5 / 517 resultscommunity Molecular mechanisms triggered by Micronedlling -- Intersting Publication to better understand Dermarolling
This post and conversation are about the molecular mechanisms triggered by microneedling, specifically its effects on inflammation, tissue remodeling, epithelial proliferation, differentiation, and collagen synthesis. The discussion highlights the potential benefits of microneedling for hair loss treatment.
community Dermastamping — do you use hyaluronic acid as lubricant?
The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronic acid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
community Efficacy and Systemic DHT Suppression of Topical Finasteride vs Dutasteride
Topical dutasteride may have limited absorption due to its higher molecular mass compared to finasteride, potentially affecting its efficacy in suppressing DHT locally. Microneedling might enhance dutasteride absorption, possibly offering stronger local DHT suppression with fewer systemic effects.
community Sulforaphane Topical to Degrade DHT - For People Who Want to Try the Theory that Explains Everything
A user suggests making a potent sulforaphane topical to degrade DHT and promote hair growth. Another user notes that sulforaphane's low molecular weight might also lower systemic DHT.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
