5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community What's up with everyone microneedling 1.5 mm per week?
The conversation is about microneedling for hair loss. The conclusion is that there are differing opinions on the depth and frequency of microneedling, with some studies suggesting positive results with 1.5mm depth once a week, while others prefer lower depths and less frequent sessions.
community Using minoxidil for 6 months. Not seeing results
Minoxidil alone is not effective for hair regrowth; adding a DHT blocker like finasteride or dutasteride is recommended. Dermastamping and micro-needling can enhance results, and some users suggest trying oral minoxidil or natural DHT blockers.
community Haircafe video on Min Sulfate, thoughts?
Minoxidil sulfate is considered for those unresponsive to regular minoxidil, with some trying a 10% formulation from Folligenz. Concerns exist about the product's stability and transparency, but some users report positive initial results.
community Cypro to reverse hairloss + Fin?
The conversation discusses using cyproterone temporarily to reverse hair loss, followed by finasteride to maintain regrowth. Concerns about cyproterone's side effects, such as lowering testosterone and potential health risks, are raised, with alternatives like spironolactone suggested for androgen-related issues.
