GlossaryInterfollicular Stem Cells

cells in skin between hair follicles aiding epidermis repair

Interfollicular stem cells are a type of stem cell found in the skin, specifically in the areas between hair follicles. These cells play a crucial role in the regeneration and repair of the skin's outer layer, the epidermis, by continuously producing new skin cells to replace those that are shed or damaged.

in Research/Science 134 upvotes 3 months 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.

in Treatment 25 upvotes 1 year ago

John has experienced slight hair gains and stability over 20 years using Dutasteride, which is more effective than Finasteride in reducing scalp DHT and maintaining hair. Dutasteride at 0.5mg daily has a similar side effect profile to Finasteride, but at higher doses, it may increase the risk of sexual side effects.
