    This study compared the effectiveness of intradermotherapy with 0.5% minoxidil versus topical application of 5% minoxidil solution in treating androgenetic alopecia. It involved 24 participants, divided into two groups: 13 received intradermotherapy and 11 used topical minoxidil. After 12 weeks, both groups showed improved hair density and thickness, with no significant statistical difference between the two methods. The study concluded that intradermotherapy with minoxidil is as effective as topical application for treating androgenetic alopecia.

      community Minoxidil has stopped working for me

      Minoxidil alone is not enough for long-term hair growth without a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride. Users suggest trying lower doses of finasteride or switching to dutasteride to manage side effects and improve results.
