Did you mean Skin Permeability?

Glossary Skin Permeability

ability of substances to pass through skin layers

Skin permeability refers to the ability of substances to pass through the skin barrier. This is important for the delivery of medications through topical treatments and for understanding how chemicals in the environment can affect the body. Factors like the condition of the skin, the size and solubility of the substance, and the presence of enhancers or barriers can influence how easily substances penetrate the skin.

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 Why is no one talking about this? Topical dutasteride out performs oral finasteride.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 180 upvotes 1 year ago

Topical dutasteride is considered more effective for hair regrowth with fewer side effects than oral finasteride. Users have mixed experiences, with some preferring topical applications for reduced side effects.
