The user shared progress pictures after using 5% topical Minoxidil inconsistently for three months, along with starting Dutasteride two weeks ago and alternating with Finasteride. They reported no shedding and are considering switching to only Dutasteride once Finasteride runs out, while also experiencing some minor side effects that resolved quickly.
The conversation discusses diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) and its possible causes, including sensitivity to DHT, not being androgenic alopecia, being diffuse alopecia areata, or hormonal issues. Treatments mentioned include topical melatonin, Clobetasol Propionate for alopecia areata, and the lack of results from using finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.

PP405 is seen as a potential breakthrough for converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs, with users expressing both hope and skepticism. It is compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with discussions on side effects and marketing concerns.
Treating the itch associated with male pattern baldness, which is believed to be caused by DHT. Potential treatments discussed include salt water, finasteride, ketoconazole, and RU58841.
Pyrilutamide, a potential topical treatment for male pattern baldness, and the user's anticipation of its Phase 2 trial results. Several users discussed their experiences with Finasteride and RU58841, while others voiced skepticism about the efficacy of Pyrilutamide.
Hairfollicle stem cells remain in bald individuals, but progenitor cells do not, raising questions about hair regrowth claims by Pelage. PP405 is discussed as a potential treatment, with skepticism about its effectiveness compared to existing treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
The conversation discusses using hairfollicle dermal papilla exosomes for hair loss treatment. It inquires about purchasing options for this treatment.
Hairfollicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.
A user plans to experiment with creating new hairfollicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.
Hairfollicles can potentially produce more hair strands with treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Notable improvements in hair density are possible, but achieving multiple strands per follicle is uncertain.
The user discusses their experience with hair loss despite taking estrogen and cyproterone, and estimates needing around 3000 grafts for a feminine hairline. They are considering getting the procedure done in Turkey due to high European costs.
After one month of treatment for hair loss, which included Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, PRP with Dutasteride mesotherapy, microneedling, supplements, and a shampoo with finasteride and minoxidil, the user observed thicker hair and signs of new hair growth with no bad side effects. They plan to provide another update at the three-month mark.
Hair loss treatments are difficult because hairfollicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Scientists have grown natural-looking hair from stem cells, potentially revolutionizing hair growth treatments. Concerns include cost, DHT resistance, and the need for future procedures.
Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.
Hair loss can be treated by correcting glucose metabolism in hairfollicles and using equol as a safer DHT blocker. Production of these treatments is starting soon, and a Discord channel is available for more information.
A 21-year-old with accelerated hair loss due to stress and weight loss is using minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling to combat balding, despite experiencing a significant initial hair shed. They are committed to continuing treatment for at least three months and are considering switching to topical finasteride if necessary.
Intermittent fasting may suppress hairfollicle regeneration, but opinions vary on its impact on hair loss. Some users report no negative effects or even hair improvement while using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
PP405 may damage hairfollicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
Rhamnose may promote hair growth and pigmentation, suggesting it as a potential hair loss treatment. The conversation discusses its potential alongside known treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of hair loss treatments, specifically finasteride and dutasteride. The conclusion is that dutasteride significantly reduces DHT levels and may be more effective than finasteride for long-term hair retention, with some users reporting personal experiences and side effects.
Treatments for hair loss, such as minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841; humorous posts about hair loss; and the choice to stop using treatments in exchange for a different look.
PP405 cannot restore extracted hairfollicles after a transplant as they are removed, not dormant. Combining verteporphin with wounding and PP405 is suggested but not confirmed effective.
