PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hairfollicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
Treatments for hair loss, such as using AR receptor blockers and degraders, to see if follicles can regenerate in the long term. The conversation also discusses how hair transplants could be a potential solution.
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hairfollicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
A potential non-invasive topical treatment targeting the WNT Signaling Pathway for hair regeneration is being researched, with positive results on human hairfollicle cells. Current effective treatments for hair loss include Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
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.
Taking finasteride alone did not stop hair loss, but adding vitamin D3 and iron supplements improved hair coverage and quality. It's important to check and address deficiencies, but caution is advised with iron supplementation without medical guidance.
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.
Verteporfin reduces scar tissue in hair transplants but doesn't significantly regrow hairfollicles. More testing is needed to determine its effectiveness.
A new "third cell" discovery in Japan could be key to fully regenerating hairfollicles, with human trials possibly starting in 2027-2028. AI is expected to accelerate medical discoveries, potentially leading to a hair loss cure within a few years.
Microneedling is unlikely to damage existing hair if done with a device using a smaller needle count, like a 9-needle cartridge, and a stamping motion. Hairfollicles are deeper than the typical needle penetration depth.
Prostaglandin balance affects hair loss, particularly in conditions like Lichen Planopilaris, where an imbalance can lead to hairfollicle damage. Treatments mentioned include prostaglandin analogs and Pioglitazone HCL, with a focus on maintaining prostaglandin equilibrium for potential hair regrowth.
Researchers at the University of Virginia discovered a new group of stem cells in hairfollicles that could potentially restore hair growth. The findings suggest that activating these stem cells might offer a new way to combat hair loss, though practical treatments are still years away.
A sugar gel called 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) shows potential for promoting hair regrowth by increasing blood supply to hairfollicles, similar to Minoxidil, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. It may benefit those who don't tolerate Minoxidil, but it is not a replacement for treatments like Finasteride or RU58841.
The conversation discusses potential future hair loss treatments, including SCUBE3, hairfollicle cloning, and GT20029, with mentions of past disappointments like CosmeRNA and hopes for treatments like Verteporfin for infinite donor hair.
The post is an update on the user's hair loss journey. They have a strong hairfollicle that has remained unaffected by hair loss for almost 3 years. The user is starting finasteride and using ketoconazole, alfatradiol, and oral castor oil for hair maintenance.
User discusses using Verteporfin for hair regrowth after hair transplant. Replies mention successful follicle regrowth in studies and mice, questioning if it can be replicated in humans.
PP405, a topical treatment, shows promise for hair growth by activating inactive follicles, with 66% of participants experiencing positive results. The treatment is well-tolerated and may proceed directly to Phase 3 trials, offering a potential alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
Minoxidil alone may not stop hair loss. Finasteride is recommended for androgenic alopecia, as minoxidil doesn't prevent DHT from miniaturizing hairfollicles.
Mallia Aesthetics has developed MAL-838, a hormone-free product derived from sCD83, which stimulates hair growth without disrupting the skin microbiome. sCD83 promotes hair growth by activating hairfollicles and preventing cell death, offering a localized treatment without systemic side effects.
Tretinoin can cause non-telogen hair loss in some men by inducing catagen-like changes in hairfollicles and through retinoid toxicity, especially when used with minoxidil. Some users report hair loss even when using retinoids on the face, while others experience benefits when combined with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
A sugar gel has been found to aid hair regrowth, similar to minoxidil, and may improve blood supply to hairfollicles. Some users report success with homemade versions, though side effects like dizziness have been noted.
The conversation is about various hair loss treatments, including finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and natural supplements like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil. It also covers methods to improve blood circulation, nourish hairfollicles, and address underlying health issues like vitamin D deficiency and high cortisol levels.
A user likes a natural hair styling product that makes their hair look thicker and is seeking opinions on whether it could harm hairfollicles. They also question if cold water is sufficient to wash the product out and mention they are experiencing hair thinning.
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hairfollicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hairfollicle stem cell multiplication and the financial challenges of starting human clinical trials. It also mentions the need for funding to secure a patent for a protein that promotes hair growth.
The individual has experienced no hair regrowth from using minoxidil and finasteride and is considering a hair restoration clinic's options, including PRP and nano folliclehair replacement, as well as a potential beard transplant. They are seeking advice on whether to pursue PRP, timing for hair replacement surgery, and experiences with beard transplants.
Switching milk brands cleared scalp inflammation and other symptoms, but hair shedding continues. The user hopes shedding will stop as hair cycles progress.
Shampoos, including those with ketoconazole, may offer mild benefits for hair health but are not effective for stopping hair loss or balding. Effective treatments for hair loss include finasteride and minoxidil, often used together, while shampoos are generally not on the scalp long enough to impact hairfollicles significantly.
A user is experiencing worsening hair loss despite using dutasteride, oral minoxidil, ketoconazole, and dermarolling. They are advised to reduce dermarolling frequency and depth to avoid damaging hairfollicles.
