research Keloid Formation and Any Skin Complications in Patients Treated With Isotretinoin and Undergone Any Skin‐Related Procedures
This study reviewed 34 studies involving 1563 patients to assess the necessity of delaying skin procedures after isotretinoin treatment for acne vulgaris. The findings suggest that there is insufficient evidence to support delaying procedures like laser hair removal, fractional lasers, chemical peels, and dermabrasion. However, fully ablative lasers, mechanical dermabrasion, and ablative radiofrequency are not recommended during isotretinoin use. It is advised to use a lower dose of isotretinoin for all skin procedures, particularly aggressive ones. Further research is needed to determine the safety and optimal timing for these procedures.
research A study of the effects of physical dermabrasion combined with chemical peeling in porcine skin
Combining physical dermabrasion with chemical peeling is more effective for skin treatment than chemical peeling alone.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 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 How to deal with mechanically induced shedding
Minoxidil can cause scalp dryness and flaking, leading to hair shedding when exfoliating. Alternatives like oral Minoxidil, finasteride, and ketoconazole shampoo are suggested to manage these issues.
community Funny Encounter With a Mechanic - Hair Loss Update
The user has been taking 3.75mg of finasteride weekly for 8 months, which has improved their hairline and hair texture. They shared a humorous encounter with a bald mechanic who complimented their hair, unaware of the finasteride use.
community Regrowing my hair/line without Min or Fin September (update) mechanical stimulation
The user regrew their hairline using mechanical stimulation, including a 1.5mm derma roller weekly, daily scalp massages, and other treatments like Nizoral, zinc pyrithione, fish oil, and Lipogaine The Big 5. They did not use Minoxidil or finasteride.
community Finally jumped on Fin after decent regrowth using all natural regime (mechanical stimulation)
The user experienced good hair regrowth using natural methods and mechanical stimulation but decided to add finasteride to their regimen for better results. They are optimistic about further regrowth and plan to update on the effects of finasteride, noting no significant side effects so far.
