An Experimental Study: Microstructure of Hair Soft Tissue Filler Material and Its Clinical Application

    January 2008
    Zhang Qing-guo
    TLDR Hair material is a promising, safe, and effective soft tissue filler.
    The study investigated the use of hair microstructure as a soft tissue filler material. After processing, the injectable hair material was tested on micropigs, and its effects were observed over 24 weeks. The results showed that the hair structure was largely retained, and there were no adverse reactions. Over time, the hair keratin was replaced by fibroblasts and collagen, with no significant fibromembrane formation. The treated dermis was thicker than the control, indicating significant dermal augmentation (p<0.05). The study concluded that hair material demonstrated good biocompatibility and effective dermal filling, suggesting its potential as a new soft tissue filler.

      PP405 is discussed as a potential hair growth stimulant, possibly more effective than minoxidil, but not a cure for hair loss. There is skepticism about its ability to regrow "deadzones," and concerns about its impact on those with hair transplants.

      Hair growth caps and helmets using low-level laser therapy (LLLT) show potential for treating androgenetic alopecia, but more research is needed. Users often combine these devices with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for better results.

      Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or mood disorders; hair loss itself may be a more significant factor. Some users experience side effects from Finasteride, but it is generally well-tolerated.

      community Hair Loss and Oily Skin: Blocking DHT Helps

      Lowering DHT can improve skin quality and reduce scalp issues. Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth and improving skin texture, while dutasteride may increase oiliness and shedding for some users.
