research Tissue Mechanics in Haired Murine Skin: Potential Implications for Skin Aging
Older mice have stiffer skin with less elasticity due to changes in collagen and skin structure, affecting aging and hair loss.
research Skin Aging as a Mechanical Phenomenon: The Main Weak Links
Skin aging is largely due to differences in stiffness and elasticity between skin layers, leading to wrinkles.
research Association Between Scalp Laxity, Elasticity, and Glidability and Donor Strip Scar Width in Hair Transplantation and a New Elasticity Measuring Method
Higher scalp elasticity leads to wider scars after hair transplantation; a new method to measure elasticity may help predict scar size.
research The Facial Adipose Tissue: A Revision
Different types of facial fat affect aging and treatment outcomes; more research is needed to enhance anti-aging procedures.
research The Association Between Scalp Laxity, Elasticity, and Glidability and Donor Strip Scar Width in Hair Transplantation: A New Elasticity Measuring Method
Scalp laxity, elasticity, and glidability are important in hair transplants and can predict scar width at the donor site.

5 / 929 resultscommunity Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community My way to recovery and advice - Hope this helps (m20)
A 20-year-old shared their experience of reversing hair loss without using minoxidil or finasteride, instead relying on supplements like biotin, collagen, fish oil, saw palmetto, and various vitamins. They emphasized the importance of a balanced supplement schedule and noted improvements in hair health without experiencing additional shedding.
community 30M ~3 month, everything and the kitchen sink
A 30-year-old male shared his 3-month progress using Minoxidil topical, Finasteride oral, and Dutasteride, along with microneedling, keto shampoo, and rosemary oil for hair regrowth. He reported significant improvement without side effects and plans to continue the regimen.
community One year on finasteride has reversed some aging
Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.
