Follica's preferred microneedling protocol for hair growth, which includes needle depth, frequency and movement parameters as well as the use of topical treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride.
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
The user is experiencing new hair growth after using oral dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, but is concerned about black dots on the hairline, which might be clogged pores or dormant follicles. The user previously used a topical minoxidil/finasteride spray and had good results, despite a shedding phase after switching treatments.
Dr. Bloxham's 9-month update on FUT scar revision with Verteporfin shows promising results. Excitement is high for FUE, which appears highly effective based on Dr. Barghouthi's findings.
A 33-year-old man using finasteride, minoxidil, thickening shampoo, conditioner, and Nizoral noticed peach fuzz after a month and is hopeful for regrowth. Others shared mixed experiences, with some seeing further growth and others not.
User discusses verteporfin for hair regrowth through "super microneedling" and preventing scarring. They mention a case of an old man regrowing hair after a head injury and suggest verteporfin could recreate this result.
Hair loss and its potential treatments, such as minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, and supplements. It discusses whether miniaturized follicles can be revived to grow again or must shed for new growth to appear.
A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.
A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hair follicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
A user applied the 8T3 product for hair loss, targeting LPP and AGA, and plans to update on its effectiveness. The product uses a saline buffered phosphate vehicle, suitable for those intolerant to ethanolic vehicles.
Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
Follicum discovered that their drug FOL-005 increased hair count by 12 hairs per cm2 in patients with less than 255 hairs per cm2 and is planning a phase 2b trial. They are currently fundraising for the trial, and the drug may also be effective for women.
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
ABS-201 shows promise for male hair regrowth by blocking the prolactin receptor, with higher expected efficacy than current treatments. The discussion also covers dosing differences between macaques and humans for hmi115, highlighting a significant dosage disparity.
DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
Three months into using Minoxidil, finasteride, dermarolling, tretinoin, and saw palmetto shampoo, the user is seeing baby hairs on their hairline and is hopeful they will thicken. Another user reports that their own baby hairs have been getting thicker and longer over time.
The user noticed new baby hairs after using sulforaphane but is still experiencing shedding. They are seeking a supplement to stop shedding, possibly grape seed extract.
The user shared progress on hair regrowth after using 5% Minoxidil twice daily and microneedling 0.5mm a few times a week for 47 days. Other users noted visible improvement and regrowth of baby hair in the frontal temporal region.
Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
Post Finasteride Syndrome (PFS) may result from epigenetic changes and gut microbiota alterations. Supplementing with Allopregnanolone might protect against these adverse effects.
