research Sulforaphane mobilizes cellular defenses that protect skin against damage by UV radiation

184 citations , October 2007 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study found that sulforaphane-rich broccoli sprout extracts reduced UV-induced erythema by 37.7% in humans, suggesting a protective strategy against UVR damage.

Transepidermal UV Radiation of Human Scalp Skin Induces Distinctive Hair Follicle Damage, Mitigated by Topical Caffeine Treatment

research 910 Transepidermal UV radiation of human scalp skin induces distinctive hair follicle damage, which is mitigated by topical caffeine treatment

April 2019 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology”

This study found that ultraviolet radiation causes significant damage to human hair follicles, including increased cell apoptosis and oxidative DNA damage, but this damage may be mitigated by topical caffeine.

research Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation induced tissue damage

1 citations , June 2021 in “bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)”

This study found that fibroblast loss in the upper dermis from UVR exposure is linked to a deregulated inflammatory response, with T cells playing a protective role in fibroblast survival.

Transepidermal UV Radiation of Scalp Skin Ex Vivo Induces Hair Follicle Damage That Is Alleviated by Topical Treatment with Caffeine

research Transepidermal UV radiation of scalp skin ex vivo induces hair follicle damage that is alleviated by the topical treatment with caffeine

31 citations , February 2019 in “International Journal of Cosmetic Science”

This study found that ultraviolet radiation negatively affects hair follicle functions in human scalp skin, and caffeine application may provide some protective effects against this damage.

research Author response: Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation-induced tissue damage

November 2021

This study found that the loss of papillary fibroblasts in the skin due to UV radiation is mainly caused by an uncontrolled inflammatory response, with T cells helping fibroblast survival.

community My almost 1 year apart photos of finasteride 1mg and minoxidil 5% twice a daily with nizoral 2% once a week 23m. Want to know the state of my regrowth.

in Is this regrowth? 65 upvotes 2 years ago

User shared before-and-after photos showing significant hair regrowth after using finasteride 1mg daily, minoxidil 5% twice daily, and Nizoral 2% weekly for almost a year. The user noticed more defined and darkening regrown hairs, indicating a new hairline.

community South Korean Red Light Therapy Study

41 upvotes 6 months ago

Korean scientists developed a red light therapy that reduces a hair loss marker by 92%. Users discussed the benefits and drawbacks of natural sunlight versus red light caps for hair health, with some suggesting supplements for vitamin D.

community Sunlight: Does it Stimulate Hair Growth or Hair Loss?

in Research/Science 64 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether sunlight exposure affects hair growth or loss, with mixed anecdotes and theories but no clear consensus. Some suggest moderate sunlight can benefit hair by providing vitamin D, while others doubt its effectiveness compared to treatments like Minoxidil or finasteride.

community Red Light Therapy: Cheap Chinese LED caps are better than $3000 laser caps

in Research/Science 37 upvotes 1 year ago

Affordable 92-LED caps may be more effective for hair growth than expensive 270-laser caps due to higher power output and irradiance. The LED caps deliver more energy to the scalp, making them a cost-effective alternative for red light therapy.

community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years

in Treatment 548 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
