research Inactivation of the Vitamin D Receptor Enhances Susceptibility of Murine Skin to UV-Induced Tumorigenesis

148 citations , May 2008 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

This study found that mice lacking the vitamin D receptor (VDR) developed skin tumors more rapidly than those with normal VDR activity, regardless of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D(3) presence.

research Enhancement of skin rejuvenation and hair growth through novel near-infrared light emitting diode (nNIR) lighting: in vitro and in vivo study

April 2024 in “Lasers in medical science”

This study found that near-infrared LED therapy enhanced ATP synthesis, reduced reactive oxygen species, and promoted collagen production and hair growth more effectively than white LEDs in human skin cells and a photoaging mouse model.

research Effects of UV Induced-Photoaging on the Hair Follicle Cycle of C57BL6/J Mice

10 citations , May 2021 in “Clinical, cosmetic and investigational dermatology”

In this mouse study, UVA and UVB exposure led to hair follicle miniaturization, graying, and prolonged hair cycle duration, associated with changes in stem cells and increased Wnt signaling activity.

research Physiological Doses of Red Light Induce IL‐4 Release in Cocultures between Human Keratinocytes and Immune Cells

9 citations , August 2017 in “Photochemistry and Photobiology”

This study found that isolated red light may serve as an alternative for photo-immunotherapy without additional photosensitizers, as it did not reduce keratinocyte differentiation markers or increase photo-oxidative damage, unlike treatment with IL-4 or UVA1/blue light.

research The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-independent actions of the vitamin D receptor in skin

18 citations , April 2010 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

This research suggests that the vitamin D receptor may regulate hair follicle cycling and provide genoprotection against skin carcinogenesis through a mechanism independent of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, based on evidence from mouse models.

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 Minoxidil actually reduces wrinkles

in Research/Science 209 upvotes 1 year ago

Minoxidil may improve or worsen skin quality, with topical forms causing dryness and wrinkles, possibly due to alcohol content, while oral forms have fewer side effects. Some users consider using tretinoin to mitigate negative effects.

community When the finasteride works but minoxidil doesn't

2203 upvotes 9 months ago

Finasteride maintains existing hair, but Minoxidil is less effective on hairlines. Walton Goggins is admired for his receding hairline, possibly using Finasteride and Minoxidil without a hair transplant.

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 Best Supplements (If Any) That Will Help Speed Things Up and Enhance Results

2 upvotes 4 years ago

The conversation discusses using topical minoxidil and finasteride, along with dermarolling and biotin shampoo, for hair loss treatment. It also explores supplements like NutraPro's hair growth formula and other products like tretinoin, Ducray shampoo, and Nizoral to enhance results.
