community Didn’t think I could avoid my ba(l)d ass genetics – 5 months update!
A user's experience with early balding and their regimen of finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, vitamin D, and biotin to treat it. Another user asked if the minoxidil had helped with regrowth before they started using it.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community [25, F] [RANT] Shedding since March 2020. This just isn’t fair.
User "missbloombastic" has been experiencing hair loss since 2016 and tried min, fin, multivitamins, and spiro with mixed results. Another user shares their struggle with hair loss and its impact on self-esteem, while a third user suggests checking blood tests and confirming the cause of hair loss.
community Treatment of Male Pattern Baldness with Botulinum Toxin
The conversation discusses using Botox to treat male pattern baldness, suggesting it may promote hair growth by increasing scalp blood flow and oxygen, reducing dihydrotestosterone levels. The user wonders why this treatment is not widely discussed or if it has been discredited.
