5 / 1000+ resultsresearch PVA based nanofiber containing CQDs modified with silica NPs and silk fibroin accelerates wound healing in a rat model
This study found that a nanofiber wound dressing made of CQD/Si NP/SF significantly inhibits bacterial growth and accelerates skin wound healing and hair follicle regeneration in animal models.
research The impact of skin massage frequency on the intrafollicular transport of silica nanoparticles: Validation of the ratchet effect on an ex vivo porcine skin model
This study found that low massage frequencies like 4.2 Hz enhance nanoparticle penetration into hair follicles more effectively than higher frequencies, indicating potential applications in therapeutic and cosmetic delivery.
research Tannic acid and silicate-functionalized polyvinyl alcohol–hyaluronic acid hydrogel for infected diabetic wound healing
This study developed and tested a new injectable hydrogel for chronic diabetic wounds, reporting significant improvements in wound healing through enhanced angiogenesis, epithelization, and reduction of inflammation and infection in animal models.
research Thiolated and PEGylated silica nanoparticle delivery to hair follicles
This study found that PEGylation of nanoparticles enhances their penetration into hair follicles, with higher molecular weight PEG resulting in deeper follicular delivery.
research In vivo penetration of bare and lipid-coated silica nanoparticles across the human stratum corneum
This study found that hydrophobic lipid-coated silica nanoparticles penetrated deeper into human stratum corneum compared to their hydrophilic counterparts, highlighting the influence of surface polarity on skin penetration.

community VT Reedle Shot for hair growth?
The VT Reedle Shot, a skincare product using silica spicules, is discussed as a potential at-home alternative to microneedling for hair regrowth. It is suggested that different intensities may aid in hairline regrowth.
community 14 Months Dut/Minox/Microneedling + 13 Months HRT
The user shared their hair regrowth journey using treatments like dutasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, tretinoin, Nizoral, silica, biotin, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with cyproterone and estradiol. They reported substantial hairline improvement and some crown thinning, with hopes for further progress.
community Explanation for "dutasteride destroyed my hair"
Dutasteride can drastically reduce sebum production, leading to dryer hair and shedding. Alternating shampoos and periodic silica supplementation can improve hair quality and thickness.
