PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
Stem cell-related treatments and drugs like RCGD423 and WAY are being tested for hair growth. Clinics are conducting tests on patients who haven't had previous treatments.
A user with PCOS experienced hair loss and found success using a triple dose of O.N.E Omega by Pure Encapsulations after discovering low Omega fatty acids. Biotin provided minimal improvement, but the Omega supplement significantly restored hair.
A user discusses a company, Roots by Genetic Arts, that offers a genetic test for hair loss to create personalized treatments, and is curious about its legitimacy and the science behind it. The company tests 16 genes related to hair loss and compounds a topical treatment based on the results.
The user is exploring alternatives to finasteride and dutasteride due to concerns about side effects, and is using rosemary and jojoba oil, ketoconazole, minoxidil, microneedling, multi-peptide serum, saw palmetto, and stinging nettle for hair loss. They are also considering CB 03 01 and spironolactone.
The conversation discusses using a TCA 35% chemical peel on the scalp to potentially improve hair growth by addressing fibrosis and enhancing the effectiveness of topical treatments. The user also mentions trying microneedling and other methods like topical metformin and dutasteride for hair regrowth.
PP405 shows potential for hair growth by increasing terminal hair and converting vellus hairs, but results are modest and more waiting is needed. It complements existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but won't replace them.
User discusses hair loss and treatments, including Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Concealers like dermamatch help improve appearance of hair thickness.
The conversation discusses the sale of a premixed KY19382 solution for research purposes, highlighting previous unsuccessful group buys and the formulation process. Prices and purchasing options for KY19382 solutions and powder are provided.
Chinese researchers have successfully created hair follicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
The conversation discusses the delay in the PP405 Phase 2 study results, now expected by the end of 2025, and skepticism about research practices. There is also mention of optimism for Amplifica's AMP303 and a topical treatment in early testing.
Dr. Tsuji's stem cell hair multiplication procedure may offer a future solution for hair loss, but it is initially expected to be very expensive, with prices potentially decreasing over time. In the meantime, users discuss using treatments like finasteride, despite side effects, to manage hair loss.
Amplifica has not provided updates on SCUBE3 and AMP-303, raising concerns about their trial outcomes. Users also mention other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, PP405, and ET-03.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and production of GT20029, a drug being developed as a topical androgen receptor degrader for hair loss, and whether it can fully degrade androgen receptors or only partially. It also discusses the drug's potential unique working mechanism and synthesis by a company called Anagen.
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.
Finasteride and Nizoral shampoo with Ketoconazole are used for hair loss treatment. Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is recommended over Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for more accurate DHT testing.
The conversation is about a user sharing their positive progress with hair regrowth using oral minoxidil, biotin, finasteride, and other supplements. The user also mentions using a HIMS oral fin/min combo and receives advice and encouragement from others.
The conversation discusses a patent filed by Shiseido for cloning Dermal Papilla (DP) cells to treat hair loss. The method involves using viral vectors to maintain the cells' growth-inducing properties, differing from Replicel's approach with Dermal Sheath Cup (DSC) cells.
The conversation discusses the use of topical peptides ahk-cu and ghk-cu for hair loss. One user reported that while these peptides made their hair look thicker and improved scalp health, they did not notice significant hair growth.
A 24-year-old with early hair loss is managing it with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, and is considering using a hair system for more styling options while maintaining transparency. They emphasize confidence and self-expression over hair, viewing it as an amplifier rather than a foundation.
Adding non-prescription topicals like alfatradiol and Zix to a standard fin/min/niz regimen may help with scalp inflammation and shedding, but their long-term effectiveness varies. Zix is recommended for reducing scalp inflammation and enhancing the effectiveness of other treatments.
User "Jordan_cadagan" shares 11-month progress using minoxidil and finasteride for hair growth, with impressive results. Users discuss application methods, ice baths possibly helping, and daily dosages.
Clascoterone 5% and PP405 are being discussed as potential future treatments for hair loss, with clascoterone nearing phase three completion and PP405 possibly taking a cosmetic route to market. Current treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are mentioned as effective in slowing hair loss, but a complete cure remains elusive.
PP405 is being discussed as a potential new approach to hair loss by targeting follicle stem cells, suggesting a different mechanism from existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, there is skepticism about whether it will lead to meaningful long-term outcomes or follow the pattern of previous treatments that showed promise but lacked consistent results.
The user started using Finasteride and Minoxidil for hair loss and is questioning the effectiveness of additional products like caffeine shampoos. Another user suggests using RU58841 for added benefits.
