A user's hair loss treatment regimen, which includes minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo and microneedling; some participants questioned the results due to previous posts about hair transplants, but others agreed that quick results are possible with certain treatments.
community Added micro needling to my routine (currently using topical fin and topical Min)
The user has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil for two years with decent regrowth and recently added microneedling to their routine. They are questioning if the small hairs observed are new regrowth from microneedling or just vellus or miniaturized hairs.
community Microneedling daily at .3mm combined with topical fin/min has been most effective
Microneedling daily at 0.3mm combined with topical finasteride and minoxidil is effective for hair thickening, with added benefits from near-infrared therapy. The approach may not improve the front hairline, and deeper microneedling is done monthly for better results.
community Got a microscope camera. Here’s the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair
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.
community Microneedling and miniaturized hair follicles depth
Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.
