair maintenance.

community Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?

32 upvotes 1 year ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.

community Is this true? It can be a major breakthrough

1008 upvotes 5 months ago

Deoxyribose sugar gel may stimulate hair regrowth similarly to minoxidil by enhancing blood supply and follicle activity. Human trials are necessary, and current products have mixed results.
