community Is regrowth normally painfully slow?

in Treatment 5 upvotes 2 years ago

The user is experiencing slow but solid hair regrowth using topical finasteride, oral minoxidil, keto shampoo, microneedling, RU58841, and rosemary oil. Another user suggests being grateful for the dense coverage.

community Can microneedling damage existing hair?

in Microneedling 9 upvotes 1 year ago

Microneedling is unlikely to damage existing hair if done with a device using a smaller needle count, like a 9-needle cartridge, and a stamping motion. Hair follicles are deeper than the typical needle penetration depth.

community Microneedling questions (18yo) on RU

in Treatment 1 upvotes 7 months ago

An 18-year-old is seeking advice on microneedling while using RU58841 for hair loss. Recommendations include using a derma pen with 0.5mm needles every two weeks and avoiding RU application for 24 hours post-microneedling to prevent absorption into the bloodstream.

community People who don’t microneedle, why?
