First of all apologies if this information is elsewhere on the forum. I did a search and it only brought up archived threads so I assume this has not been discussed for some time at least.
I have read in a few places that glycolic acid 20% peel can help with growth by clearing up the 'debris' and allowing the follicles to grow. Note the 'grow' as opposed to 'regrow'. I am fairly convinced it cannot help with regrowth or growing new hair but I am more interested in the growth potential (i.e. reverse miniaturisation) of this or any other therapy. Please share if you have any knowledge/experience:
1) Can it ever adversely affect hair?
2) Would it help strengthening follicles that are on stages of miniaturisation but not dead/lost completely (i.e. pigmented but thin/diffuse hair)?
3) What is the best concentration that is also safe?
4) Any other therapies effective for thickening (reverse miniaturisation)?
The reason I am so particularly interested is because I am about 3V but very diffuse so there is hope if I can make my hair denser thicker. I am on big 3 since 8 months which have produced decent results to bring me up from NW6 to NW3V (but very diffuse).
I am hoping some members have tried it or atleast considered tried it and will offer some advise. Thanks.
