Glossary Follicular Targeting

method directs treatments specifically to hair follicles

Follicular targeting refers to a method used in dermatology and hair restoration where treatments are specifically directed at hair follicles. This technique aims to deliver medications or therapeutic agents directly to the hair follicles to treat conditions like alopecia more effectively, ensuring that the active ingredients reach the root of the problem with minimal side effects.

community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)

13 upvotes 1 year ago

Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.

community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?

in Research/Science 1 upvotes 2 months ago

Sebaceous filaments or blackheads on the scalp are not a cause of hair loss; it's more likely due to hormonal factors, particularly in androgen-sensitive areas like the temples and crown. The user is using topical finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin for treatment.
