    GlossaryPrimary Hair Follicles

    initial hair-producing structures formed during fetal development

    Primary hair follicles are the initial hair-producing structures that develop in the skin during fetal development. These follicles typically give rise to thicker, coarser hairs, such as those found on the scalp, eyebrows, and eyelashes. They are distinct from secondary hair follicles, which produce finer, shorter hairs like those on the body and face.

      community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

      in Research/Science  80 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.

      community Is microneedling worth it when you're on dut and oral min?

      in Microneedling  9 upvotes 3 days ago
      Microneedling may not significantly enhance hair growth when combined with dutasteride and oral minoxidil, as its primary benefit is improving topical absorption. Some users suggest using a 1.5mm depth for potential follicle stimulation, but results and effectiveness vary.
