Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skinrepair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
Microneedling may still be beneficial for those on oral minoxidil due to its effects on tissuerepair and blood flow, not just absorption. Some users report mixed results, and the effectiveness of combining microneedling with oral treatments remains debated.
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.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
