5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I don't know how microneedling works so well but it does.
Microneedling, combined with finasteride and minoxidil, appears to enhance hair growth, with users reporting noticeable improvements. The process involves using a 0.5mm derma roller, which some believe increases blood flow and stimulates hair follicles.
community I literally can’t find any evidence of sulfotransferase being upregulated by microneedling or retinoids like tretinoin
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
community I think treatment is really working
