4 / 4 resultscommunity Seriously confused about minoxidil's method of action
The conversation discusses confusion about how Minoxidil promotes hair growth compared to other substances like Menthol, which have similar actions. The user mentions personal positive results with peppermint oil extract and is currently trying L-citrulline for its vasodilation effects.
community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
community 2 years later I managed to gain some ground (Hyperresponder)
The user regained most of their hair using Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dermarolling. They found Dermarolling particularly effective, as it promotes growth factors and improves hair thickness.
