Amplifica starting clinical trials for new hair loss drug. SCUBE3 protein discovered, stimulates hair growth, could be alternative to Minoxidil and Finasteride.
This post and conversation are about the effects of Minoxidil on renal electrolytes transport in the Loop of Henle. The replies show a lack of interest and a brief summary stating that rectal Minoxidil electrolytes are bad.
Topical estradiol may help with hair loss but can have systemic effects, like reduced testosterone production. Using estrogen blockers can have negative side effects, such as joint pain and reduced sex drive.
RepliCel has purchased Trichoscience, and they have a video about hair multiplication. The conversation also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Exploring the potential of using verteporfin during hair transplants to minimize scarring and regenerate follicles, as well as discussing a possible standardized protocol for this treatment.
Finasteride is effective for DHT/AR-driven hair loss but not for chromosome 20-driven cases, where treatments like minoxidil, prostaglandin analogs, and low-level laser therapy may be more beneficial. Genetic testing can help determine the underlying cause of hair loss to tailor treatment effectively.
PP405 is a promising new treatment for hair loss that activates dormant stem cells in hair follicles, potentially bypassing the effects of DHT. It is currently in phase 2 trials and could be available between 2027 and 2030, but it is not considered a definitive cure.
Fluridil degrades androgen receptors, which are prevalent in the scalp and other tissues. People with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) may have higher expression of these receptors and 5AR activity in affected scalp areas.
The conversation discusses using RU58841, topical finasteride/minoxidil, MK677, and microneedling as treatments for hair loss. MK677 is mentioned as a growth hormone that improves hair health and recovery from microneedling.
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of various supplements for hair loss, with some users suggesting higher doses of Zinc and Vitamin C, while others recommend additional supplements like Saw Palmetto and Omega-3. It is concluded that multi-vitamins are often ineffective unless there is a deficiency, and excessive intake can harm hair follicles.
The user is frustrated with dermatologists who dismiss Minoxidil and finasteride as unsafe, instead recommending mustard oil, PRP, zinc supplements, and hair products. The user feels these suggestions are ineffective and is considering starting Minoxidil and finasteride despite the dermatologists' advice.
Scalp tension may contribute to hair loss by increasing DHT levels, with potential solutions like scalp massages and Botox. Concerns about finasteride's side effects were discussed, and some users shared personal experiences with alternative treatments like scalp massaging and Botox.
Copper peptides, specifically GHK-Cu, are discussed as a potential addition to hair loss treatments, possibly working synergistically with Minoxidil to convert vellus hair into terminal hair. The effectiveness and credibility of copper peptides are questioned due to the lack of widespread discussion and potential conflict of interest from the product's creator.
Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 promote hair growth by different mechanisms, with minoxidil and prostaglandin E1 being specifically mentioned. Corticosteroids can also cause hair growth.
Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.
The conversation discusses potential advancements in two hair loss drugs, KX-826 and GT20029, and the interest in whether transitioning from oral finasteride to these drugs would maintain hair growth. One reply expresses skepticism about the compounds' representation.
Exploring future hair loss treatments, including immunosuppressants for hair transplants and hair cloning, with a focus on leveraging research from other medical fields. Current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are effective for most, but there's a call for more funding and innovation in the hair loss industry.
Minokem-N's composition is unclear, with concerns about unlisted hydrocortisone. Users discuss alternatives like AloATM, which lacks soothing agents, and the challenges of verifying ingredients.
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
A user experienced excessive hair shedding after taking 17 mg of Zinc gluconate daily for acne. They are seeking advice on similar experiences and solutions.
A user shared their pre-finasteride lab results, including DHT, estradiol, testosterone, SHBG, prolactin, FSH, and LH levels. Another user responded, cautioning against making unsupported claims about side effects and recovery.
The conversation discusses the potential of Replicel/Shiseido treatment for hair loss, questioning its effectiveness, whether it grows new follicles, and its market release timeline. It also compares Replicel to other competitors like Kyocera/RIKEN/Tsuji.
The user is experiencing low libido and mood swings after starting a low dose of topical finasteride. They are considering further blood tests to investigate low testosterone levels and other hormonal factors.
The conversation discusses treatments for a receding hairline, specifically comparing microneedling with exosomes to injecting them. The user seeks recommendations for beginner-friendly resources, such as YouTube videos, to help start these treatments.
Pirfenidone is suggested to treat fibrosis and baldness by blocking inflammation markers and reducing collagen. It is also available as a gel for scar removal.
Kintor edited their Amazon page, removing claims that KX-826 provides "real" visible results from clinical experiments. The discussion includes treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
