GlossaryNanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs)

advanced drug delivery systems using solid and liquid lipid nanoparticles

Nanostructured Lipid Carriers (NLCs) are advanced drug delivery systems composed of a blend of solid and liquid lipids, forming nanoparticles that can encapsulate active ingredients. These carriers enhance the stability, bioavailability, and controlled release of drugs, making them particularly useful in medical and cosmetic applications, including treatments for hair loss and skin conditions.

community Melatonin a possible tool to help fight AGA hair loss.

in Research/Science 54 upvotes 3 years ago

Topical melatonin may help reduce hair loss and increase hair thickness in people with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with some studies showing positive results. It can be mixed with minoxidil for application, and its effectiveness might be enhanced when used with micro-needling, but results may vary among individuals.
