In a rodent study, a flexible, self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator wound patch combining electrostimulation and photothermal effects was found to efficiently accelerate wound healing and hair follicle regeneration.
September 2025 in “PubMed” In this study, auricular electrostimulation effectively relieved dextran-induced pruritus in mice, comparable to loratadine treatment, and is attributed to down-regulating the H1R/TRPV1 signaling pathway and reducing inflammatory cells in the skin.
June 2022 in “Journal of Dermatology Research” This study found that 448-kHz Capacitive-Resistive Electrothermal Therapy led to a significant increase in hair density in women with Female Pattern Hair Loss, likely due to stimulated proliferation of dermal papilla cells.

March 2024 in “Biomedical Engineering Letters” May 2020 in “Meeting abstracts/Meeting abstracts (Electrochemical Society. CD-ROM)” This research reported that using an electromechanical system based on flexible nanogenerators significantly accelerated skin wound healing and hair growth, and reduced food intake in rat models.
