The conversation discusses using minoxidil with microneedling and considering tretinoin to enhance hair growth, especially for those who are weak responders to minoxidil. It also explores the potential of using tazarotene, a stronger retinoid, to boost minoxidil's effectiveness and addresses purchasing tretinoin from Germany.
community Tazarotene better than Tretinoin with minoxidil?
Switching from tretinoin to tazarotene with minoxidil led to new hair regrowth after years of maintenance. Tazarotene's selectivity and higher concentration might be more effective for hair growth.
community I feel so discouraged. It’s month 3 of microneedling and I see nothing.
The user feels discouraged after three months of microneedling with no visible hair regrowth, despite using 5% topical minoxidil and 200mg of spironolactone. Others suggest waiting 12 months for results, checking vitamin D levels, and considering tretinoin or tazarotene cream instead of microneedling.
community Tazarotene shows strong standalone hair regrowth potential, not just a Minoxidil enhancer. Backed by VEGF, HF regeneration, and angiogenesis pathways. Here’s why.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
