      in Treatment  8 upvotes 11 months ago
      Clascoterone in Winlevi, a topical AR antagonist, is being re-examined due to concerns about HPA axis suppression in adolescents, but it's unlikely to be banned for adult use in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The European Medicines Agency recommended refusing Winlevi for acne vulgaris, but this may not affect Breezula's approval for AGA.

      community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
