The user is using topical dutasteride, finasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin but seeing no results or side effects. They also microneedle every two weeks but experience little bleeding, questioning if a thick scalp is preventing treatment effectiveness.
community Topical minoxidil + Age-R Booster-H-device = Vast improvements in my hair recovery.
The user reported significant hair recovery using topical minoxidil combined with the Age-R Booster-H-device, alongside oral finasteride and weekly dermaroller use. The device improved minoxidil absorption, leading to visible new hair growth.
community The Korean began to suspect something. But they understood the mechanism to some extent. ( Cold shock therapy promotes hair growth in association with upregulation of cold-inducible RNA-binding protein and vascular endothelial growth factor)
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
community Does drinking coffee offset the effects of Minoxidil?
The conversation discusses whether drinking coffee affects the hair growth benefits of Minoxidil, with one user mentioning that Minoxidil's vasodilation is stronger than caffeine's vasoconstriction, and another sharing personal experience of better hair growth after quitting caffeine while on Minoxidil.
community Is it Ritalin? (23 F)
A user suspects Ritalin is causing hair loss due to vasoconstriction and is considering trying Ginkgo Biloba after already taking a multivitamin and hair supplement. Another user mentions experiencing hair shedding with Vyvanse and Dexedrine.
