Abstract in brief

  • Microneedling has shown positive effects in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA), but the best protocol is still debated.
  • A study involving 60 patients compared three groups: one receiving only minoxidil, one with minoxidil plus 1.2 mm microneedling, and another with minoxidil plus 0.6 mm microneedling over 12 weeks.
  • Results indicated that both microneedling groups saw significant increases in hair count and thickness compared to the control, with the 0.6 mm depth proving more effective than the 1.2 mm depth in promoting hair growth.

ミノキシジルは深さ 0.6 mm のマイクロニードルと組み合わせた方が毛髪数と毛髪の太さ全ての点で、ミノキシジル単剤療法、もしくは深さ1.2 mmのマイクロニードルよりも効果的と。 毛根の深さは約2mm〜だから表皮と真皮の境目レベルのニードルが一番いいって事? https://t.co/TKHHdDknMi
