Affordable 92-LED caps may be more effective for hair growth than expensive 270-laser caps due to higher power output and irradiance. The LED caps deliver more energy to the scalp, making them a cost-effective alternative for red light therapy.
community Been on fin for almost a year, which led my friend to also get a prescription. It gave me an idea to make this.
Finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are discussed as treatments for hair loss, with varying opinions on their effectiveness and side effects. Some users believe side effects are rare or psychological, while others emphasize the importance of considering potential side effects.
community "When comparing 5% minoxidil with 0.60 mm or 1.20 mm needle lengths, Faghihi et al. found that 0.60 mm needle lengths led to significant hair count and diameter increases versus 5% minoxidil, whereas 1.20 mm needle lengths only saw hair count increases versus 5% minoxidil"
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for hair count and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
