research Adipose Infiltration of the Dermis, Involving the Arrector Pili Muscle, and Dermal Displacement of Eccrine Sweat Coils: New Histologic Observations in Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
The conclusion is that fat tissue in the skin is a new finding in Frontal fibrosing alopecia and may contribute to hair follicle and muscle degeneration.
research 1407 Mechanical force activation of TGF-β signaling controls hair follicle regression
Muscle around hair follicles controls hair loss by releasing a signal that causes cell death.
research Histological Study for Skin of Horse
Horse skin has a layered epidermis, a dermis with hair follicles, sweat and sebaceous glands, and is supplied by small arteries.
research Clinical and Histologic Features of 64 Cases of Steatocystoma Multiplex

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How do you distinguish miniaturised hairs from velus hairs regrowing from dormant follicles around temples?
The conversation discusses difficulty in distinguishing between new hair growth and thinning hair at the temples after using microneedling and a rosemary peppermint topical for four weeks. The advice given is to wait a few months to see if the hairs grow out to determine their nature.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community Update about Hair Follicle Glucose Metabolism: New Clinical Data Collection with Ex-President Of American Board Of Hair Restoration Surgery.
David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community Dutasteride SAVES your hair follicles: MAJOR BS on people who say it destroyed their hair permanently.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
