    cosmetic treatment using chemicals to exfoliate skin layers

    Chemical peels, also known as chemexfoliation or derma peeling, are cosmetic treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove its outer layers. This process helps to improve the appearance of the skin by reducing wrinkles, scars, and discoloration, and can also stimulate new skin growth. The depth of the peel can vary, ranging from superficial to deep, depending on the type of chemical used and the desired outcome.

It could serve as an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride, but it is not yet available on the market and may take several years to be released.

      community Bee venom better than minoxidil?

      in Research/Science  1061 upvotes 2 months ago
      Bee venom at 0.001% concentration was more effective than 2% minoxidil in promoting hair growth in mice, possibly due to increased growth factors and reduced inflammation. Caution is advised due to potential allergic reactions and the reliance on animal data.
