research Optimisation of microstructured biodegradable finasteride formulation for depot parenteral application
This study found that injectable finasteride microspheres provided a sustained drug release with a minimal initial burst in albino rabbits compared to oral suspension.
research Topical Formulations Containing Finasteride. Part I: In Vitro Permeation/Penetration Study and In Vivo Pharmacokinetics in Hairless Rat
This study found that the HPCH-based formulation P-08–016 may facilitate finasteride deposition in the dermis, potentially offering an alternative to systemic therapy by minimizing systemic absorption.
research Olanzapine-Induced Hair Loss
Increasing olanzapine caused hair loss in a woman, which stopped after changing medication.
research Formulation and Evaluation of Valproic Acid Microemulsions for Enhanced Transfollicular Delivery in Guinea Pig Skin
This study found that valproic acid-loaded microemulsion formulations enhanced skin penetration pathways in guinea pigs compared to an aqueous solution, with composition elements like oil content and surfactant ratios significantly affecting drug delivery performance.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity deeper understanding of microneedling
Microneedling can enhance hair growth by increasing drug absorption and activating stem cells, with different needle depths serving distinct purposes. Users report success with microneedling, often in combination with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, and emphasize waiting periods for topical application to avoid side effects.
community A New Hair Loss Drug Could Cure Balding and Reverse Graying
ABS-201, a prolactin receptor blocker, shows promise in reversing hair loss and graying, with early success in macaques. Current treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are still widely used, but new options like PP405 are eagerly anticipated.
community Microneedling depth. Does one length fit all areas of the scalp? Maybe not.
Microneedling depth should be customized based on hair type and scalp area, with many users finding 0.5-0.6mm effective for miniaturized hairs to avoid damage. Users report varying pain levels and results, with some preferring shorter needle lengths and others using longer ones like 1.75mm for scalp health and density improvement.
community Finasteride really is a miracle drug
Finasteride and minoxidil help maintain hair and slightly improve hairlines but are less effective at regrowing hair in bald areas, often needing a hair transplant for full restoration. Many users report no side effects and wish they had started treatment earlier.
community Haircafe - TOPICAL minoxidil is an anti aging drug
Topical minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, possibly due to its alcohol content, while oral finasteride is reported to make users look younger. Switching to oral minoxidil or using moisturizers might help reduce these skin issues.
