Microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride greatly improves hair regrowth. Using 0.5mm depth every other day boosts minoxidil absorption without side effects.
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Brian Dye's theory links skeletal malocclusion type II to hair loss, suggesting it's a blood flow issue. Treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, and anti-inflammatory drugs like benaxoprofen.

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
