The conversation is about someone showing hair regrowth using liquid Minoxidil and vitamins, with others suggesting the addition of finasteride to maintain the improvement.
Replicel's results were delayed, but Shiseido might share data at BioJapan on October 11. Users are hopeful for new treatments like RCH-01, potentially eliminating the need for finasteride or minoxidil.
Combining Minoxidil with peptide serums like Redensyl, Procapil, and Capixyl is more effective for hair growth than using Minoxidil alone, increasing hair density and thickness. However, some users are skeptical about the effectiveness of peptides, suggesting other ingredients or factors might contribute to the results.
A topical serum made from monounsaturated fatty acids showed rapid hair growth in mice within 20 days, but it remains experimental for humans. Users humorously discussed the frequent success of hair growth treatments in mice and expressed skepticism about translating these results to humans.
Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.
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.
The user is using a topical solution containing 1% finasteride and 5% minoxidil for hair loss, with water, glycerin, and PEG-40 hydrogenated castor oil as carrier agents. They are questioning if these ingredients are effective carriers after using the solution for three months.
The conversation is about the release of a new phase 3 clinical trial for a year and questioning if the results of the 6-month clinical trials will be shown this quarter. The specific treatment discussed is Pyrilutamide.
Pyrilutamide's long-term stability is uncertain, with potential degradation after 8-9 months if not stored properly. It's recommended to use fresh batches and store them in a cool, dark place.
A user's scalp issue that may be causing their hair loss and potential treatments, such as salicylic acid, finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole shampoo, and visiting a dermatologist.
The conversation is about trying Keratin Microsphere products for hair loss, specifically SAF 100 Pro, but no noticeable results were observed. The user also mentioned using a Hairclub wand.
The conversation discusses using finasteride for hair loss, with iron supplements helping to slow shedding. The user emphasizes that shedding doesn't necessarily mean permanent hair loss.
Iron supplements can help improve hair thinning and brittle skin, but recovery time varies based on individual factors like ferritin levels and absorption rates. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor ferritin and iron levels.
A user ordered Alpha Plus from Anagenica, expecting it to contain specific percentages of Fin, Estradiol, Minoxidil, and CB0301. However, the received product's label showed different percentages, including a surprising 25% CB, leading the user to question its safety and accuracy.
The user is seeking help with using Ell-Cranell for hair loss treatment. They are unsure about the correct application method and dosage. They also inquire about combining microneedling with topical alfatradiol and question a study that referred to alfatradiol as a hair growth inhibitor in male mice.
The conversation discusses the potential of using topical estrogen treatments for hair loss without systemic absorption, highlighting challenges and possible solutions like using estriol. It also mentions other treatments like topical finasteride, microneedling, and scalp massage, while noting the limitations and side effects of current options.
A user is seeking advice on ordering ethanol in the UK to use with topical finasteride, considering switching from isopropyl alcohol. They mention the possibility of purchasing 99.8% ethanol from eBay's 6 Science shop.
Finasteride, minoxidil, and derma rolling are currently the best treatments for hair loss. New treatments like TDM-105795, GT20029, PP405, HMI 115, Tsuji, Scube 3, RU, JW0061, Topilutamide, and verteporfin show promise but have uncertain timelines.
Topical finasteride concentrations and application amounts are debated, with concerns that mainstream solutions may use arbitrary concentrations. A 0.25% solution with a specific application method is suggested as more appropriate than higher concentrations.
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hair follicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.

Minoxidil sulfate is considered for those unresponsive to regular minoxidil, with some trying a 10% formulation from Folligenz. Concerns exist about the product's stability and transparency, but some users report positive initial results.
The user is experiencing severe hair shedding after using RU58841, stemoxydine, and minoxidil, and has stopped using finasteride due to side effects. They hope the shedding is temporary and will lead to regrowth.
Microneedling with exosomes is being considered for hair regrowth, but concerns exist about their effectiveness and safety, especially since exosomes degrade quickly and lack FDA approval. The user is seeking alternatives for non-responders to minoxidil and dutasteride, as exosomes may not provide additional benefits.
