research Clinically Significant Axial Shortening in Myopic Children After Repeated Low-Level Red Light Therapy: A Retrospective Multicenter Analysis

37 citations , January 2023 in “Ophthalmology and Therapy”

In this study, more than 25% of children experienced axial length shortening greater than 0.05 mm/year following repeated low-level red-light therapy.

research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedling combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for treating androgenetic alopecia in Chinese males and molecular mechanistic study of the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway

10 citations , May 2020 in “Journal of Dermatological Treatment”

This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil improved hair growth in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia, possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.

research Is skin microneedling a good alternative method of various skin defects removal

23 citations , September 2018 in “Dermatologic Therapy”

This article explains that skin microneedling promotes skin regeneration by creating microinjuries, which stimulate collagen and elastin production, making it effective for treating various skin issues with high effectiveness, limited side effects, and a short recovery time.

research Insulin Promotes Corneal Nerve Repair and Wound Healing in Type 1 Diabetic Mice by Enhancing Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling

15 citations , August 2020 in “American Journal of Pathology”

This study found that insulin promotes corneal epithelial wound healing and nerve recovery in diabetic mice through Wnt signaling, suggesting its potential as a protective factor for diabetic corneal damage.

research Fibromodulin-Deficiency Alters Temporospatial Expression Patterns of Transforming Growth Factor-β Ligands and Receptors during Adult Mouse Skin Wound Healing

32 citations , March 2014 in “PLOS ONE”

This study demonstrates that FMOD deficiency in mice alters TGF-β ligand and receptor expression during wound healing stages, leading to delayed wound closure and increased scar size.

community Thank to this community - started in may 2022. 5 percent min 2 times daily - 0.5 fin daily - 1.5 mm dermaroller weekly. Started with 1mm deramaroller at start.

in Progress Pictures 77 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their hair loss treatment progress, using 5% Minoxidil twice daily, 0.5 mg Finasteride daily, and a 1.5 mm dermaroller weekly. They started with a 1 mm dermaroller in May 2022.

community Hairloss still progressing on 1mg fin and 5 percent topical min

7 upvotes 6 days ago

Hair loss is still progressing despite using 1mg finasteride and 5% minoxidil for 5 months. The user notices less hair density and fine hairs at the temples.

community Dutasteride and minoxidil : 5 months

in Is this regrowth? 88 upvotes 10 months ago

The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil foam for hair regrowth, applying minoxidil once daily due to side effects from the liquid form. They plan to increase dutasteride dosage and possibly apply minoxidil twice daily, while also using ciclopirox olamine shampoo and sulfur soap.

community Has been on minoxidil for 5 years. Microneedling for 4 weeks no results.

in Minoxidil 27 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has used minoxidil for five years and added microneedling for four weeks without seeing results. They are considering a hair transplant but are advised that hair loss will persist without a DHT blocker.

learn Minoxidil

Vasodilator used on the scalp and, at low doses, as a tablet

Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%, and in one small trial 10% did not beat 5% and caused more irritation. No 10% product is approved in the US, and approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.

learn procapil

Does Procapil block DHT without affecting hormones? What the evidence shows Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Azelaic Acid

Is azelaic acid a treatment on its own or does it need supplements? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil in female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale otherwise rests on in-vitro work. Community members generally describe azelaic acid as an add-on to minoxidil or finasteride rather than a standalone treatment.
azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women, no placebo) found no significant difference between 5% azelaic acid and 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, which is too small to show they work equally well, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work. For alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.

learn Caffeine

Does caffeine stimulate hair growth or only slow hair loss? Caffeine stimulates hair follicles in laboratory cultures, and one open-label, manufacturer-funded trial in 210 men found a 0.2% caffeine topical non-inferior to minoxidil 5% on an anagen-ratio endpoint. A 2025 systematic review found only a few small controlled trials, mostly rated low or very low quality, and none in alopecia areata.
