A user is developing a tool to track hair density, aiming to help those using treatments like minoxidil. They seek feedback on the tool's usefulness and are considering a low-cost model to cover expenses.

User shows wet hair and blow drying to prove no hair fibers used. Hair gains achieved with finasteride and minoxidil.

David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.

A user is exploring VEGF gene therapy to enhance hair transplant results, considering measuring hair shaft diameter and growth rate. Suggestions include using phototrichograms and possibly adding PRP, though its effectiveness is uncertain.

New potential hair loss treatment uses molecules from hairy moles to stimulate follicle growth. Topical solution requires less frequent application, like Botox injections a few times per year.

RU58841 from rudirect caused more hair shedding and itch, while anageninc's RU58841 improved the situation. Users are concerned about the quality and authenticity of RU58841 from different suppliers, including those from China.

L'Oreal is working on hair cloning, with multiple companies using similar techniques, making hair cloning likely by 2030. The conversation expresses optimism about the progress and potential affordability of hair cloning solutions.

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on Tsuji's hair cloning and Shiseido's RCH-01, with skepticism about their effectiveness on humans. It compares these to PRP, noting PRP's higher efficacy in studies.

Hair loss may be linked to the TRPS1 gene and protein, not just DHT. Amplifica's AMP-303 targets mesenchymal stem cells and shows promise in treating hair loss, unlike Pelage's PP405.

A 16-year-old is experiencing hair loss and is using minoxidil, finasteride, and plans to add RU58841, while considering other treatments like MK-677 and microneedling. Concerns are raised about the potential impact of these treatments on puberty and development.

User tries dermapen for hair loss and plans to use non-mainstream topicals like c60, ghk-cu, and ptd-dbm with valproic acid. They also use a head massager and modified LLLT belt for additional treatment.

A deoxyribose sugar gel may work as well as minoxidil for hair regrowth by boosting blood supply to hair follicles. Some users discuss combining it with minoxidil and cetrizine, but caution is advised due to potential risks and lack of consistent results.

The conversation is about the legitimacy and affordability of ordering a Minoxidil response test from TrichoGene, an India-based company, as an alternative to Daniel Alain. The user is seeking feedback on whether TrichoGene is a reliable option.

A group buy for testing a compound targeting Twist1 protein as a potential hair loss treatment. Inhibiting Twist1, which keeps hair follicles in growth phase, may prevent hair loss with minimal side effects.

A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.

The user shared their bloodwork results showing DHT at 17 ng/dl and testosterone at 287 ng/dl, with a slight Vitamin D deficiency. They are seeking opinions on these levels and have an upcoming dermatologist appointment.

A user recently started using nanoxidil 5% for hair loss, particularly on the hairline, and is seeking feedback or experiences from others. The conversation focuses on the effectiveness of nanoxidil.

The conversation is about using distilled water as a solvent for topical finasteride to reduce systemic absorption. The user is considering avoiding ethanol and propylene glycol to achieve this.

RU58841 solution developed crystals after refrigeration. Letting it reach room temperature and shaking can dissolve the crystals.

The conversation is about the stability of pyrilutamide in different solutions. The user is asking if a 70/30 ethanol/pg solution with 4% water will degrade pyrilutamide.

RU58841, a potential hair loss treatment, was not commercialized due to marketability issues and lack of long-term safety data. Concerns about its formulation and delivery methods further complicate its use.

The conversation is about trying PTD-DBM for hair loss treatment. Users are curious about its effectiveness and results.

Spraying pyrilutamide on the crown area shows noticeable improvement compared to using a dropper. Applying directly to the vertex is challenging without wasting the product.

The user has tried various treatments like Dutasteride, RU58841, Minoxidil, Finasteride, Spironolactone, Pyrilutamide, and Ketoconazole for hair loss without success and is considering a scalp biopsy to diagnose another condition. Others suggest consulting a dermatologist and possibly getting a biopsy, as the issue might not be typical male pattern baldness.

Oral PTD-DBM was discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but it was deemed ineffective in humans despite promising results in mice. The conversation concluded that trying it without VPA might be unwise.

PP405 shows promise for hair regrowth by manipulating stem cell characteristics and lactate dehydrogenase, with Phase 2a trials pending. Google Ventures' $15M investment suggests confidence, but results and market availability remain uncertain.

Probiotics like L. reuteri ATCC PTA 6475 and B. longum BB536 may improve hair growth and density by reducing inflammation and reversing DHT damage. The user is trialing these probiotics personally, ordering them from the U.S. to Canada, and plans to continue if no adverse effects occur.

Hair cloning claims by Dr. Gho are widely considered a scam, with skepticism about the effectiveness of his hair stem cell transplantation. Users suggest that if it were effective, wealthy individuals would opt for it over traditional methods like FUE transplants.

Lab-grown hair using iPSCs is being explored, but practical applications are limited. Finasteride is suggested as the only current effective treatment.

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.
