The user has been using a combination of finasteride/dutasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, and hydrocortisone with microneedling and ketoconazole shampoo for hair loss. They are asking if the baby hairs growing will turn into terminal hairs with continued treatment.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, using minoxidil, pyrilutamide, alfatrodial, and nizoral to improve hair density and thickness. They reported positive results without side effects and emphasized the importance of consistency with topical treatments.
The user is using oral Minoxidil, oral Dutasteride, microneedling, and RU58841 for hair loss, noticing slow progress with small hairs appearing. They are inconsistent with microneedling frequency, sometimes doing it weekly or skipping weeks.
PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.
The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
Cold shock therapy may promote hair growth by stimulating follicular muscles and affecting stem cells. The exact mechanisms and full range of elements involved are not yet fully understood.
JXL082 is not the same as PP405, leading to a halt in sales and a plan to synthesize the real PP405. There is skepticism about the safety and effectiveness of JXL082 and PP405, with concerns about patent issues and the long-term impact on hair growth.
AI advancements, like AlphaFold, are speeding up drug discovery for hair loss, promising more effective treatments. Current options like minoxidil and finasteride have limitations, but new developments could improve solutions in 5-10 years.
A 38-year-old male shared 5 months of hair loss treatment progress using oral finasteride, topical finasteride, topical minoxidil, microneedling, and supplements like biotin, zinc, saw palmetto, and pygeum. He is uncertain about the progress.
Results for Amplifica's AMP-303 hair loss treatment study are expected late summer 2024. The study, fully enrolled in Q1 2024, focuses on safety and tolerability.
A person experienced hair loss due to stress, hormonal changes, and possibly genetics, and tried treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride. They are now considering exosome therapy but are unsure about its effectiveness and which dermatologist to trust.
Capilia Longa and Scandinavian Biolabs are discussed, with skepticism about their effectiveness and value. The conversation suggests avoiding these products due to high cost and perceived lack of results.
The user has experienced limited hair regrowth using 1mg oral finasteride, topical minoxidil foam, and occasional dermarolling since August 2023. They are considering switching to dutasteride, adding oral minoxidil 2.5 mg, and RU58841 to improve results.
Azelaic acid is considered a strong DHT inhibitor with no reported sexual side effects, making it a potential alternative for those who cannot use finasteride. It can be used with minoxidil, but may cause skin irritation.
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
Hair loss treatments Finasteride, Dutasteride, Pyrilutamide, and RU58841 have different mechanisms of action. They can be used individually or stacked for better protection against hair loss.
Pyrilutamide did not show effectiveness in regrowing hair compared to a placebo, but it may still help maintain existing hair by preventing DHT from causing follicle miniaturization. Some users believe it could be beneficial when used with other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
Hair regrowth treatments, including stem cell injections, are discussed, with skepticism about their effectiveness compared to Minoxidil and finasteride. Derma stamping is mentioned as effective when used with Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, mentioning minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, VDPHL, GT20029, and follicle cloning as potential solutions. It also reveals that the discussion about PP405 was an April Fool's joke.
A peptide-based hair loss treatment, PP405, reportedly increased hair density by 62% in 90 days, but these claims are unverified and met with skepticism. Users compared PP405 to Minoxidil and Finasteride, expressing doubts about its effectiveness without more evidence.
Hair loss is linked to scalp fibrosis and tension, which result from chronic mechanical stress and androgenic signaling. Treatments include blocking androgens with finasteride, promoting hair growth with topical minoxidil, and improving scalp mobility through exercises.
Finasteride and Dutasteride block DHT, which is needed for vellus hair to become terminal on the beard but not on the scalp. The user considered using DHT cream but learned it's unnecessary for scalp hair.
The user experienced hair regrowth using dutasteride daily, microneedling weekly, and Nizoral shampoo, after stopping minoxidil due to side effects. They also use a mix of pumpkin seed, rosemary, and peppermint oil, and are considering RU58841 for more temple area thickness.
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hair follicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
