5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Changes of the skin barrier and bacterial colonization after hair removal by clipper and by razor
The study compared the effects of hair removal using a clipping device versus a disposable razor on the skin barrier and bacterial colonization in 12 healthy volunteers. Results indicated that both methods reduced bacterial colony-forming units, but clipping led to a greater reduction and a continuous decrease over time. In contrast, the razor-treated group experienced an increase in bacterial colonization from baseline to 24 hours post-removal. Additionally, the use of a razor resulted in more microlesions and a significant increase in transepidermal water loss, indicating skin barrier disruption. Clipping did not significantly affect transepidermal water loss. The study concluded that clipping is less disruptive to the skin barrier than shaving with a razor, which could be beneficial in preventing surgical site infections and improving postoperative wound management.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
