Glossary Epidermal Layers

multiple strata of cells forming the skin's outermost part

Epidermal layers refer to the multiple strata of cells that make up the outermost part of the skin, known as the epidermis. These layers include, from the deepest to the most superficial, the stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum (only in thick skin), and stratum corneum. Each layer has distinct functions, such as cell regeneration, protection against pathogens, and the formation of a barrier to prevent water loss.

community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough

14 upvotes 2 years ago

A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

community I've seen this story around social media, and was surprised when I actually read it that the miracle cure in this case was exosome therapy, which I've previously tried for hairloss with little luck.

226 upvotes 3 months ago

Exosome therapy showed promising results for burn recovery but was less effective for hair loss. The conversation highlights skepticism about the visible results due to makeup and discusses the complexity of treating hair compared to skin.

community LLLT seems like it's at least a solid maintenance tool. Can also provide ok regrowth in AA and MPB. - Pubmed

17 upvotes 8 years ago

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) is seen as a safe and effective method for maintaining hair and promoting regrowth in androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and male pattern baldness (MPB), with devices like the HairMax LaserComb® and iRestore helmet being popular. Some users and professionals are skeptical about its long-term effectiveness and cost.

community Why everyone should be using topical Dutasteride

45 upvotes 3 months ago

Topical Dutasteride, especially in a liposomal base, is recommended for enhanced scalp DHT suppression when used with oral Dutasteride. It is suggested to apply it twice a week for effective results without significant systemic impact.

community TCA 35% chemical peel, don't try this shit at home.

11 upvotes 7 months ago

The conversation discusses using a TCA 35% chemical peel on the scalp to potentially improve hair growth by addressing fibrosis and enhancing the effectiveness of topical treatments.
