5 / 29 resultscommunity Micro needling 25 days progress. I’ve been on fin and min for 6 months but micro needling has done SO much more to actually restore my hairline
A user shared a 25-day progress picture showing significant hairline restoration attributed to microneedling, in addition to using minoxidil and finasteride for 6 months. Other users discussed needle length, frequency, and whether the effects of microneedling are permanent.
community M32, almost 3 moths, fin oral 1,25g/daily + min 2xday + keto 2% shapoo 1/week microneedling once a week
A 32-year-old man has been treating his hair loss with daily oral finasteride (1.25g), twice-daily topical minoxidil, weekly ketoconazole 2% shampoo, and weekly microneedling for almost three months, with no side effects from finasteride. He started with a Hamilton Norwood scale rating of 5 and has seen improvement without experiencing pain by using a 0.8mm needle length for microneedling.
community The Worst Hair Loss Condition You (MAY) have: LPP
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanent hair loss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Best Microneedle Lengths To Stimulate Stem Cells
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
