Glossary Dermal Fibroblasts

specialized skin cells that produce collagen and aid healing

Dermal fibroblasts are specialized cells found in the dermis, the middle layer of the skin. They play a crucial role in wound healing and the production of collagen and other extracellular matrix components, which provide structural support and elasticity to the skin.

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 One year on finasteride has reversed some aging

in Chat 198 upvotes 11 months ago

Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.

community Reducing Fibrosis in Hair Loss: Topical Pirfenidone

59 upvotes 5 months ago

Topical pirfenidone is highlighted as an effective anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic treatment for hair loss, particularly in addressing perifollicular fibrosis, which may enhance the effectiveness of standard treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. The user also uses calcipotriol, MCT oil, ciclopirox shampoo, and benzoyl peroxide shampoo as part of their regimen.
