A 35-year-old male uses topical minoxidil, spironolactone, and microneedling for hair loss, with spironolactone prescribed based on a DNA test indicating poor response to finasteride and dutasteride. Despite concerns about the test's validity and spironolactone's side effects, he reports stable or improved hair condition and no low testosterone symptoms.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
User shared successful hair regrowth results using Minoxidil and Microneedling with a Dr. Pen M8 model. Discussed routine, needle depth, and frequency for optimal results.
The post discusses frustration over the limited and not always effective treatments for hair loss, mainly Minoxidil and Finasteride. The conversation includes mentions of potential new treatments like GT20029, HMI-115, CosmeRNA, KX-826, and microneedling, but also highlights the challenges of funding and prioritizing research in this area.
Microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride greatly improves hair regrowth. Using 0.5mm depth every other day boosts minoxidil absorption without side effects.
