Would Verteporfin be the true ‘cure’ as it could reverse a NW7 to a NW1? Chat 6/6/2024
Verteporfin might reverse severe hair loss but is still in early testing stages. It could be a future option for NW6-7, though expensive.

The post and conversation discuss Verteporfin's potential as a hair loss treatment. It's shown promise in regrowing hair after transplants and might be effective with microneedling.
community Topical Minoxidil 5% since March but does seem to be improving much.
Minoxidil 5% alone is not enough for significant hair regrowth; combining it with finasteride or dutasteride is advised. A hair transplant might be needed, depending on baldness extent and donor area quality.
community People like this don't have to be bald.
Body hair transplants can be a last resort for hair loss, using body hair to fill scalp gaps, though it may not match scalp hair in texture or length. Minoxidil and finasteride are discussed as treatments, with varying effectiveness and side effects.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
community Hair loss research focused on chemistry for decades because we misunderstood the mechanics of growth.
Hair growth relies on mechanical forces, not just chemicals, with tissue acting like a motor. Minoxidil and finasteride help, but maintaining tissue elasticity and addressing mechanical issues are essential.
