community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles

14 upvotes 8 months ago

Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.

community The Health Benefits of Head Hair

in Research/Science 19 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair provides protection against head trauma, reduces skin cancer risk, helps remove heavy metals, and aids in wound healing. The conversation emphasizes the health benefits of maintaining head hair beyond cosmetic reasons.

community microneedle, any long term users damage?

in Microneedling 35 upvotes 2 years ago

Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.

community Is microneedling still worth it if I’m on oral minoxidil?

in Microneedling 21 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling may still be beneficial for those on oral minoxidil due to its effects on tissue repair and blood flow, not just absorption. Some users report mixed results, and the effectiveness of combining microneedling with oral treatments remains debated.

community Any remedy for eye bags from minoxidil 5%?

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Minoxidil 5% can cause eye bags, but using Cerave Eye Repair Cream helped reduce them. The user also decreased their minoxidil dosage to manage side effects.

learn Hair Transplant

Is a hair transplant safe? Hair transplants are generally safe when done by qualified professionals in sterile conditions.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

Does scalp micropigmentation hurt? Scalp micropigmentation typically causes minimal discomfort, often described as light scratching.

learn GHK-Cu

a copper peptide showing promise in both regrowth and reversing gray hair

What is GHK-Cu and why is it said to be a "miracle" for hair? GHK-Cu is a copper peptide studied mainly for wound healing and skin repair; for hair loss the evidence stops at cell-culture and animal work, and no published human trial has tested it for androgenetic alopecia.

learn Fluocinolone

Can long-term use of Fluocinolone affect the health of hair follicles? There is no long-term human trial measuring what topical fluocinolone does to hair follicles; what is documented is the label's warning about skin atrophy with prolonged use, plus a 2007 mouse study suggesting hair-follicle bulge stem cells do not repair steroid-induced atrophy.
