5 / 342 resultscommunity Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Is microneedling + minoxidil better than oral minoxidil
Oral minoxidil is considered more effective for hair regrowth than topical minoxidil, but it carries higher risks. Combining microneedling with topical minoxidil can enhance absorption, but oral minoxidil with microneedling shows significant results.
community How I recovered from 4+ years of severe balding ages 20-24 by dieting, lifestyle changes and ONLY using topical minoxidil

community Unable to regrow hair, even though I am on a strong stack
The user is using a combination of 7% minoxidil, 0.2% finasteride, 0.5mg finasteride, RU58841, and daily microneedling but is not seeing hair regrowth after 5 months. Suggestions include being patient, reducing microneedling frequency, considering oral minoxidil, and possibly switching to dutasteride if no improvement after a year.
community HRT is literal black magic. Fin 1 mg/day @ 4 years, min 2x/day @ 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day @ 3.5 months, and Spironolactone 100mg/day @ 3.5 months (estra & spiro are medicines you should likely not take if you are a cis man)
User shared progress on hair regrowth using Fin 1 mg/day for 4 years, Min 2x/day for 3 years, Estradiol 4mg/day, and Spironolactone 100mg/day for 3.5 months. They noted significant hairline recovery and advised against HRT for cis men due to feminizing effects.
