The user underwent a biopsy two years ago and was diagnosed with keratosis pilaris, leading to hair issues. They tried treatments including Minoxidil, betamethasone, lymecycline, topical Accutane, and dutasteride, as well as diet changes, without improvement in hair thickness or skin dryness.
Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
HMI-115 is a new drug developed by Bioinvent and licensed by Bayer, with mixed opinions on its potential effectiveness. Some users are skeptical and prefer proven treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
A drug that regrows body parts, but not hair, sparking debate on hair loss treatments. Discussions include the use of finasteride, dutasteride, and the potential for new methods to restore hair.
Exploring the idea of using facial hair properties for scalp regeneration in male pattern baldness, considering the potential of transferring androgen-resistant characteristics from facial hair to the scalp. Challenges include complexity, scalability, aesthetics, and safety, but the concept encourages innovative thinking beyond current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants.
HMI 115 is being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, with skepticism due to past disappointments like cosmeRNA, brezula, and pyrilutamide. The user is questioning if they should be hopeful for new developments in the next six years.
The Shiseido/Replicel RCH-01 trial results were disappointing and ineffective. Users expressed skepticism and frustration, suggesting alternatives like Tsuji or simply accepting baldness.
A user shared their experience with a hair restoration method involving adding individual human hairs on ultra-fine strands between existing hair, allowing for natural movement and appearance without blocking the scalp. They also continue using rosemary oil and gentle massage for basic growth support.
Stem-cell hair transplants could potentially create thousands of grafts from a single donor graft, offering a solution for hair loss with DHT-resistant hair. Companies like Stemson Therapeutics and OrganTech are working on this technology, which may become available in the future, possibly reducing the cost and making it widely accessible.
A peptide from Japanese water chestnut fruit may help with hair loss by suppressing DHT's effect on hair follicle cell death, potentially serving as a finasteride alternative. The treatment's effectiveness and safety in humans remain uncertain.
The conversation discusses using GFM Gel, a topical gel with polypeptides that mimic growth factors to promote hair regrowth and strengthen hair. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss.
Hair cloning and injection of dermal papilla cells are discussed, with skepticism about their availability by 2023. Users mention Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants as current treatments.
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
User discusses scalp micropigmentation for denser hair appearance and its benefits compared to lifelong treatments. Special ink is used, which can fade and blur over time but can be topped up.
The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.
Hair cloning is being developed by companies like Kangstem Biotech and Stemson, with potential availability in a few years. Initial costs are expected to be high, but prices may decrease over time.
A user shared their positive experience with scalp micropigmentation (SMP) to cover hair thinning and a scar, choosing it over hair transplants due to its non-invasive nature and realistic results. They recommend SMP for those struggling with hair loss, emphasizing the importance of finding a trusted artist.
Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation is about improving scalp appearance by regaining adipose tissue and making the skin look better using scalp massages and a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and urea. The user is not trying to regrow hair but wants to improve the scalp's thickness and appearance.
A new hair loss treatment involving Keratin Microsphere Gel is discussed, with skepticism and jokes about its effectiveness and comparisons to other treatments. Users are doubtful and make light of the situation, referencing past disappointments and the study's focus on mice.
A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
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.
The potential availability of a new hair loss treatment called HMI-115, which has shown promising results in experiments on monkeys but is not yet available to the public. Replies cautioned against using unproven substances from shady labs.
