5 / 1000+ resultscommunity The no BS guide to saving your hair without finasteride (improvement in 90% of patients in the study) with a low side effect profile or improvement in 100% of patients but a higher side effect profile and increased dosage. The future is here?
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling. Oral minoxidil has been found to improve hair density in 90% of patients with a low side effect profile, but using 5mg per day can result in higher side effects including hypertrichosis and edema. Other treatments mentioned include finasteride and RU58841.
community Hi beautiful people! I have a question for all the people, that are experienced with microneedling. When I use a dermaroller (1.0), I am bleeding a bit. I use it every two weeks. Is this normal?
Microneedling for hair loss causes some bleeding, which is normal. Dermapen is recommended over dermaroller to prevent tissue tearing and adjust depth.
