Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
Affordable 92-LED caps may be more effective for hair growth than expensive 270-laser caps due to higher power output and irradiance. The LED caps deliver more energy to the scalp, making them a cost-effective alternative for red light therapy.
The user is seeking advice on maximizing hair growth while using oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, Nizoral, and microneedling, and is considering adding a laserdiode cap, topical finasteride, retinol, and caffeine. Suggestions include using tretinoin with minoxidil for better absorption, switching to dutasteride, and considering RU58841 or pyrilutamide.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of commercial Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) devices for hair growth, suggesting they are underpowered compared to the ideal energy output shown in medical research. A user plans to build a custom helmet that meets the required specifications for effective treatment.
The conversation is about finding an affordable and effective low level laser therapy device for hair loss, with a preference for a cap but open to a comb.
