I’m on this journey too. My Trichologist put me on Regaine for 3 months in a ramp up approach, then one month of 2x daily. Then a deramp phase where I use it every other day, but interspace with an ayuverda based scalp treatment.
she also told me not to massage but gently tap the treatment in. The massage is more damaging than helpful.
she has had a lot of success helping people regrow their hair.

Why did she say that scalp massage is more damaging than helpful?

It depends on the technique. If the massage entails rubbing, whether or not oil is applied it causes friction, which causes damage especially with ccca.
