If the main mechanism of microneedling is an increase in bloodflow to the scalp, shouldn't we be pursuing other actions which increase bloodflow? Sauna, cold showers, high dosage fish oil, hard cardio, heme-iron(red meats), HAND STANDS, foods high in NO (arugula), ginger, increased water consumption Question 9/30/2019
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community Haircafe on why microneedling is bad for hair growth
Microneedling combined with minoxidil and finasteride shows significant hair regrowth, though opinions on its effectiveness vary. Some users report substantial benefits, while others highlight the need for more research and consistency in application.
community If you aren't happy with your results but haven't tried microneedling: why not?
Microneedling with minoxidil significantly boosts hair growth, even for non-responders to minoxidil alone. The routine includes a 1.5mm dermaroller weekly and minoxidil twice daily, with some users adding finasteride and tretinoin.
community TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
