Glossary Dermis

thick skin layer beneath epidermis with connective tissue and glands

The dermis is the thick layer of skin beneath the outer epidermis. It contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and glands, playing a crucial role in skin's structural integrity and elasticity. This layer is essential for thermoregulation and sensation, as it houses nerve endings that respond to touch, pain, and temperature.

community Derm told me that my whey protein usage is speeding up hair loss?

community Dermastamp vs Dermaroller vs Dermapen

in Microneedling 5 upvotes 1 year ago

Dermastamp is preferred for hair growth and skin health due to fewer scars, with recommended needle sizes of 0.5-1.5mm. Dermapen is also favored over dermarollers, which are considered dangerous.

community Where did this idea come from: dermastamp better than dermaroller?

in Microneedling 10 upvotes 1 year ago

Dermastamps are preferred over dermarollers for microneedling due to precision and reduced risk of scarring. Dermastamps allow for controlled, vertical needle entry, while dermarollers may cause more damage with sideways needle entry.
