5 / 484 resultscommunity Microneedling scarring or not? Doesn't it make the situation worse?
Microneedling can help with hair loss by inducing collagen if done correctly, but improper technique may cause scarring and worsen the condition. Some users apply dissolved vitamin C before and after microneedling to enhance results.
community Scarring Alopecia and NSAIDs?
The user suspects scarring alopecia and is exploring NSAIDs and turmeric/pepper for inflammation-related hair loss, having experienced burning and thinning with finasteride and testosterone reduction. They are seeking feedback while unable to afford a dermatologist.
community Would Verteporfin potentially work for scarring alopecia?
Verteporfin is discussed as a potential treatment for scarring alopecia. Minoxidil is suggested as an alternative treatment.
community How can I tell if I have scarring from dermastamping?
The user is concerned about potential scarring from using a 1.5mm dermastamp for hair loss treatment and is advised to use shallower depths (0.5-0.75mm) and reduce frequency to avoid damage. They also use topical minoxidil and finasteride, and plan to stop stamping temporarily to assess changes.
community So did the experiments with verteporfin for hair transplant scarring regrowth fall through?
Verteporfin reduces scar tissue in hair transplants but doesn't significantly regrow hair follicles. More testing is needed to determine its effectiveness.

- What are the risks and side effects of a hair transplant? Common risks include swelling, redness, infection, scarring, and temporary hair loss.
- Is metformin used topically for hair loss, or only as an oral tablet? Approved metformin products are oral tablets only; there is no approved topical metformin for hair loss. Published human reports of topical use are a handful of uncontrolled, pharmacy-compounded case reports in scarring alopecia, and the most-cited clinical series actually used the oral drug.
- RU58841: Is it safe or does it have strange side effects? (Because no one wants unpleasant surprises) There is no published human safety study of RU58841: the evidence is animal and tissue work only, human absorption has never been measured, and the side effects users describe are self-reported with unverified product.
- Got small bald circles with no warning? Centella creams might calm the area and kickstart new growth. There is no published human trial of Centella asiatica for alopecia areata or any other hair loss; the only hair-related studies are cell-culture work. Community users describe Centella creams as soothing for an irritated scalp, not as regrowth treatments, and a new bald patch needs a doctor's diagnosis first.
