Fractional lasers and microneedling, combined with topical agents, could potentially treat Alopecia Areata effectively, but more research is needed due to limited data.
A 30-year-old is considering starting hairregrowthtreatments and is seeking advice on medications like minoxidil and finasteride, as well as other therapies. Users suggest starting with the "big 4" treatments and share that many have seen success even when starting later in life.
The user is considering a hairregrowth routine using minoxidil, a laser cap, and possibly topical finasteride, while avoiding oral finasteride due to past surgery concerns. They plan to use these treatments for 6-8 months before consulting a hair transplant doctor.
The conversation covers aggressive hairregrowthtreatments like Dutasteride, Minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and ketoconazole shampoo. It also mentions PRP, laser therapy, GHK-Cu injections, and hormone therapy for maximum regrowth.
The user experienced significant hairregrowth with topical finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and dermarolling, but later faced severe hair shedding after stopping dermarolling and reducing ketoconazole use. Suggestions included switching to oral treatments, resuming dermarolling, and considering lifestyle changes.
A 47-year-old experienced significant hairregrowth using a combination of finasteride and minoxidil, despite initial setbacks with scalp inflammation from minoxidil. The treatment improved hair thickness and color, though some sexual side effects were noted.
