Microneedling does not prevent future hair transplants, but some surgeons report the skin becomes "harder" in treated areas. There is no clear evidence to confirm this effect.
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
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.
Exosome injections stimulate hair growth by using exosomes' healing potential to awaken dormant hair follicles and promote new hair cell creation. The procedure increases scalp blood circulation, encourages collagen and elastin formation, and regenerates hair follicles, improving hair thickness and quality.
User switched from finasteride to combination dutasteride and finasteride for hair density improvement. They noticed less hair shedding and more youthful skin, with a reply suggesting less DHT could increase elastin in skin.
