5 / 105 resultscommunity 3mm microneedling with derma-stamp?
The conversation discusses experimenting with microneedling for hair loss, with OP considering using a 3mm derma-stamp. Other users advise against going beyond 1.5mm to avoid damage.
community I had GPT create a comparison of pp405 week 8 results vs Fin and Min
PP405 shows significantly better early-stage hair regrowth results compared to minoxidil and finasteride, with 31% of users experiencing over 20% density increase in 4–8 weeks. Minoxidil and finasteride show minimal or no visible regrowth in the same timeframe.
community me looking at all the hyper responder posts while I'm still losing ground 2 years on finasteride
People are frustrated with hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, with mixed results and side effects. Some users suggest trying different combinations or doses, while others express disappointment and hope for a cure.
community Microneedling to maintain results from min
Microneedling alone is not effective in maintaining minoxidil results for hair growth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride may enhance results, but microneedling by itself is not a reliable treatment.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
