GlossaryFolliculogenesis

process of hair follicle development and maturation

Folliculogenesis is the process by which hair follicles develop and mature. It involves a series of stages where cells in the skin differentiate and organize to form the complex structure of a hair follicle, ultimately leading to hair growth. This process is crucial for understanding hair growth cycles and conditions like alopecia, where hair loss occurs.

community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.

in Research/Science 132 upvotes 1 month ago

Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
