The conversation discusses that genetic analysis of the Iceman Ötzi shows he had male-pattern baldness and dark skin, with a joke about using beards and tattoos to distract from hair loss. No specific hair loss treatments are mentioned.
Male pattern baldness and diffuse thinning can both be forms of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), and it's important to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and biotin are discussed, but their effectiveness varies, and side effects are a concern.
The conversation is about the safety of Breezula compared to RU58841 for hair loss treatment. The user believes Breezula is safer but less effective than RU58841.
Hair loss treatments RU55841, CB-03-01, and Eucapil were discussed, with concerns about needing increased dosages over time and potential side effects. A user suggested that CB's results could be due to various factors and that combining it with finasteride might slow down any upregulation.
A dermatologist checked for hereditary hair loss using blood tests and plans to perform a trichogram. The user had slightly low Vitamin D3 levels, and the trichogram may help confirm androgenetic alopecia.
The user is considering using CB or clascoterone for hair loss, potentially as an alternative to RU. They're also contemplating asking a dermatologist for topical clascoterone cream to apply to their temple.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
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.
Using finasteride before a hair transplant can prevent further hair loss and make the transplant look more natural. Patients should continue using finasteride until hair cloning becomes available.
HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.
High cost of studying 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in hair loss led to suggestions of crowdfunding for research. Users discussed using Procyanidin B2/melatonin topical treatment and tracking funds with blockchain.
A 27-year-old male experienced rapid hair loss after dengue fever, which activated a balding gene. The doctor suggested platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth.
The conversation discusses hair loss and specific treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. It also highlights Procyanidin B-2 as a secret ingredient for hair growth.
User reports 12-week progress with HIMS spray, Minoxidil, micro-needling, and biotin. Notable baby hairs on crown and temples, hoping for further improvement.
Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
A 25-year-old male experienced significant hair loss due to telogen effluvium and androgenetic alopecia. He began using finasteride, minoxidil, and vitamins, seeing some regrowth but remains worried about hair density.
A user shared their experience with a second hair transplant by Dr. Gokhan Gur, focusing on the midscalp and crown with 1849 grafts. Their current treatment includes dutasteride, finasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, and Nizoral shampoo.
The conversation discusses HMI 115, a new hair loss treatment with promising results, showing a significant increase in hair density after two months. Some users are skeptical, while others are hopeful for its release and potential affordability.
The user is experiencing progressive hair thinning despite using finasteride and dutasteride. A biopsy confirmed male pattern baldness, and minoxidil was suggested as an additional treatment.
People are discussing the effectiveness of Breezula for hair loss maintenance. Some individuals are using Breezula alone, avoiding finasteride, and one plans to use Breezula after a hair transplant.
CB-03-01 is considered a failed treatment for hair loss, with future hopes pinned on PP-405 and GT-20029, expected by 2030. Alternatives like hair transplants and SMP are discussed, while some users express frustration over the slow progress of treatments like Breezula.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
RootBioTec, a basil hairy root extract, claims to reduce hair loss by 31% in two months by inhibiting 5α reductase II and stimulating hair follicles. There is limited independent information available about its effectiveness.
Hair loss involves more than just DHT, with genetic factors like TRPS affecting hair follicles. Treatments such as Amplifica's AMP-601 and AMP-303 target stem cells for potential hair growth solutions.
GT20029 is a new hair loss treatment in Phase 3 trials in China, using PROTAC technology to target androgen receptors, potentially with fewer side effects than finasteride and minoxidil. VDPHL01, a second-generation minoxidil, is also mentioned as potentially more effective.
