Does Curcumin in Nutrafol interfere with at home microneedling for hair growth?

Question

I just found out that Curcumin in Nutrafol is an anti-inflammatory supplement. Would this interfere with inflammatory cells and healing process on the scalp?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

When it comes to hair growth and loss, you need a formal evaluation to see what type of hair loss you may have. When you have hair loss, it's best to do a full hormonal workup for internal optimization, evaluate it with a dermatoscope, and consider scalp biopsies or scrapings to rule out any stress related, inflammatory, autoimmune or infectious causes of hair loss. In general, most people with early hair loss have telogen (stress related) and/or androgenetic (normal aging) and both can be treated with in office treatments like steroid injections, PRP/Acell, Exosomes and at home treatments like oral medications like Finasteride or Spironolactone, oral vitamins like Viviscal, topical exfoliating sprays like Restorsea, and weekly growth factors like anteagemd, and at home microneedling.  Taking your supplement with curcumin may play a small role depending on amount you take.  I recommend seeing an expert for an evaluation and treatment options. Best, Dr. Emer
