research Penetration enhancer-containing vesicles (PEVs) as carriers for cutaneous delivery of minoxidil
PEVs improve minoxidil skin penetration, increasing hair growth.
research Smoking and the skin
Smoking harms the skin, causing early aging and increasing cancer risk, but stopping smoking can improve skin health.
research Liposomes in cosmeceutics
Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.
research Novel micelle formulations to increase cutaneous bioavailability of azole antifungals
New micelle solutions greatly improve skin delivery of certain antifungal drugs.
research Clinical use of conditioned media of adipose tissue-derived stem cells in female pattern hair loss: a retrospective case series study
ADSC-CM treatment improved hair density and thickness in women with hair loss, safely and effectively.
research Safety of testosterone treatment in postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy seems safe for postmenopausal women for a few years, but more research is needed for long-term effects.
research Management of acne
Acne treatment varies, with topical and systemic therapies effective, and more research needed on treatment order and long-term effects.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Drug discovery for alopecia: gone today, hair tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Transcutaneous implantation of valproic acid-encapsulated dissolving microneedles induces hair regrowth
Tiny needles with valproic acid can effectively regrow hair.
research Venous and pulmonary thromboembolism and combined hormonal contraceptives. Systematic review and meta-analysis
Some birth control pills have a higher risk of blood clots than others.
research Delivery of Tissue-Targeted Scalpels: Opportunities and Challenges for In Vivo CRISPR/Cas-Based Genome Editing
Using CRISPR for gene editing in the body is promising but needs better delivery methods to be more efficient and specific.
research Relative uptake of minoxidil into appendages and stratum corneum and permeation through human skin in vitro
Minoxidil promotes hair growth by penetrating skin, with ethanol-containing formulas working best.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
research The Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Field of Hair Restoration and Facial Aesthetics—A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy can promote hair growth and improve facial aesthetics, including reducing acne scars and facial burns, and it works best with three initial monthly injections.
research Microneedling dilates the follicular infundibulum and increases transfollicular absorption of liposomal sepia melanin
Microneedling helps increase the absorption of a melanin product into hair follicles, which may improve laser hair removal effectiveness.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Preparation and evaluation of a multimodal minoxidil microemulsion versus minoxidil alone in the treatment of androgenic alopecia of mixed etiology: a pilot study
Multimodal minoxidil microemulsion is more effective in treating hair loss than minoxidil alone.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Fabrication of polyvinyl pyrrolidone-K90/Eudragit RL100-based dissolving microneedle patches loaded with alpha-arbutin and resveratrol for skin depigmentation
