5 / 1000+ results research Advanced chemical imaging and comparison of human and porcine hair follicles for drug delivery by confocal Raman microscopy
This study used confocal Raman microscopy to confirm optical similarity between human and porcine hair follicles, supporting its use in assessing trans-follicular drug delivery.
research Fractional non-ablative laser-assisted drug delivery leads to improvement in male and female pattern hair loss
This study observed hair regrowth and increased density in four cases of androgenetic alopecia treated with a non-ablative erbium glass fractional laser and topical finasteride, with no significant side effects reported.
research Percutaneous Drug Delivery to the Hair Follicle
Hair follicles could be used for targeted drug delivery, with liposomal systems showing promise for this method.
research Unlocking Hair Follicles as Drug Reservoirs: Advances in Transfollicular Drug Delivery
This review reports that nanoparticles, especially those optimized to 300-400nm, may enhance follicular drug delivery compared to conventional formulations, offering targeted therapy for conditions like androgenic alopecia, acne, and psoriasis.

Iontophoresis and sonophoresis can enhance drug delivery into the scalp. Combining these methods may improve the effectiveness of topical treatments like dutasteride and certain peptides.
community Why liposomal finasteride and minoxidil may be better than traditional topical solutions.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
community Clascoterone 5% Delivers Strong Phase 3 Hair-Growth Results
Clascoterone 5% solution shows strong potential for hair growth, offering a new treatment for alopecia with minimal side effects. It blocks androgen receptors locally and may be available by late 2026 or early 2027.
community Clascoterone 5% Delivers Strong Phase 3 Hair-Growth Results | Dermatology Times
Clascoterone 5% shows promising hair growth results but is criticized for high cost and unclear effectiveness compared to other treatments like finasteride. Glenmark is testing a combination of Clascoterone 7.5% and Minoxidil 5% in India.
community Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.

7 / 66 results- Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
