Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hairfollicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hairfollicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
