5 / 343 resultsresearch Effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity: Part I
This study examined the effects of repeated exposure to ozonated water on hair fibre structure and integrity. The results showed that ozonated water caused oxidative modifications in hair proteins, lipids, and pigments, leading to changes in structural, chemical, and functional properties. Specifically, there were increases in cysteic acid-related bands and carbonyl groups, indicating protein and lipid oxidation. Morphological changes included cuticle fusion and increased cortical fluorescence. Mechanical properties were affected, with increased denaturation temperature and post-yield stiffness, suggesting altered crosslink density and keratin disruption. Despite these changes, alterations in shine and colour were minimal. The study concludes that ozone exposure results in a unique damage signature affecting both the cuticle and cortex, warranting further investigation into lipidomic and biochemical changes and the hair's response to additional stressors.
research Ozone interactions with human hair: Ozone uptake rates and product formation
Ozone reacts more with unwashed hair, producing compounds due to scalp oils, which could lower ozone exposure but increase exposure to reaction products.
research Possible Therapeutic Effects of Ozone Mixture on Hypoxia in Tumor Development
Ozone therapy might improve cancer treatment and reduce its side effects.
research Use of Phytotherapics, Low Power Laser and Ozone for Biting Wound in Dog
A dog's chronic bite wound healed successfully using a mix of herbal gel, low power laser, and ozone therapy.
research Analysis of epidermal protection using cold air versus chilled sapphire window with water or gel during 810 nm diode laser application
Cold air and a chilled sapphire window both protect the skin during laser treatments, and work better with water or gel, especially for darker skin.

The conversation discusses using peppermint oil for hair loss, with one user applying it undiluted to the scalp and another combining it with finasteride and microneedling. Some believe in its effectiveness despite limited scientific evidence, and also mention rosemary oil as potentially beneficial.
community Why isn't fluridil more widely used and known about?
Fluridil, an antiandrogen that is not widely used or known about due to its expense and lack of availability in the US. It is suggested as a potential alternative for people who don't want to lower their DHT through treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, Nizoral shampoo, and Dermarolling.
community Why should more people explore the "new frontiers" of treatment (Megathread).
The conversation discusses exploring new hair loss treatments beyond popular ones like Finasteride, Minoxidil, and Ketoconazole. Specific treatments mentioned include ozone therapy, Dutasteride mesotherapy, RegeneraActiva, microcurrent electrical hair stimulation, Nourkrin, and BioEqua Enercharger.
community All my gains from minoxidil fell out years later
The user experienced hair loss after initially gaining hair with minoxidil and is now using dutasteride and oral minoxidil alongside topical minoxidil, hoping to regain lost hair. There is uncertainty about the effectiveness of these treatments, with some users suggesting that blocking DHT might help, while others express skepticism about regrowth.
community Chlorine dioxide: An effective product?
Chlorine dioxide was discussed as a potential hair growth treatment, with a method involving spraying it on the scalp and covering it with a cap. Concerns were raised about its safety, comparing it to bleach.
