In this study, researchers found that the primary cause of slippage and detachment of keratin capsules in hair extensions is the re-contamination by oily residues from the hairdresser's hands, rather than the use of hair care products like masks or conditioners.

This study operationalizes a four-step workflow for selecting donor hair for capsule extensions, translating surgical trichology insights into an extension-specific protocol to enhance natural hair optics and biomechanics, suitable for premium extension services.

Invasomes effectively deliver drugs through the skin and have potential for improved treatments.

This study found that invasomes enhanced the iontophoretic transdermal delivery of finasteride in rabbits, increasing AUC and T1/2 compared to oral suspension.

This study reported that invasomes, utilizing limonene as a component, enhanced the transdermal permeation of finasteride by over 21 times, indicating their potential as a novel drug delivery system.

This study involved formulating an invasome gel loaded with clotrimazole for treating fungal infections and assessed its various properties like spreadability and in vitro drug diffusion.

In this study, researchers developed microcapsules and effervescent tablets containing policosanol from insect wax, achieving high encapsulation efficiency and rapid water dispersion, effectively addressing the challenges of solubility and psychological acceptance in consuming insect-based lipids.

This study found that combining topical capislow with laser hair removal significantly enhanced hair reduction compared to laser alone, although the beneficial effects lasted only while capislow was applied.

This study found that adding hydroxypropyl cellulose to minoxidil formulations significantly increased scalp retention and penetration compared to other formulations, potentially leading to reduced application frequency and improved efficacy.

The study reported that combining the Follicular Closing Technique with the Franz diffusion cell is a valuable method for investigating follicular caffeine penetration in vitro, though kinetics differ from in vivo results.

This study developed a micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography method for determining minoxidil in Rogaine and generic products, offering a simple and efficient alternative to HPLC.

This study optimized and validated a dissolution test method for immediate-release finasteride capsules, highlighting the need for an official standard due to variability in commercial products.

This study developed a validated HPLC method for accurately estimating dutasteride and its related compounds in capsules, suitable for routine and stability sample analysis.

This review highlights the need for methodologies to understand and quantify drug penetration into hair follicles as significant drug pathways, noting this area lacks comprehensive articles and reports no new results.

This study used a newly developed RP-HPLC method to accurately measure finasteride distribution in human cadaver skin after applying different vesicular drug delivery systems.

The InCISE score is a promising tool for assessing wound healing in head and neck surgery but needs more research for broader use.

In this study, researchers reported that hardshell capsules using the DiluCap® line of excipients demonstrated varying dissolution profiles under gastrointestinal-simulating conditions, with minoxidil and finasteride showing rapid release and melatonin and naltrexone displaying controlled release, indicating their suitability for different applications in compounding pharmacies.

This study evaluated a UV-Vis spectrophotometric method to measure minoxidil in compounded capsules from pharmacies in Pernambuco, Brazil, finding that while the formulations met weight criteria, most deviated significantly from declared minoxidil content, highlighting the need for robust quality control in compounded medicines.

In this study, forming inclusion complexes of Finasteride and poly (ethylene glycol) resulted in significantly improved solubility and dissolution rates, suggesting a promising new solid form for enhanced drug release.

This study developed a simple and cost-effective chromatographic method for simultaneously analyzing betamethasone dipropionate and calcipotriol, achieving rapid separation within 7 minutes suitable for routine applications.

This study found that caffeine and flufenamic acid penetrated porcine skin more effectively through hair follicles, while the importance of the follicular pathway varied for other substances tested.

A new method can better diagnose eruptive vellus hair cysts.

This review discusses the use of terpenes and invasomes as permeation enhancers for transdermal drug delivery, focusing on their potential applications in pharmaceutical formulations, but it reports no new experimental results.

This study validated that both tape-based and image-based methods for measuring head crown areas, and the CASLite NOVA as well as Image-Pro software for hair count, showed acceptable agreement, supporting their interchangeable use in hair care research settings.

This study demonstrated that the IVL-DrugFluidic® platform is effective for mass-producing finasteride-loaded polymeric microspheres for long-acting injectables, maintaining stable drug release without an initial burst for a month.

The vellus index is a simple, quick, and reliable method to assess and monitor hair growth, especially in hirsutism.

Method quickly measures finasteride concentration in capsules.

This study developed a new finasteride capsule with accurate dosage and good stability, showing potential as an effective oral preparation with a tentative two-year shelf life.

This study found that in vivo, a novel microneedle system for valproic acid delivery may improve hair regrowth efficacy by upregulating hair follicle development pathways more effectively than topical application.

This study developed lipid-core nanocapsules for encapsulating menthol, improving its solubility and thermal stability, and demonstrated their safety and rapid skin absorption in ex vivo tests, highlighting potential applications for cosmeceuticals.
