Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stemcells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
The post discusses the difference in effects of Minoxidil (Min) on scalp and facial hair. The user questions why Min-induced hair growth on the scalp is temporary, while facial hair growth seems permanent, even after stopping Min. They propose theories, including different Min mechanisms on body and facial hair, the role of DHT, and the possibility of not achieving fully terminal hair. The responses include personal experiences and theories about Min's effects on hair growth.
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stemcells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
