5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comparison of two in vitro models for the analysis of follicular penetration and its prevention by barrier emulsions
Pig ear skin is better than human skin for testing how well barrier creams block allergens from entering hair follicles.
research Drug delivery to the hair follicle : role of follicular tight junctions as a biological barrier and the potential for targeting clobetasol nanocarriers
Clobetasol nanocarriers can be effectively delivered to hair follicles, with uptake improved by massage and affected by particle type.
research Follicular Targeting–A Promising Tool in Selective Dermatotherapy
Targeting hair follicles can improve skin treatments and reduce side effects.
research Ichthyosis, Follicular Atrophoderma, and Hypotrichosis Caused by Mutations in ST14 Is Associated with Impaired Profilaggrin Processing
Mutations in the ST14 gene cause skin and hair issues by disrupting important protein processing.
research Follicular and percutaneous penetration pathways of topically applied minoxidil foam

5 / 339 resultscommunity Is microneedling + minoxidil better than oral minoxidil
Oral minoxidil is considered more effective for hair regrowth than topical minoxidil, but it carries higher risks. Combining microneedling with topical minoxidil can enhance absorption, but oral minoxidil with microneedling shows significant results.
community I Guess balding is cured so should we close subreddit and move to hairstyling photos 😁 Botox-like nerve blocking reveals potential way to fully regenerate skin without scarring
Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)
Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.
community We should actually be hopeful for these recent new developments
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
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.
