Arctiin helps protect hair cells from damage and death caused by oxidative stress.
research Reflection confocal microscope characteristics of rose acne and some thoughts caused by it
Skin CT can help diagnose rosacea by identifying specific skin features, but should be used with clinical signs to avoid misdiagnosis.

research Flushing episodes in the context of frontal fibrosing alopecia with facial papules
A woman thought to have rosacea was actually suffering from Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, a hair loss condition. Despite treatment, her condition didn't change, showing the importance of accurate early diagnosis.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?
Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.
community Thought I would just make this simply post to explain finasteride and minoxidil with an analogy.
Finasteride stops hair loss by blocking DHT, while Minoxidil promotes hair growth by increasing blood flow to hair follicles. Using both can help regrow hair, but results vary by individual.
community We always hear that DUT only lowers scalp DHT by 50% (fin at 40%) but a study within the hair follicle itself shows that DUT nukes DHT to near undetectable levels... so which is it??
Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in hair follicles, potentially more effectively than previously thought. The discussion highlights differences in DHT measurements and the impact on hair loss treatment.
community New baby hairs are popping out. Question though: what are these black dots on hairline? Clogged pores?
The user is experiencing new hair growth after using oral dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, but is concerned about black dots on the hairline, which might be clogged pores or dormant follicles. The user previously used a topical minoxidil/finasteride spray and had good results, despite a shedding phase after switching treatments.
community Researchers working on ways to regenerate lost hair from stem cells identified a recipe for normal hair regeneration in the lab. “A method for cyclical regeneration of hair follicles from hair follicle stem cells and will help make hair follicle regeneration therapy a reality in the near future.”
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hair follicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
