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.

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 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 PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
