GlossaryPerifollicular

area surrounding hair follicle

Perifollicular refers to the area surrounding a hair follicle. In medical and dermatological contexts, this term is often used to describe conditions or observations, such as inflammation or fibrosis, that occur around the hair follicles. For example, perifollicular inflammation is a common feature in certain types of hair loss, like alopecia areata, where the immune system attacks the hair follicles.

community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year ago

A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.

community Novel effect of sildenafil (cialis) on hair growth

in Research/Science 17 upvotes 3 years ago

Sildenafil (Viagra) shows potential for hair growth by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulating perifollicular vessel formation. Users discuss the possibility of using Cialis (tadalafil) similarly, noting its benefits and side effects.

community Hey med experts explain this please??

in Research/Science 6 upvotes 1 month ago

Finasteride, dutasteride, saw palmetto, caffeine, spironolactone, acetyltetrapeptides, tea tree oil, hydrocortisone, zinc pyrithione, latanoprost, melatonin, marine protein supplements, PRP, microneedling, and valproate are discussed as treatments for hair loss. DHT reduction and inflammation control are key strategies.

community Does 0.5 mg of finasteride reduce SCALP DHT the same as 1 mg?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 15 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about whether 0.5 mg of finasteride reduces scalp DHT as effectively as 1 mg. Users suggest that even lower doses like 0.05 mg can significantly reduce scalp DHT.

community The MPB itch aka DHT itch is very real.

in Chat 9 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair loss itch is caused by DHT attacking follicles and stimulating nerves. Finasteride users who respond well don't experience this itch.
