Follica's preferred microneedling protocol for hair growth, which includes needle depth, frequency and movement parameters as well as the use of topical treatments such as minoxidil and finasteride.
The user is using a hair loss treatment regimen that includes RU58841, minoxidil mixed with finasteride, adenosine, dermarolling with lidocaine cream, and biotin. They are questioning if they are dermarolling too aggressively and are willing to accept baldness if no improvement is seen in 6 months.
The conversation discusses concerns about potential cognitive and emotional effects of finasteride, with the original poster planning to monitor their cognitive performance while using the treatment. A user responds that most people do not experience cognitive shifts, though some report subtle changes.
Finasteride can cause dry eyes and vision issues due to its impact on the meibomian glands. Users have mixed experiences, with some experiencing eye discomfort and others having no side effects.
Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.
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.
Scientists have successfully grown functional hairfollicles in the lab, marking a significant advancement in hair regeneration research. A user shared their personal experience with hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil and Finasteride, and plans to share a detailed protocol for hair restoration.
Hairfollicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
Chinese researchers have successfully created hairfollicles in vitro, potentially offering unlimited hair for transplantation and a cure for hair loss. They plan to test these follicles in vivo on human scalps.
Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.
Hairfollicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hairfollicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
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.
Hair loss treatments are difficult because hairfollicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
