PP405 shows promise for hairfollicle reactivation with minimal side effects. Users recommend continuing Minoxidil and Finasteride until more results are confirmed.
Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hairfollicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hairfollicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
A deoxyribose sugar gel may work as well as minoxidil for hair regrowth by boosting blood supply to hairfollicles. Some users discuss combining it with minoxidil and cetrizine, but caution is advised due to potential risks and lack of consistent results.
Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.
Fluridil may decrease the number of androgen receptors in hairfollicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
PP405 is a promising new hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hairfollicles without side effects. It could surpass traditional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride if successful in further trials.
Dr. Bloxham's trial is testing verteporfin on hair transplant patients to see if it can improve hair regrowth in treated areas. People are discussing the potential for follicle regeneration, expected results timeline, and concerns about side effects like cancer.
Hair loss may be caused by calcification of capillaries in the scalp, restricting blood flow to hairfollicles. A daily treatment regimen including high doses of Vitamins D and K, Magnesium, and Nattokinase could potentially decalcify these capillaries, improving blood flow and hair growth. However, some users warn against excessive Vitamin D intake and emphasize the need for medical consultation.
Microneedling for hair loss and its potential long-term effects. Some users believe it can cause fibrosis and scar tissue if done too frequently or deeply, while others claim it has improved their hair loss when done correctly. There is limited scientific research on the topic.
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hairfollicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hairfollicle sensitivity to DHT.
A potential treatment for hair loss that involves injecting fat into the scalp; the role of testosterone and estrogen in thinning fat tissue under the skin; research on using lard to treat androgenic alopecia, as well as PRP + ACELL/amniotic stem cell treatments; and ongoing clinical trials by doctors involved in the study.
A user experienced hair thinning due to traction alopecia from using Murray's Beeswax and is considering treatments like minoxidil and finasteride to reverse the damage. Another user suggests consulting a hair specialist, as the hair may not regrow if scar tissue has formed.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth using finasteride and dutasteride, with noticeable results after switching to dutasteride. Minoxidil was deemed unnecessary due to the restoration of the hairline and lack of hairfollicles in bald spots.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hairfollicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.
How Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce hair loss by reducing the amount of DHT in scalp areas, as well as discussing factors such as sensitivity to DHT, 5α-reductase expression in different parts of the hairfollicle, and scalp tension.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hairfollicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.
Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hairfollicles to androgens.
The conversation discusses the use of Verteporfin in hair loss treatment. It suggests that Verteporfin could potentially regenerate hairfollicles instead of forming scars, providing an unlimited donor supply for hair transplants.
PP405 is the most promising future treatment for hair loss, aiming to reactivate dormant hairfollicles. Clascoterone 5% is the most promising near-term drug, while current strategies include using finasteride or dutasteride to stabilize hair loss and minoxidil to stimulate growth.
The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hairfollicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hairfollicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.
Resveratrol and fisetin, found in red wine and strawberries, may promote hair growth by affecting hairfollicle cells. Users discuss various treatments, including natural remedies like saw palmetto and topical applications, with mixed opinions on their effectiveness compared to pharmaceuticals like finasteride.
The conversation discusses hair cloning trials expected to start in 2020-2021 and mentions concerns about potential delays due to the Coronavirus. Treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are referenced.
The conversation is about the effects of steroids on hair loss. Some users believe that steroids can cause hair loss, while others argue that it depends on individual sensitivity to DHT. There is also discussion about the appearance of balding individuals who use steroids.
