Stemson Therapeutics announced a breakthrough in hair growth technology using stem cells. Users discussed the potential high cost and skepticism about the treatment's accessibility.
Pyrilutamide is being discussed as an alternative for those who can't use finasteride, but users report it may be ineffective at low concentrations. Some users are combining it with minoxidil, microneedling, and other treatments, but results vary.
Kintor Pharma has started a Phase II trial in China for GT20029, a potential new treatment for hair loss. Participants are discussing the significance, potential release dates, and comparing it to other treatments and technologies like stem cell hair transplants and SAMIRNA.
The conversation discusses using Botox to treat male pattern baldness, suggesting it may promote hair growth by increasing scalp blood flow and oxygen, reducing dihydrotestosterone levels. The user wonders why this treatment is not widely discussed or if it has been discredited.
The conversation humorously discusses hair loss treatments, mentioning spironolactone and cyproterone acetate. It reflects a sense of frustration and satire about the effectiveness of these treatments.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hair follicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
Alfatradiol is considered safe but less effective than finasteride for hair loss. One user reported subtle regrowth using alfatradiol with finasteride and minoxidil, while another found alfatradiol ineffective.
Despite using 5% minoxidil, 0.1% finasteride, and other treatments like microneedling, MK-677, and Cialis, hair loss continues with high testosterone and DHT levels. Considering oral dutasteride but concerned about further increasing testosterone levels.
The user is considering switching from finasteride to RU-58841 for hair loss due to side effects and is concerned about its safety around cats. They are also seeking dosage suggestions and alternatives like pyrilutamide.
Eirion Therapeutics is recruiting for phase 1 of ET-02 in Texas, which showed promising hair growth results in non-clinical studies. ET-02 demonstrated significantly more hair growth compared to Minoxidil.
Creatine is believed by some users to cause hair shedding, though a study found no increase in DHT or testosterone levels. Many users shared personal experiences of hair loss after using creatine, while others noted no change, suggesting individual variability.
The conversation discusses the delay in bringing FAK inhibitors and Stanford's hydrogel to market for hair transplants, with a preference for FAK inhibitors over Verteporfin due to their superior potential in preventing scarring. The user expresses frustration over the slow progress and hopes for faster development by companies like FAKnostics.
Glycosaminoglycans are important for hair growth, and combining minoxidil with tretinoin and Biopeptide-CL may enhance hair growth by boosting glycosaminoglycan levels and improving the hair follicle environment. Users discussed the potential effectiveness and future of these treatments.
The conversation discusses using finasteride pills to create a topical solution for hair regrowth, with mixed results. Users suggest that buying ready-made topical finasteride or switching to oral treatments might be more effective and convenient.
A user is making a 2-Deoxy-D-ribose solution and asks if it can be put into an oil instead of a gel, considering adding hydrocortisone and retinoic acid. They seek advice on the best carrier oil for hair growth.
Dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in hair follicles, potentially more effectively than previously thought. The discussion highlights differences in DHT measurements and the impact on hair loss treatment.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment undergoing trials, with discussions on its effectiveness and comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is skepticism about its status as a cure, with hopes for future advancements in genetic treatments like CRISPR.
Creatine at 2.5 g/day did not affect DHT levels in the user, suggesting it may not cause hair loss through DHT. The user used minoxidil during the experiment but did not use finasteride or other DHT-reducing medications.
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.
The user uses Toppik hair fibers to thicken their hairline and has switched from finasteride to dutasteride and oral minoxidil, noticing more hair thickening. Most responses indicate the hair fibers are not noticeable, and many suggest the user doesn't need them as their hair looks natural and good for their age.
A user started taking finasteride for hair loss despite initial fears. Others shared their positive experiences with finasteride and dutasteride, encouraging the user.

Topical finasteride absorption starts almost instantly, but the exact time needed for full absorption is unclear. Users suggest it may not need to stay on all day.
Creatine might increase hair loss due to increased DHT sensitivity, but evidence is mostly anecdotal. The user is using oral minoxidil for hair loss and is cautious about starting creatine.
