research The secondary role of UV light in swimmers melanoma genesis
Hydrogen peroxide is a major risk factor for melanoma in swimmers, more than UV light.
research Determining the Secondary Role of UV Light in Swimmers Melanoma Genesis
Hydrogen peroxide is the main risk factor for melanoma in swimmers, not UV light.
research Weathering of the hairless scalp: a study using skin capacitance imaging and ultraviolet light-enhanced visualization
The study found that long-term sun exposure does not significantly affect follicular plugs on the scalp, and the scalp's appearance is unique compared to other body parts.
research Highlighting nuances of blue light phototherapy: Mechanisms and safety considerations
Blue light therapy is safe for skin and may protect against UV radiation.
research Ultraviolet Light-Induced Leukoderma of the Scalp Associated with Androgenetic Alopecia: Senescent Actinic Depigmentation of the Scalp
UV light causes skin color loss in bald areas; wear a cap and use sunscreen.
research A study of the photolightening mechanism of blond hair with visible and ultraviolet light
Blond hair lightens more with visible light directly, while ultraviolet light lightens it after washing by damaging other hair parts.
research Protein Kinase C Epsilon Signals Ultraviolet Light‐induced Cutaneous Damage and Development of Squamous Cell Carcinoma Possibly Through Induction of Specific Cytokines in a Paracrine Mechanism¶
Protein kinase C epsilon may promote skin cancer development after UV exposure by affecting nearby cells.
research Production of ultraviolet-light-induced skin erythema in the hairless rat: a comparison with the haired rat in screening for anti-inflammatory drugs
Hairless rats are good for testing anti-inflammatory drugs, similar to haired rats, without needing to remove fur.
research Montagna Symposium 2013—Light and Skin: How Light Sustains, Damages, Treats, Images and Modifies Skin Biology
Light affects skin health, aging, and cancer risk, and new light-based treatments and imaging are promising for skin care.
research Key locations of oxidative damage in human hair keratins after heat and ultraviolet light exposure
Heat and UV exposure damage hair structure by altering keratins.
research Decision letter: Role of distinct fibroblast lineages and immune cells in dermal repair following UV radiation-induced tissue damage
Different types of sun exposure can damage skin cells and affect healing, with chronic exposure being more harmful, and certain immune cells help in the repair process.
research A new path in defining light parameters for hair growth: Discovery and modulation of photoreceptors in human hair follicle
Blue light promotes hair growth by interacting with specific receptors in hair follicles.
research Enhancement of skin rejuvenation and hair growth through novel near-infrared light emitting diode (nNIR) lighting: in vitro and in vivo study
Near-infrared LED light improves skin rejuvenation and hair growth better than white LED light.
research <p>Effects of Skin Lightening Cream Agents – Hydroquinone and Kojic Acid, on the Skin of Adult Female Experimental Rats</p>
Hydroquinone may harm skin, while kojic acid and aloe vera could reduce its negative effects.
research Heterogeneity of Polymorphous Light Eruption: A Study of 105 Patients
The study found that polymorphous light eruption varies among patients and can be distinguished from benign summer light eruption by the time it takes for symptoms to appear after sun exposure.
research Identification of the cell lineage at the origin of basal cell carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma mostly starts from cells in the upper skin layers, not hair follicle stem cells.
research Melasma, a photoaging disorder
Melasma is now considered a skin aging disorder caused by sun exposure in people with a genetic tendency, which impacts treatment and prevention approaches.
research Antioxidants in dermatology
Antioxidants can benefit skin health but should be used carefully to avoid negative effects.
research Cutaneous lupus erythematosus
The document concludes that skin biopsies, genetic and environmental factors, and specific treatments are important in managing cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
research Environmental Air Pollutants Affecting Skin Functions with Systemic Implications
Air pollution harms skin health and can worsen skin diseases.
research Telogen effluvium
Chronic Telogen Effluvium may resolve after years and is diagnosed by examining the patient's history and clinical signs, with treatment aimed at underlying causes and possibly minoxidil.
research The Ethnic Differences of the Damage of Hair and Integral Hair Lipid after Ultra Violet Radiation
Asian hair is more resistant to UV damage due to higher lipid content.
research Repigmentation through Melanocyte Regeneration in Vitiligo
UV light can help stimulate the growth of new pigment cells from hair follicles in people with vitiligo.
