Did you mean UV-induced DNA damage?

Glossary UV-induced DNA damage

harm to DNA caused by ultraviolet radiation

UV-induced DNA damage refers to the harm caused to DNA by ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sources like the sun. This damage can result in mutations, such as thymine dimers, where two adjacent thymine bases bond together, disrupting normal DNA replication and potentially leading to skin cancers and other genetic disorders.

community So does oral minoxidil age your skin or not

43 upvotes 2 years ago

Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.

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 Why Fin/Dut is always recommended. The top 10 reasons for hairloss in men.

2 upvotes 1 year ago

Hair loss in men is primarily caused by androgenetic alopecia, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride often recommended. Other causes include stress, nutritional deficiencies, medications, and scalp infections.

community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video

76 upvotes 2 years ago

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 Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
