research Elastic tissue in scars and alopecia
The VVG stain effectively differentiates scar tissue from normal skin and helps classify types of permanent alopecia.
research Histopathologic Evaluation of Alopecias
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of different types of hair loss requires careful examination of hair and scalp tissue, considering both clinical and microscopic features.
research Alopecia: histologic changes.
The review found that specific changes in scalp tissue can help diagnose different types of hair loss.
research 250 Sweat glands shrink upward with aging, causing dermal layer defects that lead to loss of skin elasticity and wrinkling-establishment of 3D imaging method for skin appendages
Aging causes sweat glands to shrink and move upward, leading to less elastic skin and more wrinkles.
research Investigating the role of various extracellular matrix in androgenetic alopecia: Insights from immunostaining and quantitative analysis – A pilot study
ECM changes may play a role in hair loss, with differences between males and females.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity One year on finasteride has reversed some aging
Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.
community Tropoelastin injections + verteporfin?
The use of tropoelastin injections and verteporfin for hair transplant recipients to help regrow donor area hairs, as well as research done on tropoelastin injections restoring elastin in scarred heart tissue and skin. There are discussions about why it is taking so long to get cosmetic mass produced tropoelastin injectables on the market.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
community microneedle, any long term users damage?
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
community Fresh off the press: Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility
Dutasteride may cause chronic infertility by reducing semen volume and motility, with concerns about irreversible prostate fibrosis. Users consider switching to finasteride or using treatments like minoxidil and microneedling, weighing hair preservation against fertility.
