community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
