The user is considering liposomal minoxidil due to non-response and side effects from other treatments. They are exploring tretinoin with topical minoxidil as an alternative.
The conversation is about experimenting with topical exosomes for hair loss treatment, alongside microneedling, Happy Head's gel-like topical, and Ordinary's hair serum. The user also mentions the availability of treatments like latanoprost and Redensyl.
A user is considering ordering topical finasteride with castor and rosemary oil from a Turkish pharmacy. They are debating whether to include the oils or use only PG and ethanol as the carrier.
The conversation discusses experiences with topical dutasteride for hair loss, comparing formulations from FUEClinic, MinoxidilMax, and Strut. Users share their results and side effects, with some preferring topical over oral treatments to minimize systemic absorption.
Exosomes are discussed as a new hair loss treatment, but skepticism is expressed about their effectiveness. Other treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Exosomes were used for hair loss treatment, showing results 33 days after the second session. The conversation also mentions Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as treatments.
Creating a propylene glycol-free Minoxidil and Tretinoin solution to reduce skin irritation and enhance effectiveness. An emulsifier like lecithin can help mix Tretinoin properly, and Minoxidil foam is an alternative without propylene glycol.
Veradermics' extended-release oral minoxidil is expected to be commercially available in 2027-2028, while another company, Minx, may release a similar product sooner. VDPHL01 is considered more clinically validated compared to Minx.
Mixing RU58841 with cetosomal minoxidil is discussed due to scalp irritation from ethanol PG vehicles. A mixture of the two turned bright pink when left to dry.
A quercetin-encapsulated and polydopamine-integrated nanosystem (PDA@QLipo) shows promise for treating androgenetic alopecia by reshaping the perifollicular microenvironment, outperforming minoxidil in hair regeneration. The nanosystem promotes cell proliferation, hair follicle renewal, and recovery by scavenging reactive oxygen species and enhancing neovascularity.
The conversation is about the stability of pyrilutamide in different solutions. The user is asking if a 70/30 ethanol/pg solution with 4% water will degrade pyrilutamide.
The conversation is about creating a topical finasteride solution without minoxidil, using an alcohol-basedbase like ethanol. The discussion includes using finasteride in powder form and mentions adding ingredients like glycerol, salicylic acid, or castor oil.
A user is considering making a 2% clascoterone lotion from powder due to unavailability in their location. They plan to mix clascoterone powder with retinol lotion and use literature to determine the correct dosage.
Keratin microspheres may offer additional mechanisms to combat hair loss compared to minoxidil. The process to create these microspheres is relatively simple and can be done at home with basic equipment.
User wants to make homemade topical finasteride to minimize side effects and asks about using glycerin, stirring time, storage, and alternative solvents. Another user's comment is unclear.
A user made a 70/30 ethanol/propylene glycol topical finasteride solution but noticed chunks at the bottom. The discussion focuses on this issue with the DIY hair loss treatment.
Exosomes are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users reporting initial improvement. One user moved on to using dutasteride and oral minoxidil with positive results.
Veradermics' new hair loss treatment, VDPHL01, is likely a modified release oral minoxidil, which has received $75 million in funding for clinical trials. Despite skepticism about investing in a known treatment, some believe it could offer improved efficacy and reduced side effects.
The conversation is about the best vehicle for RU58841, comparing trichosol and Garnier/Vichy Stemoxydine, avoiding propylene glycol (PG) or ethanol due to previous scalp damage. The user is also seeking sources for these products in the EU.
The conversation discusses using topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, with concerns about high DHT levels. The user's DHT level is above the normal range, which may affect hair health.
Topical finasteride with hydroxypropyl chitosan shows significantly less serum absorption and minimal DHT reduction compared to oral finasteride. Users need the specific chitosan formulation to avoid side effects seen with regular ethanol+PG solutions.
Dutasteride is more effective in gel capsule form due to better absorption, as it is fat-soluble. If only pills are available, taking them with fat or increasing the dose slightly may help.
The conversation discusses using hair follicle dermal papilla exosomes for hair loss treatment. It inquires about purchasing options for this treatment.
Plant-based exosomes for hair loss lack scientific evidence and are considered high-risk with low evidence. Combining PRF with minoxidil and finasteride is suggested as a better option.
The conversation is about the potential format of Breezula, a hair loss treatment, and concerns that it might be greasy or sticky. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses two methods for making topical finasteride: using ethanol and propylene glycol or mixing it with topical minoxidil. The focus is on solubility and absorption, with a suggestion to crush pills finely and possibly mix with minoxidil at a slightly elevated temperature.
The conversation discusses how to mix pyrilutamide for hair loss treatment, suggesting a mixture of 500mg pyrilutamide with 70% ethanol and 30% propylene glycol, and a potential application dose of 1mL. The user has not personally used pyrilutamide but has researched its preparation and application based on others' experiences.
