community Any concrete cases of people who were told they couldn't have a transplant because of microneedling?
Microneedling before a hair transplant may harden the scalp and affect blood circulation, potentially impacting graft growth. Some users report successful transplants after microneedling, while others advise caution and consulting with a surgeon.

community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
