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 After using finasteride, did you notice an improvement in the hair shaft in terms of looking more “alive” and shiny?
Finasteride users reported improvements in hair appearance, including increased thickness, shine, and darker color. Some users noticed their hair looked healthier and less sunburned after starting the treatment.
community Hair Feels Rough and Frizzy on Oral Minoxidil and Finasteride: Causes?
Oral minoxidil and finasteride can change hair texture, making it drier or frizzier. Minoxidil is likely causing the roughness; adding a moisturizing treatment may help.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
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.
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.
