5 / 1000+ resultsresearch The Gross Morphology and Scanning Electron Microscopic Evaluation of the Skin Surface in Congenic Strains of Hairless Mice
Hairless mice lose hair by 3-4 weeks, develop thicker, folded skin, and show pigmentation differences.
research Penetration of silver nanoparticles into porcine skinex vivousing fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, Raman microscopy, and surface-enhanced Raman scattering microscopy
Silver nanoparticles can penetrate porcine skin up to about 15.6 μm, possibly through hair follicles.
research Microscopy of the hair and trichogram
Hair microscopy is a useful and affordable way to diagnose hair disorders.
research Investigation of in vitro and in vivo skin permeability using laser scanning microscopy
Nanoparticles in sunscreen are generally safe as they stay on the skin's surface.
research Evaluation of Skin Penetration of Fluorescent Dissolved Formulations Using Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy
Moderately lipophilic dyes penetrate skin deeply, while highly hydrophobic or lipophilic dyes stay on the surface.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity What is this pigmentation around my follicles?
The conversation discusses potential causes of pigmentation around hair follicles, suggesting sebum buildup, autoimmune conditions, or dermatitis. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, and an anti-inflammatory diet, with a recommendation to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis.
community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?
Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.
community Just got a dermastamp, and it is FAR superior to a roller. I’ll never go back.
A user switched from a 1.5 mm derma roller to an adjustable dermastamp for microneedling to treat hair loss and found it less painful and more effective. Some users prefer different depths and tools like the Dr.Pen for microneedling, while others debate the necessity of depth and tool type.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
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.
