Minoxidil may not be effective due to low sulfotransferase activity, and the user considers adding tretinoin to the regimen. They are unsure about the timing and combination with microneedling.
RU58841 and pyrilutamide are being discussed as potential hair loss treatments, with some users reporting side effects. There is interest in these treatments as alternatives to 5ar inhibitors and oral minoxidil due to concerns about safety and side effects.
User discusses a promising topical Procyanidin B2 treatment for hair loss. Users share mixed experiences and mention effective treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and LLLT.
Progress in hair loss treatments is slow, with current options like Minoxidil and finasteride being the most effective for now. A true cure, possibly involving stem cells or donor multiplication, is still considered far off.
The conversation discusses a user's plan to inject NAD+ and GHK-Cu into their scalp to improve hair health, with concerns raised about the risks of infection and necrosis. Alternatives like finasteride, dutasteride, microneedling, oral minoxidil, and scalp massages are suggested.
