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.

Tretinoin's effectiveness for hair regrowth alone is questioned, with interest in its use with oral minoxidil. The discussion also considers whether finasteride or dutasteride is the better DHT blocker and if switching to dutasteride is advisable for those without side effects from finasteride.
