Glossary Hair Follicle Bulge Stem Cells

specialized cells that regenerate hair and repair skin

Hair Follicle Bulge Stem Cells are specialized cells located in a specific region of the hair follicle known as the "bulge." These cells have the unique ability to regenerate and produce new hair, as well as repair damaged skin. They play a crucial role in the hair growth cycle and are a key focus in research on hair loss treatments and skin regeneration therapies.

community UVA researchers discovered stem cells that plays a crucial role in hair growth - We are closer than ever to the cure!

281 upvotes 1 year ago

Researchers at the University of Virginia discovered a new group of stem cells in hair follicles that could potentially restore hair growth. The findings suggest that activating these stem cells might offer a new way to combat hair loss, though practical treatments are still years away.

community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft

82 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.

community Reminder: NURTURE those dormant hair follicles for as long as you can until PP405 comes out in 2028-2030

in Treatment 191 upvotes 9 months ago

PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.

community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.

51 upvotes 7 months ago

Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.

community Microneedling depth. Does one length fit all areas of the scalp? Maybe not.

55 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling depth should be customized based on hair type and scalp area, with many users finding 0.5-0.6mm effective for miniaturized hairs to avoid damage. Users report varying pain levels and results, with some preferring shorter needle lengths and others using longer ones like 1.75mm for scalp health and density improvement.
