Glossary Dermal White Adipose Tissue

layer of fat in the skin's dermis aiding hair growth

Dermal White Adipose Tissue (DWAT) is a layer of fat located within the skin, specifically in the dermis. It plays a crucial role in skin homeostasis, providing insulation, energy storage, and contributing to the skin's structural integrity. DWAT is also involved in hair follicle cycling and wound healing, making it an important area of study for both dermatology and metabolic research.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 29 upvotes 2 years ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.

community Why does finasteride increase sexual desire in some users while significantly reducing it in others?

27 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Finasteride affects libido differently in individuals due to hormonal changes, increasing testosterone and potentially estrogen, which can either boost or reduce sexual desire. Other treatments mentioned include dutasteride and topical applications, with some users experiencing increased libido and others experiencing a decrease.

community Any experience with stem cell hair transplants?

26 upvotes 3 years ago

Stem cell hair transplants use stem cells from fat tissue to reactivate inactive hair follicles, but results are inconsistent and not widely shared. Traditional treatments like finasteride and minoxidil often show better results.

community Dutasteride High Libido. How come we don't talk about this?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 210 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride and finasteride can affect libido differently, with some experiencing increased libido and others decreased libido or erectile dysfunction. Dutasteride may increase testosterone levels but can also cause side effects like liver enzyme changes, while topical finasteride may have fewer sexual side effects.

community My beard is getting worse since 3 months, patchy thin beard

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 4 months ago

Finasteride is likely causing beard thinning due to its anti-androgen effects, which reduce DHT levels necessary for thick facial hair. Some users suggest using minoxidil to potentially counteract this effect, while others note that stopping finasteride may allow the beard to regrow.
