    GlossaryDermal Stem Cells (dermal progenitor cells)

    specialized skin cells that regenerate and repair dermal tissue

    Dermal Stem Cells, also known as dermal progenitor cells, are specialized cells found in the skin's dermis layer that have the ability to self-renew and differentiate into various cell types, including fibroblasts, which are crucial for wound healing and collagen production. These cells play a significant role in skin regeneration and repair, making them a key focus in research on anti-aging treatments and therapies for skin-related conditions.

      community I am actually regrowing my hairline without minoxidil or finasteride (mechanical stimulation)

       125 upvotes 7 years ago
      Regrowing hairline without the use of Minoxidil or Finasteride, and instead using mechanical stimulation such as Derma Roller, Nizoral, Zinc Pyrithione, Scalp Massage, Scalp Exercise, Fish Oil and other topical solutions. It is cautioned that there are risks associated with not using medically-prescribed treatments, but it is suggested to consider mechanical stimulation in addition to those prescribed treatments.

      community A Theory on Why Microneedling Works

       170 upvotes 6 years ago
      Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.

      community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

      in Research/Science  19 upvotes 4 months ago
      Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

      community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin

      in Chat  24 upvotes 1 year ago
      A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
