5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Comparison of Microneedling with Platelet Rich Plasma vs Minoxidil (5%)+Finasteride (0.1%) Topical Therapy in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Randomised Clinical Study
This study compared the effectiveness and safety of microneedling with PRP versus minoxidil and finasteride topical therapy in adult males with androgenetic alopecia, finding similar hair density improvements in both groups, though microneedling with PRP had a quicker onset of action.
research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedling combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for treating androgenetic alopecia in Chinese males and molecular mechanistic study of the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil improved hair growth in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia, possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
research Microneedling in androgenetic alopecia; comparing two different depths of microneedles
In this study, microneedling with a depth of 0.6 mm, alongside minoxidil, significantly improved hair count and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to minoxidil alone, and was more beneficial than a 1.2 mm depth.
research Effects of microneedling with 5% minoxidil topical solution combination therapy in treatment of androgenetic alopecia
This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil significantly improved hair appearance in androgenetic alopecia patients, with high patient satisfaction and no severe adverse events.
research The boosting effect of minoxidil 0.1% when combined with dutasteride 0.01% and microneedling in the treatment of female pattern hair loss
This study found that combining minoxidil 0.1% and dutasteride 0.01% applied topically after microneedling was significantly more effective than using dutasteride alone with microneedling in improving female pattern hair loss in 40 female patients.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Why are we using 1.5mm for microneedling? Evidence says we don't need to.
Shorter microneedle lengths, like 0.5mm, may be more effective and safer for hair regrowth than longer ones, such as 1.5mm, which can cause more pain and risk. Users report success with various regimens, including minoxidil, finasteride, and other topicals, alongside microneedling.
community Microneedling frequency at 1.5 mm for hair growth
Microneedling at 1.5 mm should be done every 4 to 6 weeks, not weekly, to prevent scalp trauma and improve hair growth. The user is also using 0.5 mg dutasteride daily, 5 mg minoxidil daily, and started RU58841 two months ago.
community Hair Restoration Log (Weekly 1.5 mm microneedling + QOD 0.5 mg Finasteride + Daily 50 mg 5% RU58841)
The user experienced side effects from daily 1 mg Finasteride and switched to 0.5 mg every other day, supplemented with creatine, tongkat ali, tribulus terrestris, vitamin D3, bromantane, l-tyrosine, and caffeine. They also use weekly 1.5 mm microneedling and daily 50 mg RU58841, except on microneedling days, to manage hair loss.
community Fin 2y + Minox 2mo + Microneedling 1.5mm 1x/mo Results
The user experienced hair regrowth using finasteride for 2 years, minoxidil for 2 months, and microneedling once a month. They reported no side effects and used 5% topical minoxidil in liquid form.
community Progress 3 months (minoxidil 5% plus weekly microneedling 1.5mm)
A 41-year-old man shared his 3-month hair regrowth progress using 5% minoxidil and weekly microneedling. He applies minoxidil nightly and uses a topical mix of coffee, olive oil, rosemary oil, and vitamin oil after morning microneedling.
