    GlossaryScanning Electron Microscopy

    uses electrons to create detailed surface images of samples

    Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) is a powerful imaging technique that uses a focused beam of electrons to create highly detailed, three-dimensional images of a sample's surface. Unlike traditional light microscopes, SEM can achieve much higher magnifications and resolutions, making it invaluable for examining the fine details of biological specimens, materials, and nanostructures.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 1 year ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      The user is using finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling for hair regrowth and has noticed some improvement after nine weeks. They report no significant side effects and plan to continue the treatment to see further results.

      community Red light therapy - research says they work, reviews say they don't - Turns out commercial device are severely under-powered, so could this actually work?

      in Technology  72 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the effectiveness of commercial Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) devices for hair growth, suggesting they are underpowered compared to the ideal energy output shown in medical research. A user plans to build a custom helmet that meets the required specifications for effective treatment.

      community Breezula 6 Month Topline Phase III Results Released

      in Research/Science  167 upvotes 1 week ago
      Breezula shows promising hair growth results, with up to 539% increase in hair count compared to placebo, and regulatory submissions are planned in the US and EU. Users are cautiously optimistic, noting the potential for Breezula to replace finasteride by targeting DHT without systemic effects.
