A 20 year old male who is balding and considering switching to a biology/chemistry program in order to find a low-cost, accessible solution for hair loss. Replies discuss the merits of this idea as well as potential treatments such as Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, TM5614, and ADQ.
community Reddit’s Amatorial microneedling meta analysis of 11 different Clinical studies for a Total of 559 patients (Scalp microneedling + topical minoxidil 5%, safety, efficacy and Ideal protocol)
Microneedling with 5% minoxidil improves hair growth for hair loss patients. Best protocol: 1.5mm dermaroller weekly for 12 weeks or 0.6mm dermapen every 2 weeks for 12 weeks, skipping topicals for 24 hours.
community New to Microneedling - Dermastamping and Dermapen - Read the studies - still confused
The post discusses the confusion about the optimal microneedling depth and frequency for hair growth, and when to apply treatments like minoxidil. A reply suggests the best method is using a 1.25mm depth every 7 days with a specific device, holding it for 10 seconds to stimulate hair growth.
community Why is nobody studying the difference between donor and balding hair?
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Why is minoxidil the “regrowth stimulant” and finasteride “the maintenance”, when official studies show more growth on finasteride ?
Finasteride is more effective for long-term hair maintenance by addressing the root cause of hair loss, while minoxidil acts as a growth stimulant with faster visible results. Combining both treatments is optimal, with oral minoxidil often showing better results for some individuals.
