    GlossarySkin Barrier

    outermost skin layer protecting against pathogens and moisture loss

    The skin barrier, also known as the epidermal barrier or cutaneous barrier, is the outermost layer of the skin that serves as a protective shield. It prevents the entry of harmful substances, pathogens, and excessive water loss, while also maintaining hydration and overall skin health. This barrier is primarily composed of lipids, proteins, and dead skin cells, and its integrity is crucial for preventing conditions like eczema and infections.

      community Is microneedling + minoxidil better than oral minoxidil

      in Chat  29 upvotes 3 weeks ago
      Oral minoxidil is considered more effective for hair regrowth than topical minoxidil, but it carries higher risks. Combining microneedling with topical minoxidil can enhance absorption, but oral minoxidil with microneedling shows significant results.
