The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronicacid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
Microneedling aftercare involves using saline water instead of sea water, and avoiding hyaluronicacid due to its potential pro-inflammatory effects. Users suggest using jojoba oil as a carrier for essential oils like rosemary and lavender, and combining microneedling with minoxidil for better hair regrowth results.
A 28-year-old male reported significant hair regrowth after 5 weeks using a regime including Minoxidil, Ketozolin shampoo, microneedling, hyaluronicacid, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, MSM, frankincense, zinc, multivitamins, and vitamin D. He also noted improvements in digestion, dry eyes, and skin health, and observed beard growth from microneedling.
A user is creating a custom topical hair regrowth serum using minoxidil, bimatoprost, tretinoin, castor oil, and hyaluronicacid. They are also using dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and castor oil in their current regimen.
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
