Topical Retinoids explored before?

[Chrisolution]

Has anyone explored or performed any studies on Topical Retinoids for re-growing hair?

Reason I ask is I was using Retinoids for acne & I had to stop because I was getting little visible red veins. I asked my Derm why this happened he said, "Retinoids increase cell proliferation & cell turnover by generating new blood vessels. Pushing the skin cells into growth stage."

I mean wouldn't increased blood flood & manipulation of cells for growth help hair loss. My Derm said, "It does it is just not cost efficient & that is why when we prescribe Retinoids to women we warn that they can grow facial hair."

Just curious if anyone has insight on this or experimented with this.

I use Retin-A 0.025% on my temples because I heard it increases minoxidil absorption due to the cell turnover. But I believe it works on the outer layer only (that's why its generally prescribed as 0.025% for anti-ageining and 0.50% for acne).

Any results? I've been thinking of adding retin a for my temples but still hesitant.
