CBD may increasehaircounts slightly, but results are minimal without additional treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. Some users suggest combining CBD with other methods for better results.
Finasteride, Minoxidil, Bioneer CosmeRNA, Technoderma, Kintor, Hope, Breezula, and Follicum treatments showed increases in haircount, with Technoderma showing the highest increase at 24.3 hairs/cm². Amplifica has not yet published results.
Minoxidil can initially cause hair shedding but often leads to increased haircount over time, with some users experiencing noticeable improvements within weeks. Combining Minoxidil with Finasteride may enhance hair health, though individual results vary.
Finasteride and dutasteride can show initial haircountincreases within 12 weeks, but visible improvements often take longer, with many users reporting noticeable changes after a year or more. While early results may be seen under a microscope, significant cosmetic improvements typically require more time for hair to thicken and become visibly denser.
Microneedling with 0.6 mm needles combined with 5% minoxidil is more effective for haircount and thickness than minoxidil alone or with 1.2 mm needles. Biweekly microneedling at 0.6 mm depth is recommended for better results in treating androgenetic alopecia.
