Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, especially at the crown and midscalp, but both have similar side-effect profiles with low incidence of sexual adverse events. Improvement is measured visually, and significant results may take over 12 months to appear.
Current hair loss treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, and derma rolling. New treatments like TDM-105795, GT20029, and others show promise but require more testing and time before approval.
A Phase 1 update for the HMI 115 clinical trial, which involves 16 participants and is expected to end in July 2023; as well as changes to the recruitment process, including treatment protocols with Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation is about analyzing receded temple closeups for signs of fibrosis, scarring, or androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 are not mentioned in the conversation.
An 18-year-old has been using 5% topical minoxidil for 2 months for hair loss, with a history of vitamin D deficiency and thyroid imbalance. Users suggest starting finasteride and blocking DHT for androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
The conclusion of the conversation is that some individuals may experience a condition called reactionary hypergonadism when taking dutasteride for hair loss. This condition can lead to an increase in testosterone levels, which may worsen hair loss instead of improving it.
The conversation discusses Fevipiprant, an asthma drug that may block CRTH2 and potentially stop male pattern baldness (MPB) without inhibiting DHT. It also mentions the use of finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss.
The user is experiencing asymmetrical hair loss at the frontal hairline and is concerned about potential conditions like frontal fibrosing alopecia. They have started using finasteride and pumpkin seed oil to address the issue.
Excess Vitamin A and topical retinoids can cause diffuse hair shedding. The user suspects their chronic telogen effluvium may be linked to using adapalene, a topical retinoid.
The conversation is about a female experiencing hair loss and seeking advice on why it's difficult to regrow hair. Specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 are not mentioned.
A participant using Veradermics VDPHL01, an extended-release oral minoxidil, experienced significant hair regrowth from Norwood 6 to Norwood 3V without side effects. They plan to use dutasteride after the treatment to maintain results.
Vitamin D deficiency is linked to hair loss, and supplementation with vitamin D can improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Users discussed various dosages of vitamin D, emphasizing the importance of getting blood tests to determine the appropriate amount.
A user is upset about hair loss due to seborrheic dermatitis and DUPA, which prevents a hair transplant. They mention using jojoba oil and discuss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
A 42-year-old had 2,100 grafts transplanted to the frontal third of the scalp, using treatments like Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, dermarolling, and PRP. They plan to add RU58841 and have scheduled SMP to improve cosmetic results.
A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
A 25-year-old male is experiencing advanced hair loss and is using topical and oral minoxidil, topical finasteride, and vitamin D3, but has not seen significant regrowth. He is considering switching treatments, including oral dutasteride, topical spironolactone, and possibly a scalp biopsy to better understand his condition.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on a new slow-release oral minoxidil compared to topical minoxidil and finasteride. The results show that twice-daily dosing of the new treatment is slightly more effective than once-daily, but concerns about cost, side effects, and the accuracy of reported results remain.
RU58841, an anti-androgenic compound, showed early promise for treating alopecia but faced challenges after its patent in 1997. Despite advancing to Phase II trials, safety concerns and financial struggles led Aventis to abandon its development. Proskelia, which later merged into ProStrakan, couldn't prioritize the drug, leading to its eventual stagnation and failure to reach the market.
A 22-year-old male experiencing hair thinning is considering starting finasteride but is concerned about potential side effects and hereditary factors. While waiting to access finasteride, he plans to use pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, biotin, and vitamins, and is advised to check blood levels before starting treatment.
The user is considering adding Alfatradiol or Pyralutamide to their current hair loss treatment of oral Dutasteride and Minoxidil. They are seeking advice on experiences and purchasing options for these products in the US.
Male pattern baldness and diffuse thinning can both be forms of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and it's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and biotin are discussed, but their effectiveness varies, and side effects are a concern.
OP experienced diffuse thinning for 11 years and used Minoxidil and Finasteride previously. They now use Pyrilutamide 0.5% and Alfatradiol 0.1%, resulting in significantly reduced hair loss.
PP405 is a promising experimental topical treatment for alopecia that reactivates dormant hair follicles by targeting cellular energy, with large-scale trials planned for 2026. While it shows potential, it cannot regenerate permanently destroyed follicles, making hair transplants the only guaranteed solution for advanced baldness currently.
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.
The conversation discusses using a multimodal approach to treat androgenic alopecia, including substances like gamma-linolenic acid, DHA, sulforaphane, melatonin, cetirizine, astaxanthin, fisetin, apigenin, curcumin, limonene, genistein, and berberine. Users also mention using ketoconazole, minoxidil, and low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as part of their hair loss treatment regimens.
