Interventions for Central Serous Chorioretinopathy: A Network Meta-Analysis

Combining microneedling with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth, with discussions on device legitimacy and effectiveness. Alternatives like PEMF and the use of oral and topical treatments such as dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride are also considered.

A participant using Veradermics VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, experienced significant hair regrowth from Norwood 6 to Norwood 3V without side effects. They plan to use dutasteride after the treatment to maintain results.

Verteporfin, combined with microneedling, shows promise for hair regrowth by allowing hair follicles to grow in wounds, but it's expensive and painful. Pai-1 inhibitors may also help prevent hair loss by degrading fibrosis, and some users continue using minoxidil alongside these treatments.

Dermal incision with verteporfin is being explored as a potential hair loss treatment by dermatologist Melissa Toyos, with promising before-and-after photos shared on social media. The conversation discusses its potential effectiveness compared to other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.

The user is seeking advice on maximizing hair growth while using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, Nizoral, and microneedling, and is considering adding a laser diode cap, topical finasteride, retinol, and caffeine. Suggestions include using tretinoin with minoxidil for better absorption, switching to dutasteride, and considering RU58841 or pyrilutamide.

A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.
