A 78-year-old man regrew hair after suffering burns, suggesting that injury-induced healing processes might trigger hair growth. Microneedling and other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as potential methods to stimulate similar regrowth.
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
Finasteride mainly prevents further hair loss by blocking DHT but doesn't reverse existing damage, while minoxidil can promote regrowth by waking dormant follicles. Ketoconazole helps with inflammation, but none of these treatments can reverse fibrosis or structural changes around hair follicles.
People discussed using finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride for hair loss, with mixed results and side effects. Some had positive outcomes, while others experienced issues like libido changes and chose alternatives like hair systems.
