Creatine generally does not affect hair loss, but some report increased shedding due to higher DHT levels. Many manage hair loss with dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
Transitioning genders humorously suggested for hair regrowth, noting some transgender individuals experience this. Discusses treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and hormone therapy, but advises against transitioning solely for hair regrowth.
Creatine may accelerate hair loss in those genetically predisposed, with some users reporting increased shedding while taking it and improvement after stopping. Some users use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, while opinions on creatine's impact vary.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hairfollicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hairfollicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.
The user is using testosterone and finasteride to prevent hair loss and is considering adding Primobolan or Masteron, which are DHT-derivatives. They are seeking advice on their genetic risk for male pattern baldness and whether they can safely use these compounds without significant hair loss.
Excess sebum rich in cholesterol and triglycerides can lead to hair loss through inflammation, with treatments like Ciclopirox shampoo, Benzoyl Peroxide shampoo, and Clindamycin gel recommended for managing conditions like seborrheic dermatitis and folliculitis. Pioglitazone is suggested for Lichen Planopilaris, while Omega-3s and reducing processed foods may improve sebum quality, though genetic factors play a significant role.
Pyrilutamide is considered to work for hair loss but less effectively than expected, similar to RU58841, and may cause side effects like chest tightness and sexual issues. It's unclear if it's suitable for diffuse thinners, and one user cannot use minoxidil or finasteride due to side effects and personal circumstances.
A user shared their positive experience with Roots by GA, a company that creates personalized hair loss treatments based on DNA analysis, which confirmed their inability to tolerate finasteride. The user is satisfied with their progress 30 days after a hair transplant and the customized formula they received.
The post and conversation are about a user seeing hair regrowth after using Rogaine, rosemary oil, pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto, microneedling, and LLLT. The user plans to add Nizoral soon and is hopeful about continued progress.
Applying minoxidil and finasteride to the temples won't cause shedding elsewhere. Shedding occurs due to hairfollicles resetting their growth cycle, not the application location.
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.
Diet and lifestyle changes can reduce hair shedding but won't regrow hair lost to genetic male pattern baldness. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are necessary for significant hair regrowth.
Tazarotene shows potential as a standalone treatment for hair regrowth by stimulating new hairfollicle formation and promoting angiogenesis, similar to microneedling effects. It can be used topically without minoxidil, but users should start with a low concentration to avoid irritation.
MCL-1 is important for hairfollicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.
New potential hair loss treatment uses molecules from hairy moles to stimulate follicle growth. Topical solution requires less frequent application, like Botox injections a few times per year.
Feeding bacteria-free mice with Lactobacillus murinus worsened hair loss, but a regular diet with biotin stopped it. The conversation suggests gut bacteria and diet may influence hair loss, with some skepticism and discussion about other factors like DHT and genetics.
Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hairfollicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.
Redensyl is a plant-based treatment that may support hair regrowth by reactivating dormant follicles and improving hair density, especially in early-stage thinning. It is not a miracle cure and results vary; it is less proven than Minoxidil or Finasteride and may cause scalp irritation.
PP405 shows promise for reactivating hairfollicles, with potential maintenance using 5AR inhibitors. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are effective but have limitations, and there is hope for more effective solutions in the future.
Hair loss discussion mentions Native Americans' resistance to male pattern baldness and lack of facial hair. Users discuss genetics, sun exposure, and potential treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
Hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and minoxidil, being used by wealthy individuals to combat their genetic predisposition to baldness. It also discussed other potential treatments such as RU58841 and dutasteride.
Shiseido's S-DSC hair regenerative treatment in Japan focuses on improving existing hair by thickening miniaturized follicles, not creating new ones. There is limited patient feedback and long-term data available.
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.
The user experienced side effects from finasteride and is considering switching to dutasteride, while also using pyrilutamide to protect hairfollicles. They are seeking advice on whether to add RU58841 to their regimen.
Increasing the finasteride dosage from 1mg every other day to 1mg daily can cause increased shedding, which is normal as hairfollicles adjust. Shedding may stabilize in a few weeks to months, and sticking with the new dosage could lead to better long-term results.
Shedding is common when using finasteride and minoxidil, and it typically stabilizes after a few months, with potential regrowth following. Users report varying experiences, but shedding is generally seen as a normal part of the treatment process.
Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
