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.
J. Hewitt plans to trial hair multiplication in Japan by the end of 2019. The technique was developed by German researchers at the University of Berlin and formed the company "TissUse."
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also references Epibiotech's hair multiplication and cell therapy as potential solutions.
The user does not respond well to minoxidil and is seeking an alternative to Tretinoin to upregulate sulfurtransferase activity for hair loss treatment. No specific alternative treatments were mentioned.
Minoxidil may inhibit collagen synthesis at high concentrations, with anecdotal reports of skin aging but limited research. Dermatologists and other specialists show little interest in studying minoxidil's side effects.
Hair loss discussion includes treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. Users share experiences and support, mentioning that many people face hair thinning.
The user transitioned from finasteride to RU58841 and oral minoxidil to maintain hair gains while avoiding systemic DHT suppression. They have not experienced increased shedding or side effects since stopping finasteride and hope RU58841 will preserve their hair.
Users discuss finding reliable sources for RU58841, focusing on lab tests, batch consistency, and community reputation. Some mention using alternatives like pyrilutamide.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
The conversation discusses the variability in effectiveness of medications, including finasteride, and questions whether different manufacturers impact results. The user suggests sharing successful brands to help others identify effective options.
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
The user experienced hairline recession despite using topical finasteride/minoxidil and is considering whether misapplication was the cause. They are exploring options after experiencing side effects from oral finasteride, including possibly returning to the topical formulation with adjusted application methods.
The trial for TDM-105795 has been completed, and it was in phase 2A. The discussion seeks input on the next phases, 2B or 3, based on safety and efficacy.
The post and conversation are about the high cost and skepticism surrounding pyrilutamide as a hair loss treatment, with comparisons to minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. The original poster defends pyrilutamide's effectiveness and criticizes others for dismissing it without proper understanding.
KX-826 (Pyrilutamide) 0.5% and 1.0% solutions showed promising results in increasing hair count for male androgenetic alopecia, with the 0.5% dose slightly outperforming the 1% dose. The treatment was well-tolerated with no sexual side effects, but skepticism remains due to past inconsistencies in trial results.
A user started working with a leading hair cloning lab to address their hair loss. They have a computer science background and will assist with data science.
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically Pyrludimide (KX-826) and Breezula (clascoterone), with the user unable to tolerate finasteride and dutasteride. The user plans to use these treatments alongside minoxidil, considering the efficacy and availability of each option.
A 21-year-old is experiencing severe hair shedding after 8 months of using topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, losing all progress made. Others advise that shedding is normal and temporary, suggesting to continue the treatment and ensure the use of genuine products.
Clascoterone in Winlevi, a topical AR antagonist, is being re-examined due to concerns about HPA axis suppression in adolescents, but it's unlikely to be banned for adult use in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The European Medicines Agency recommended refusing Winlevi for acne vulgaris, but this may not affect Breezula's approval for AGA.
GT20029 and pyrilutamide are both androgen antagonists but work differently; GT20029 degrades the androgen receptor, while pyrilutamide blocks DHT from binding. GT20029 is expected to have similar efficacy to CosmeRNA.
The conversation discusses the less impressive results of Pyrilutamide (kx-836) in phase 3 compared to phase 2, with a suggestion that a longer study might show more significant results. One user reports personal success with Pyrilutamide, experiencing no further hair loss and gradual regrowth.
The user experienced hair shedding after increasing minoxidil from 5% to 7% with latanoprost, possibly causing telogen effluvium. They are on HRT with Lupron, Estradiol, and Raloxifene, and are concerned about the shedding's duration.
A user humorously lamented spilling their minoxidil, describing it as a dramatic and personal loss. Others shared similar experiences and advised caution if pets are around.
The conversation is about sourcing gray market compounds, gt20029 and pp405, for hair loss treatment. The user is interested in these compounds despite their unproven status and potential risks.
A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.
Minoxidil bottle developed crystals, possibly due to air exposure, but the trichologist advised not to worry. The user questions the advice, noting the lack of recommendations for finasteride or derma rolling.
Hair loss discussion includes LLLT treatments and a satirical condition called PLLLTS, causing patients to resemble lighthouses and attract moths. Some users express concern about others taking the satire seriously.
