community Why do I see so many people here recommend microneedling?
The efficacy of microneedling for hair regrowth as either a stand-alone therapy or adjunct to Minoxidil, and whether Tretinoin is a safer and more effective option. Replies include personal accounts from users who have had success with microneedling in combination with minoxidil and peptide serums, as well as considerations of technique, depth, and potential scarring.
community Countering oral minoxidil side effects by taking collagen supplements?
Oral minoxidil may deplete collagen, potentially causing skin aging. Users discuss whether taking collagen supplements can counteract this effect.
community Why does it seem everyone favors finasteride over dutasteride?
The conversation discusses preferences for hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride over dutasteride. Users share personal experiences, cost considerations, FDA approval status, and potential side effects, with some switching between treatments to find what works best for them.
