The conversation is about finding a pure high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for the scalp after microneedling. A user suggests using a product from The Ordinary.
community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)
Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
community Does anyone know the main driver for the efficacy of micro-needling?
Microneedling may enhance hair loss treatment by increasing the effectiveness of topical minoxidil, especially for those lacking the necessary enzyme to activate it. It might also work by triggering growth factors and improving topical absorption.
community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
community Needling project, I'm needling half of my head
A person is experimenting with microneedling on one temple while using Minoxidil to address hair loss. They plan to needle weekly and apply Minoxidil twice daily, avoiding application around needling sessions.
community Sebaceous filaments / blackheads on scalp - are they a cause of MPB or a symptom?
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 How is scalp sensitivity even measured?
There are no tests to determine genetic follicle sensitivity for hair loss, and conclusions are based on hypothetical or post-balding observations. Finasteride is mentioned as an easy, consistent treatment option compared to natural treatments.
community Do you see skin shedding with micro needling?
Microneedling can cause skin shedding and inflammation, with some users adjusting needle size or frequency to reduce these effects. Some users combine microneedling with treatments like minoxidil, while others prefer smaller needles or alternative treatments like dutasteride.
community How deep do you microneedle and do you bleed?
The conversation discusses microneedling for hair loss, with the original poster experiencing pinpoint bleeding after using needles of 1.25mm and 0.5mm, possibly due to adding GHK-Cu to their treatment regimen. They are inquiring if others bleed at similar depths.
community Looking for clarification on Section 8 of the Comprehensive Microneedling Guide
The conversation discusses the steps for microneedling, specifically differentiating between medical needling (0.5-1.5mm) and cosmetic needling (0.3mm). It emphasizes the importance of cleaning and disinfecting before microneedling, regardless of needle length.
community New Peer-Reviewed Publication Further Validates RepliCel's Use of Dermal Sheath Cup Cells to Treat Pattern Baldness - Paper entitled "Hair Follicle Dermal Stem Cells Regenerate the Dermal Sheath, Repopulate the Dermal Papilla, and Modulate Hair Type" published journal Developmental Cell
community Questions about Microneedling: Cartridge Depths, Duration, and Reliable Sources
The conversation is about starting microneedling for hair growth, with questions on needle sizes, session frequency, and reliable purchasing options. The user seeks clarity on FDA regulations and prefers to avoid certain online retailers.
community microneedle, any long term users damage?
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
community Published in Nature: Osteopontin, a protein involved in the growth of hair on moles could be the key to our troubles.
Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
community Best Microneedle Lengths To Stimulate Stem Cells
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
community Adipose tissue layer and stem cells.
Adipose fat cells and stem cells may help treat hair loss by restoring the scalp's thickness. Treatments like NanoFat injections and Botox are discussed for their potential to promote hair growth.
community Case study: 2mo update 1.5mm microneedling + Minox, no fin. Added Nizoral.
The user reports some hair regrowth after two months of using 1.5mm microneedling with Minoxidil and Nizoral shampoo. They note reduced pain and skin flaking, attributing changes to skin thickening and collagen induction.
community Hair growth stimulated by allogenic adipose-derived stem cells supplemented with ATP in a mouse model of dihydrotestosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia
Adipose-derived stem cells with ATP improved hair regrowth in male and female mice with androgenetic alopecia. The most effective treatments were low dose stem cells with ATP for males and medium dose stem cells with non-liposomal ATP for females.
community Does microneedling regrow hair on dormant bald regions which have been bald for many years?
Microneedling may help regrow hair in dormant bald regions by stimulating stem cell transfer. Users discuss its effectiveness and how collagen might aid in the process.
community Can microneedling damage existing hair?
Microneedling is unlikely to damage existing hair if done with a device using a smaller needle count, like a 9-needle cartridge, and a stamping motion. Hair follicles are deeper than the typical needle penetration depth.
community What's the general consensus on microneedling here?
The conversation discusses microneedling for hair loss, focusing on optimal needle depth and frequency. Users report varying practices, with some using Minoxidil after microneedling and others suggesting different depths and frequencies based on personal tolerance.
