community microneedle, any long term users damage?
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
community Update: 5 Months Min/Fin and microneedle
The user reports regrowth after 5 months using Minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling with a derma stamp, Nizoral shampoo, multivitamins, and biotin, and has shared progress pictures. They apply treatments daily, microneedle twice a week, and exercise regularly, noting an improvement in their mental well-being.
community My experience with Fleava, minoxidil and micro needling
A user shared their positive experience using Fleava (copper peptides), minoxidil, and micro needling for hair regrowth, noting significant improvement in their hairline. Other users believe the success is primarily due to micro needling and minoxidil.
community Natural sweetener Stevia found to turbocharge male pattern baldness treatment: Mice given Stevia patch had 18 times better absorption of minoxidil and hair coverage of 67.5% in bald areas after just 35 days.
Stevia microneedles increased minoxidil absorption and hair growth in mice. The conversation humorously questions the applicability of these results to humans.
