research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedle combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for the treatment of Chinese male Androgenetic alopecia
This study found that combining microneedle treatments with 5% minoxidil topical solution led to the greatest increase in hair density among Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia.
research Randomized trial of electrodynamic microneedling combined with 5% minoxidil topical solution for treating androgenetic alopecia in Chinese males and molecular mechanistic study of the involvement of the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway
This study found that combining microneedling with 5% minoxidil improved hair growth in Chinese men with androgenetic alopecia, possibly through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway.
research Randomized trial of microneedling combined with 2% minoxidil topical solution for the treatment of female pattern hair loss in a Chinese population
In this study, combining 2% minoxidil with weekly microneedling significantly improved hair regrowth in women with female pattern hair loss compared to using minoxidil alone, with an 85% effective rate reported in the group receiving both treatments over a 24-week period.

5 / 174 resultscommunity Creatine Does Not Increase DHT And Does Not Cause Hair Loss - Randomized Controlled Trial
Creatine does not increase DHT levels or cause hair loss. Personal experiences vary, but scientific evidence shows no link between creatine and hair loss.
community Does creatine cause hair loss? A 12-week randomized controlled trial - PubMed
Creatine does not directly cause hair loss, but it may increase DHT levels, which can affect hair. Some users report hair shedding with creatine, while others experience no hair loss.
community Korean Laser Helmet has a 44% increase in hair growth vs 0% growth in placebo in a double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial.
A Korean laser helmet increases hair growth by 44% compared to a placebo. Users discuss its cost-effectiveness, clinical support, and compare it to treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, focusing on wavelength and energy density.
community Pumkin Seed Oil 400mg/day oral, 6 month Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial (N=76)
Pumpkin seed oil may increase hair count but not thickness, though its effectiveness is debated. Some suggest using topical finasteride or saw palmetto instead.
community Pelage have presented only phase 2a. The rest of phase 2 for PP405 will be presented at a later medical meeting
PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.

8 / 801 results- Minoxidil 2%, 5% and 10% which is better to use? In a randomized trial in men, 5% topical minoxidil produced more hair growth than 2%. There is no approved 10% product and no head-to-head trial showing it beats 5%; higher strengths mainly add irritation and systemic absorption. Approved strengths differ by sex, so check the label for your product.
- Is azelaic acid a treatment on its own or does it need supplements? One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil in female pattern hair loss, and the anti-DHT rationale otherwise rests on in-vitro work — community members generally describe azelaic acid as an add-on to minoxidil or finasteride rather than a standalone treatment.
- azelaic acid: Does it work for all types of hair loss or just DHT? One small randomised trial (26 women) found 5% azelaic acid comparable to 2% minoxidil for female pattern hair loss, and the anti-DHT rationale rests on laboratory work; for alopecia areata, telogen effluvium and seborrhoeic dermatitis there is no trial evidence for azelaic acid at all.
- Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hair loss is linked to DHT? The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
- How long should I wait to see if Alfatradiol is working for me? The one randomised trial and community reports both point to waiting at least 3 to 6 months, and to expecting stabilised shedding rather than regrowth — the published evidence for alfatradiol is a single six-month study in about 100 women.
