5 / 5 resultscommunity Finasteride and already miniaturised hairs
Finasteride is being used to prevent further hair loss, with hopes of thickening existing thin hair, but results are slow. Users suggest adding minoxidil, dermastamping, and possibly dutasteride for better results.
community Vellus/miniaturized hair - when are they really too miniaturized to regrow?
Miniaturized hair can potentially regrow unless the follicle is destroyed, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and lifestyle changes playing a significant role. Some users report success with additional treatments like estrogen, ketoconazole, and derma stamping, emphasizing the importance of routine and overall health.
community Microneedling and miniaturized hair follicles depth
Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community Scheduled a transplant… but my hair made a comeback and now I’m confused (18 months progress)
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using finasteride and minoxidil, leading to doubts about proceeding with a planned hair transplant. Many suggest postponing the transplant to save grafts for future needs, as the current results are impressive.
