The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
User experienced hair thinning after losing 100 lbs and started Dutasteride treatment. They faced side effects like fatigue, brain fog, and insomnia but no erectile dysfunction.
