    TLDR Microneedling with triamcinolone is a safe, effective, and less painful treatment for alopecia areata.
    The study compared the effectiveness of intralesional triamcinolone acetonide versus microneedling with triamcinolone acetonide in treating alopecia areata (AA) in 50 patients. Results showed a significant reduction in the SALT score and dystrophic hair markers in both treatment groups, with no significant difference in clinical response between them. The conclusion was that microneedling, especially when combined with triamcinolone acetonide, was an effective, safe, and less invasive treatment option for AA, offering a cost-effective and less painful alternative with no serious complications.

      A 26-year-old uses topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, and Nizoral shampoo for hair thinning and is considering microneedling but is unsure about the best approach. Users suggest using a 1.0mm dermaroller once a week, cautioning against overuse due to potential scarring, and some recommend combining microneedling with minoxidil for better absorption.

      Microneedling combined with minoxidil and finasteride initially showed significant hair growth, but stopping microneedling and reducing minoxidil use led to hair loss. Returning to the original routine may help regain lost progress.
