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.

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

MagicBold 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 Dermatologist won't prescribe oral finasteride without first trying topical and having blood and sperm tests done

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 1 upvotes 1 month ago

A user is frustrated that their dermatologist requires blood and sperm tests before prescribing oral finasteride, despite already taking oral minoxidil. They prefer oral medication over topical treatments due to sensory issues and are considering asking their GP for a finasteride prescription or seeking alternatives online.
