community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.

1741 upvotes 9 months ago

Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.

community There must be many of you by now who have stuck with a microneedling program, how'd you make out?

in Technology 14 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling with finasteride, minoxidil, DMSO, and black seed oil shows mixed hair regrowth results. There are concerns about DMSO's safety and effectiveness.

community Gut microbiome imbalances linked to scalp inflammation and hair follicle impact

in Technology 243 upvotes 4 months ago

Gut microbiome imbalances can cause scalp inflammation and affect hair follicles, potentially leading to hair loss. Treatments include finasteride, peptides like BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, and lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise.

community Attention Guys, I highly recommend everyone to add this to your daily routine

in Microneedling 268 upvotes 1 year ago

Adding a daily scalp massage with an acupressure device before applying minoxidil can enhance its effects by improving blood circulation, with no side effects. Users are advised to continue microneedling weekly and consider using a derma stamp to avoid scarring.

community Microneedling daily at .3mm combined with topical fin/min has been most effective

in Treatment 25 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling daily at 0.3mm combined with topical finasteride and minoxidil is effective for hair thickening, with added benefits from near-infrared therapy. The approach may not improve the front hairline, and deeper microneedling is done monthly for better results.

learn Minoxidil

What microneedling is? Microneedling uses fine needles to make tiny skin wounds that trigger healing. Some devices are FDA-authorized for acne scars; none is authorized for hair loss, where evidence comes mainly from small studies.

learn Scalp Micropigmentation

What kind of needle is used for scalp micropigmentation? Scalp micropigmentation typically uses specialized, sterile, single-use needles for precision.
Are needles reused in scalp micropigmentation? Reputable SMP providers say they use single-use, sterile needles for every client. Ask to see the needle cartridge opened in front of you, because reused or unsterile needles can spread hepatitis and HIV.

learn Microneedling

Is at-home microneedling safe, or should it be done by a dermatologist? The FDA has not authorized any microneedling medical device for over-the-counter sale or cleared any for hair loss, and it lists infection among the risks; skin needling is normally done by a trained clinician.
Can microneedling make topical treatments like minoxidil work better? Small trials report more hair growth when microneedling is added to minoxidil, but the evidence is low quality, and the FDA has not cleared any microneedling device for hair loss or for use with minoxidil.
