Combining microneedling with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth, with discussions on device legitimacy and effectiveness. Alternatives like PEMF and the use of oral and topical treatments such as dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride are also considered.

Minoxidil with alcohol and propylene glycol was more effective than non-alcohol versions, and RU58841 worked best in a non-water-based solution. Oral finasteride showed better results than topical, despite side effects; microneedling and tretinoin worsened hair loss, and PRP was only helpful when younger.

Mixing clascoterone with minoxidil involves using 99% ethanol and propylene glycol. Users discuss the effectiveness and potential side effects of this DIY solution.

The user has been using a regimen of topical Minoxidil and Finasteride, oral Minoxidil, topical tretinoin, dutasteride once a week, and microneedling weekly for two years with no progress. Suggestions include taking dutasteride daily instead of weekly.

Minoxidil may cause dark circles and affect collagen, and Tretinoin might help counteract these effects. Users suggest caution with Tretinoin due to potential Vitamin A toxicity and recommend using it sparingly with sunscreen and moisturizer.

The user experienced significant hair regrowth in 5 weeks using Minoxidil, Finasteride, Dutasteride, biotin, collagen, derma stamping, and a mixture of oils, leading others to label them a "hyper responder." Some users advised caution with microneedling frequency to avoid potential scarring.

The user reported significant hair improvement over 15 months using dutasteride, minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, ketoconazole, and microneedling. They are considering a hair transplant in 4-6 months.

A user with mild psoriasis on the scalp is using finasteride, topical minoxidil, and dermarolling for hair loss but plans to stop minoxidil on the crown due to psoriasis aggravation. Suggestions include switching to a lipid-based minoxidil, using Ketoconazole shampoo, or trying oral minoxidil.

Alcohol consumption can trigger hair shedding and affect hair treatment effectiveness, especially in those with autoimmune diseases. Treatments mentioned include RU58841, oral minoxidil, and stemoxydine, with finasteride also noted by another user.

Oral minoxidil caused dark circles and visible veins for the user, who responded quickly to the treatment but lowered the dose to reduce side effects. Despite using finasteride and tretinoin, the user is considering stopping minoxidil if the side effects persist.

Redensyl improved hair thickness slightly with no side effects, but no regrowth. Minoxidil provided significant regrowth but caused facial side effects like puffiness.

The user is using finasteride (1 mg daily), topical minoxidil, and microneedling with a derma stamp for hair loss. They reported shedding stopped and new hair growth appeared after a few months, with no side effects.

Dermastamps are preferred over dermarollers for microneedling due to precision and reduced risk of scarring. Dermastamps allow for controlled, vertical needle entry, while dermarollers may cause more damage with sideways needle entry.

Fluridil degrades androgen receptors, which are prevalent in the scalp and other tissues. People with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may have higher expression of these receptors and 5AR activity in affected scalp areas.

A 33-year-old male is documenting his hair regrowth progress using minoxidil, red light therapy, copper peptides, and micro-needling, with noticeable improvement in hair thickness and coverage. He plans to add a topical finasteride/minoxidil spray and aims for a shadow on his scalp rather than a full head of hair.

A 22-year-old male is using topical dutasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, and microneedling for hair loss, experiencing some side effects like mild ball pain and initial shedding but seeing progress in hair thickness. He plans to increase the dutasteride dose and has tried various treatments, including finasteride and RU58841, with differing side effects.

Use tretinoin three times a week, dermaroll once a week, and apply minoxidil daily, but avoid using all three on the same day. Tretinoin is preferred over hydrocortisone and should not be used immediately after dermarolling.

The user is allergic to minoxidil and plans to try Redensyl hair serum and derma rolling for hair regrowth. They cannot start finasteride until age 18.

Topical spironolactone was ineffective for hair loss according to one user who tried 2% nightly for a few months. The user reported no results.

The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and excessive sebum production, considering Accutane as a potential solution after trying dutasteride and oral minoxidil without success. Other users suggest treatments like Nizoral shampoo, finasteride, beclomethasone dipropionate lotion, and topical androgen receptor inhibitors.

Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.

The conversation discusses concerns about oral minoxidil potentially aging the face by affecting collagen, questioning its systemic effects. The user has successfully used topical minoxidil for years and is hesitant to switch to oral minoxidil.

The user experienced significant hair thinning despite using finasteride and minoxidil, leading to concerns about whether it's a temporary shed or a more serious issue. They plan to start using RU58841 and are advised to consult a doctor to rule out other causes like autoimmune disorders.

User discusses using C60 serum with microneedling at 1.75mm and asks if it's safe. Current routine includes daily Pyril on temples, weekly microneedling, and C60 serum on non-Pyril days.

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically using 2.5mg dutasteride, minoxidil, and sometimes RU58841, with a focus on diffuse thinning versus recession. It also touches on the impact of estrogen levels on hair density.

Vitamin D deficiency can hinder hair recovery, and addressing it may help with hair loss. Hair loss may result from various issues like excess DHT, vitamin deficiency, or scalp inflammation.

A 40+ year old is regrowing their hairline using microneedling, minoxidil, tretinoin, low-level laser therapy, massages, and Nizoral, without using finasteride or dutasteride. They noted progress in hair growth below a birthmark, an area that hadn't seen growth since their teenage years.

Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.

The user noticed longer, thicker peach fuzz and some mature-looking hairs after using estradiol valerate, spironolactone, and 5% minoxidil foam, suggesting possible hairline regrowth. Another user confirmed this could be a positive sign.

Subcutaneous scalp fat may be linked to hair loss, with theories suggesting that fat loss can lead to reduced blood flow and increased DHT activity, contributing to hair loss. Treatments discussed include PRP/PRF injections and fat transfer to improve scalp thickness and blood flow.
