The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.

5 / 27 resultscommunity Topical caffeine is a common ingredient in formulas to prevent hair loss and to induce hair regrowth. (What’s your take on this?)
The conversation discusses whether topical caffeine is effective for hair loss, with some users questioning its role due to its vasoconstrictive and vasodilative properties, while another suggests that temporary vasoconstriction might be beneficial by promoting angiogenesis. Specific treatments mentioned include caffeine shampoo, which one user believes is ineffective.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community Polydopamine Synergizes with Quercetin Nanosystem to Reshape the Perifollicular Microenvironment for Accelerating Hair Regrowth in Androgenetic Alopecia.
A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
community How deep do you microneedle and do you bleed?
The conversation discusses microneedling for hair loss, with the original poster experiencing pinpoint bleeding after using needles of 1.25mm and 0.5mm, possibly due to adding GHK-Cu to their treatment regimen. They are inquiring if others bleed at similar depths.
community Growth factors, VEGF, And more,possible permanent cure for people with moderate hairloss?
The user discusses using dutasteride to stop hair loss and bimatoprost for regrowth. They plan to use VEGF with hydrogels for potentially permanent hair follicle improvement and suggest PRP as an alternative.
