    TLDR Microneedling shows promise for hair loss but needs more research.
    The review highlights the growing interest in microneedling for hair loss treatment due to its minimally invasive nature and ability to stimulate hair growth through controlled skin injury and wound healing. It promotes the release of growth factors and dermal papilla stem cells. However, clinical data are limited, and there is no standardized needle length or procedure. The review suggests that more extensive and multi-center studies could establish microneedling as a key or adjunctive procedure in FDA-approved hair loss treatments. It also discusses its effectiveness in various types of alopecia, including androgenetic alopecia, alopecia areata, and telogen effluvium.

      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

      in Research/Science  107 upvotes 1 month ago
      Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.
