    Glossary Wounding

    deliberate or accidental damage to skin or tissues

    Wounding refers to the deliberate or accidental damage to the skin or underlying tissues. In the context of hair and alopecia, wounding can stimulate hair growth by triggering the body's natural healing processes, which can activate dormant hair follicles. This concept is utilized in treatments like microneedling, where tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries to promote hair regrowth.

      community The use of peptides to enhance hair growth from wounding

       4 upvotes 9 years ago
      The conversation discusses using peptides BPC-157 and TB-500, combined with microneedling, to potentially enhance hair regrowth. The user plans to try BPC-157 due to its lower cost and reports of hair growth, despite limited human trials and concerns about side effects from other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.

      The user is experiencing severe hair thinning and is using multiple treatments including topical finasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, latanoprost, oral minoxidil, dutasteride, saw palmetto, and derma wounding. They are considering adding RU58841 and are contemplating a hair transplant and exosomes due to frustration with current results.
