This study found that a topical hedgehog agonist can stimulate hair growth by promoting the transition from the resting to growth phase of the hair cycle in adult mouse skin.
Microneedling combined with 5% Minoxidil and finasteride significantly improves hair growth compared to using Minoxidil or Minoxidil with finasteride alone. The combination treatment is safe and effective, but further research is needed due to smallsample size and short study duration.
Oral minoxidil may cause dry skin and dark eye bags but doesn't significantly age the skin. Topical minoxidil is toxic to cats, and some users prefer finasteride.
The user experienced persistent acne and skin issues with dutasteride, leading them to stop its use. They switched to finasteride, which caused mild acne and potential liver concerns, prompting consideration of alternative treatments like topical finasteride and GHK-Cu.
Minoxidil is extremely toxic to cats, even in small amounts, and can be fatal. Switching to oral minoxidil is safer for cat owners, but precautions should still be taken to prevent exposure.
Microneedling's effectiveness for hair growth is debated, with some users reporting positive results when combined with Minoxidil, while others express concerns about potential skin damage and infections. Tretinoin is suggested as an alternative to enhance Minoxidil absorption.
