Applying Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) topically may improve skin and potentially promote scalp health and hair growth, especially after microneedling. The user shares their positive experience with EGF and provides a product link.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft
Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.
community Another molecular pathway to promote scarless healing and regenerate hair follicles
Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
community Is tazarotene potentially better than tretinoin in combination with topical minoxidil?
Tazarotene may be more effective than tretinoin when combined with topical minoxidil for hair loss due to its selective binding to RAR-beta and gamma, though it can cause irritation. Tazarotene's potency can lead to indirect inflammatory reactions despite potentially causing less irritation than tretinoin.
