research The Transmembrane Serine Protease HAT-like 4 Is Important for Epidermal Barrier Function to Prevent Body Fluid Loss
This study suggests that the protease HAT-L4 plays a significant role in maintaining epidermal barrier function to prevent body fluid loss, as its absence in mice led to increased fluid loss and higher mortality.
research Bikunin, a Serine Protease Inhibitor, is Present on the Cell Boundary of Epidermis
This study found that bikunin is expressed in human keratinocytes and may play a role in regulating keratinocyte function during mitosis or inflammation.

5 / 61 resultscommunity The case of a 78 year old man who accidentally regrew his hair (published in the British Medical Journal)
A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
community LLLT seems like it's at least a solid maintenance tool. Can also provide ok regrowth in AA and MPB. - Pubmed
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 Are Derma Rollers Actually Harmful in the Long Run?
Derma rollers may cause scarring alopecia, leading some to prefer dermastamps or dermapens for microneedling. Combining minoxidil with microneedling is effective, but proper technique and healing time are essential to prevent damage.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community My derm said they came up with a new serum that is better then fin? What’s y’all’s thoughts
A new serum claims to enhance hair regrowth by amplifying oxygen delivery, improving the effectiveness of treatments like exosomes and peptides. Users are skeptical, questioning its efficacy compared to established treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
