Researching the effects of scalptrauma on hair growth, with some users suggesting experimenting with a soldering iron or derma pen, and others bringing up studies that suggest this may be an effective treatment.
The conversation discusses unconventional methods for hair regrowth, including scalptrauma like burning or microneedling, and compares them to treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride. It highlights skepticism about these methods and the body's unpredictable healing responses.
Microneedling at 1.5 mm should be done every 4 to 6 weeks, not weekly, to prevent scalptrauma and improve hair growth. The user is also using 0.5 mg dutasteride daily, 5 mg minoxidil daily, and started RU58841 two months ago.
Scalp Botox may help hair loss by relaxing muscles and increasing blood flow, potentially benefiting conditions other than androgenetic alopecia. DHT affects hair follicles differently, causing tension and hair loss in some areas but not others.
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
