GlossarySkin Physiology

study of skin's functions, structure, and responses to environment

Skin physiology refers to the study of how the skin functions, including its roles in protection, sensation, temperature regulation, and synthesis of vital nutrients like vitamin D. It encompasses the understanding of the skin's structure, such as the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous layers, and how these layers interact to maintain overall health and respond to environmental factors.

community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

in Research/Science 63 upvotes 2 years ago

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community PP405 is NOT gray market jxl069

in Technology 26 upvotes 6 months ago

PP405 is a safer alternative to JXL069 for hair loss treatment because it penetrates the skin effectively and degrades in the blood, avoiding systemic toxicity. JXL069, when forced into the body, can cause dangerous side effects like lactic acidosis due to its inability to degrade safely.
