    TLDR Platelet-rich fibrin may help reduce nonmelanoma skin cancer cell growth.
    This study explores the effects of platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) on nonmelanoma skin cancer cells, specifically basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). PRF treatment significantly reduced cell viability and proliferation, particularly in BCC cells, by inducing cell cycle arrest and activating apoptotic pathways. This was evidenced by the downregulation of CCND1 and upregulation of p21, p53, caspase-8, and caspase-9 gene expressions. The study suggests that PRF may have tumor-suppressive effects, offering a promising basis for future research into its use in managing localized skin cancers.

      community Hairloss after doing PRF treatment

      in Treatment  2 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation is about the potential risk of permanent hair loss from PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments and whether PRF (platelet rich fibrin) carries the same risk. The user is seeking information on this topic.

      community Here is my hair regrowth plan

      in Treatment  4 upvotes 5 years ago
      The user's hair regrowth plan includes topical treatments (RU58841, azelaic acid, ketoconazole), oral supplements (Gia Herbs, castor oil), microneedling, PTD-DBM peptide with valproic acid, red light therapy, inversion table with scalp massage, and platelet-rich fibrin injections. Commenters suggest that finasteride and minoxidil are essential treatments for male pattern hair loss, which are missing from the plan.

      community I have been on finasteride for 9 months. (6 months on 0.25 mg, 3 months into 0.5 mg daily) here are the progress pictures.

      in Progress Pictures  273 upvotes 9 months ago
      A user shared progress pictures after 9 months on finasteride, starting with 0.25 mg and increasing to 0.5 mg daily, noting improved hair density, especially at the crown, with initial side effects that resolved after the first month. The discussion includes user experiences with finasteride, concerns about side effects, and alternative treatments like rosemary oil and platelet-rich plasma therapy.

      community Difference between my hair wet and dry literally an hour apart

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  757 upvotes 9 months ago
      The conversation is about hair loss treatments, focusing on minoxidil and finasteride, with suggestions for microneedling and dermarolling to improve hair thickness. The original poster has used minoxidil for four years and finasteride for over a year but is exploring additional options for better results.
