The conversation discusses the lack of experiments combining verteporfin and microneedling for hair loss treatment. The user expresses interest in participating in a group buy to try this method.
Finasteride is not linked to a 60% risk of persistent sexual dysfunction; this figure applies only to those already experiencing sexual issues. Most users do not have side effects, and the study's methodology is criticized for selection bias.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and TB-500 Thymosin Beta-4. It critiques the credibility of biohacking claims.
Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgen receptors in the scalp.
User discusses verteporfin for hair regrowth through "super microneedling" and preventing scarring. They mention a case of an old man regrowing hair after a head injury and suggest verteporfin could recreate this result.
Hair loss can be treated by correcting glucose metabolism in hair follicles and using equol as a safer DHT blocker. Production of these treatments is starting soon, and a Discord channel is available for more information.
Exploring future hair loss treatments, including immunosuppressants for hair transplants and hair cloning, with a focus on leveraging research from other medical fields. Current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are effective for most, but there's a call for more funding and innovation in the hair loss industry.
The user reported subtle hair regrowth by focusing on scalp health and lifestyle changes, using Nizoral shampoo and methods to reduce inflammation and cortisol, without using finasteride, minoxidil, or other common treatments. Opinions in the conversation varied, with some skeptical of the results and others acknowledging the potential benefits of addressing scalp health and inflammation.
The conversation discusses why the difference between donor and balding hair isn't studied more to find a cure for hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Hair follicle regenerative therapy is being developed, with clinical trials planned in Japan, potentially allowing for hair cloning and eliminating the need for treatments like finasteride. If successful, the treatment could be available in Japan by 2025, but widespread access and affordability may take longer.
A new study suggests microneedling alone doesn't benefit male balding, but users argue the study's methods differ from common practices, like combining microneedling with minoxidil and using more frequent treatments. Some believe the study's short duration and infrequent sessions are inadequate to assess microneedling's effectiveness.
Microneedling and tretinoin may enhance minoxidil absorption for hair loss, but evidence on their effectiveness is limited. Iron supplements and broccoli sprouts are suggested for enzyme activation, but their impact on hair is unclear.
Hair loss treatments, specifically about the effectiveness of RU58841 compared to Pyrilutamide. Molecular weights and side effects were discussed in terms of efficacy and cost-effectiveness.
User Topher1999 achieved hair regrowth using Dutasteride 3 times a week and microneedling with Dr. Pen Ultima A6 every 2 weeks for 9 months. They believe microneedling is the main reason for hairline gains.
Stem cell-related treatments and drugs like RCGD423 and WAY are being tested for hair growth. Clinics are conducting tests on patients who haven't had previous treatments.
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically asking for updates on verteporfin research following promising results. No specific treatments were discussed in the provided text.
A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals announced positive Phase 2a trial results for PP405 in hair loss therapy. The conversation discusses the delay in publishing full results and the need for further trials and approvals.
Scientists discovered a potential baldness treatment from hairy moles, which can be injected like Botox. Users discussed the treatment's implications, including its safety and effectiveness.
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.
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
Stopping antihistamines may resolve neurological side effects when using finasteride. Users experienced muscle aches, headaches, and lethargy when combining the two.
Gene editing for hair loss is not yet viable due to technological and economic challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants remain the most practical options.
Yokohama University and Dr. Fukuda plan human hair multiplication trials in 2023. Users express hope for future hair cloning treatments over current hair transplants.
A user who shared progress pictures of their scalp using a microscope camera, demonstrating the difference between healthy and miniaturized hair. Various explanations for the cause of this were discussed, such as DHT build-up in scalp sebum causing an autoimmune response leading to inflammation and eventual hair loss, with some suggesting a do-it-yourself treatment involving adding ascorbic acid powder to shampoo.
