    TLDR MMP® with minoxidil may improve hair growth in chronic telogen effluvium.
    This case report examines the use of Microinfusion of drugs into the skin (MMP®) with minoxidil for treating chronic telogen effluvium (CTE) in a 28-year-old female. Over three monthly sessions, MMP® with 0.5% minoxidil was applied to the right scalp, followed by daily 5% minoxidil application. Results showed a modest improvement in hair density, with an increase of 47 hairs in the parieto-vertex region. The treatment was well-tolerated, suggesting that MMP® may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness by activating growth factors and the Wnt signaling pathway. However, further research with larger, controlled trials is necessary to confirm its efficacy.

      The user applies 2ml of a lotion containing 5% minoxidil, 0.3% finasteride, hydrocortisone butyrate, and cetirizine before bed, but it leaves a residue on the scalp. Another user suggests reducing the amount to 1ml, as 2ml results in a high finasteride dosage.
