Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
community 3-5 months of Finasteride, Minoxidil, RLLT, Nizoral, and Microneedling. Is this regrowth?
The user is using Minoxidil, Finasteride, RLLT, Nizoral Shampoo, and microneedling for hair regrowth. They notice some thickening and new hair growth, especially in the front, but are unsure about the overall regrowth due to previous head shaving and photo comparisons.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community 1 Year Oral Finasteride + Minoxidil Results — No Microneedling or Other Treatments Used
A 23-year-old used daily oral finasteride (1.1mg) and minoxidil (3mg) for a year, resulting in significant hair regrowth, especially at the left temple, and increased eyebrow density. The user experienced mild initial shedding and itchiness but no other treatments were used, and libido normalized quickly after a slight initial dip.
community Can i maintain Min progress with Fin/micro needling only ?
The user experienced serious hair loss and started using finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, and argan/rosemary oil. They are asking if they can maintain hair regrowth by stopping minoxidil and continuing only with finasteride and microneedling.
