The conversation discusses the idea of creating finasteride gummies for hair loss treatment, with some users expressing skepticism about their effectiveness compared to pills. Concerns include the potential for reduced drug delivery in gummy form and the risk of children mistaking them for candy.
A compound called MTP3 from the Monoterpene family was found to be safe and highly effective at treating hair loss by inhibiting the FGF5 gene, but its identity is undisclosed for commercial reasons. No specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 were discussed.
2-Deoxy-D-Ribose is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but skepticism exists due to lack of human testing. The original poster uses a combination of topical Minoxidil, oral Finasteride, topical RU58841, and other treatments, reporting some hair regrowth but not significant results.
A user is making a 2-Deoxy-D-ribose solution and asks if it can be put into an oil instead of a gel, considering adding hydrocortisone and retinoic acid. They seek advice on the best carrier oil for hair growth.
Panax ginseng, specifically a ginsenoside-enriched formulation, is suggested as a potential hair growth treatment alongside finasteride and minoxidil. The user is considering trying panax ginseng despite limited availability and evidence.
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.
The conversation discusses the delay in bringing FAK inhibitors and Stanford's hydrogel to market for hair transplants, with a preference for FAK inhibitors over Verteporfin due to their superior potential in preventing scarring. The user expresses frustration over the slow progress and hopes for faster development by companies like FAKnostics.
The conversation discusses the potential of topical rapamycin, metformin, and alpha-ketoglutarate (a-KG) for hair growth, with skepticism expressed about their effectiveness based on personal experience and existing use. It also mentions AICAR, known as cardarine or GW, which is not suitable for long-term use due to cancer risks in animal studies and its similarity to metformin.
Gizzela is unsure about the dosage and frequency of copper peptides and asks if they can be used with Stemoxydine. They seek advice on applying these treatments together.
A sugar gel is claimed to spark hair regrowth, but users express skepticism, noting that minoxidil and finasteride remain the most effective treatments. Many users joke about frequent "breakthroughs" that work on rats but not humans, and some mention the potential of PP405 as a future treatment.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
The conversation discusses the differences between PG/Ethanol and KB solutions for RU58841 application, focusing on potential scalp irritation. KB solution is suggested for those allergic to PG, though both contain ethanol which can dry the scalp.
The conversation discusses hair regrowth using dissolvable microneedles loaded with rapamycin and epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses the potential of Sanguisorba Officinalis Root Extract as a treatment for hair loss by inhibiting FGF-5. The user also mentions the product évolis, which is based on this extract but is only available in the US and Australia.
Adipose fat cells and stem cells may help treat hair loss by restoring the scalp's thickness. Treatments like NanoFat injections and Botox are discussed for their potential to promote hair growth.
Cutting sugar may not significantly impact hair loss, as DHT and androgen receptors are the main issues. Effective treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil, often combined with microneedling.
Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.
Oleic acid and ethanol are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users planning to self-experiment. There is skepticism about their effectiveness, and ongoing use of treatments like finasteride and minoxidil is mentioned.
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
A potential alternative to Minoxidil for hair loss is discussed, specifically a sugar hydrogel. Users express skepticism about new treatments becoming reality.
Norwood 7 hair loss is often excluded from trials to ensure treatments appear more effective and to reduce costs. Some believe treatments effective for Norwood 5 could work on Norwood 7, but companies prioritize market readiness.
The conversation discusses using gartanin from mangosteen mixed with castor oil to degrade the androgen receptor for hair loss treatment. Alternatives like setipiprant, minoxidil, and dermastamping are also mentioned, with concerns about cost and potential side effects.
Elastin-based peptides may help reduce wrinkles and could potentially benefit the scalp. The conversation suggests using them with hyaluronic acid gel to improve scalp health and reduce hair fall.
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
