5 / 224 resultscommunity Red Light Therapy: Cheap Chinese LED caps are better than $3000 laser caps
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 "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.
community A friend suggested I post here. I've been using tretinoin .05% for 3 months and I've had regrowth in my temples and hairline. Just tretinoin, no Minoxidil or fin/dut
Tretinoin alone has led to hair regrowth in the temples and hairline. The user is considering oral minoxidil or dutasteride but prioritizes health first.
community Finasteride is ****ing magical
Finasteride has led to significant hair regrowth for some users, with noticeable improvements in two months, but side effects like erectile dysfunction have caused some to stop using it. Some users combine finasteride with minoxidil and other supplements, despite concerns about side effects.
community Dutasteride mesotherapy - who has tried it?
Dutasteride mesotherapy combined with topical minoxidil led to some hair regrowth, but taking dutasteride pills every 2-3 days showed more noticeable results. The user did not try finasteride, as their dermatologist recommended dutasteride for better outcomes with fewer side effects at a reduced dosage.
