community The ending of alopecia? Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Corticosterone inhibits GAS6, affecting hair follicle stem-cell activity, with potential implications for stress-related hair loss. Ashwagandha and Vitamin K are suggested for reducing cortisol, but their effectiveness is debated.
community What happened to that guy who’s been drinking topical minoxidil?!
A user tried various hair growth treatments, including drinking topical minoxidil, using oral minoxidil and finasteride, and applying GHK-Cu, growth hormone peptides, and liposomal sulforaphane. They experienced thicker hair, while others discussed the risks and benefits of these methods.

Some specific treatments that were discussed include finasteride, RU58841, dutasteride, minoxidil, pyritinol, dermarolling, and diet/lifestyle changes.
community Microneedling and miniaturized hair follicles depth
Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.
