GlossarySensory Neurons (Sensory Nerves)

specialized cells that transmit sensory information to the brain

Sensory neurons, also known as afferent neurons, are specialized nerve cells responsible for converting external stimuli from the environment into internal electrical impulses. These neurons transmit information from sensory receptors (such as those in the skin, eyes, and ears) to the central nervous system, allowing the brain to process and respond to sensory input.

community Does anyone else sneeze or have their nose run when they microneedle their scalp?

in Microneedling 23 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling the scalp can cause sneezing, runny nose, and watery eyes due to nerve stimulation, histamine release, reflex actions, or sinus relief. Several users experience similar symptoms.

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.

in Research/Science 2 upvotes 1 year ago

A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.

Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

in Research 413 upvotes 1 year ago

Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 1 year ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community My dad says this is “a mircule”

in Is this regrowth? 512 upvotes 10 months ago

A 31-year-old user experienced hair regrowth and no side effects after switching from finasteride to dutasteride and using minoxidil foam daily. They reported improved hair retention and shared their treatment routine, including a prescription for dutasteride and the use of minoxidil, while humorously discussing side effects and personal experiences.
