Someone's brother tried Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for hair loss; it had minimal effect on hair but improved skin appearance. Microneedling at home was suggested as a more sustainable alternative.
Doctors are testing verteporfin topically for healing and potential regeneration after transplants. The user is asking how it is formulated for topical use, such as if it's mixed with a carrier gel.
Hair cell therapy and follicle cloning are still in experimental stages, with treatments like hair multiplication and regenerative hair therapy being marketed but not yet proven to create unlimited new follicles. There is skepticism about the effectiveness and legitimacy of these treatments, with some considering them scams.
A blood cancer survivor in remission since 2022 is experiencing thin and patchy hair after chemotherapy and is using Minoxidil without much success. They are seeking personal experiences and advice on hair transplants after cancer treatment.
The post discusses speeding up verteporfin trials for hair loss treatment. The original poster, involved in the trials, requests help in crowdsourcing doctor emails to spread awareness and gather more support for the trials.
Epibiotech will offer off-the-shelf allogeneic hair multiplication treatment in South Korea, using dermal papilla cells from donors to grow hair in balding areas. This method is cheaper and less invasive than traditional hair transplants.
PP405 cannot restore extracted hair follicles after a transplant as they are removed, not dormant. Combining verteporphin with wounding and PP405 is suggested but not confirmed effective.
Hair transplant recipients are concerned about whether dormant follicles are permanently damaged by incisions, but some believe undamaged follicles could still regrow if a treatment like PP405 is effective. Opinions vary on the impact of transplants on original follicles, with some suggesting treatments like finasteride can help regrow hair.
The conversation discusses hair loss and queries the effectiveness of treatments like PRP, Exosome therapy, peptides, and StemCell therapy. Specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also mentioned.
The conversation discusses verteporfin as a potential treatment for hair regeneration, which could lead to unlimited hair transplants by healing the donor area. Some users are considering using verteporfin now, while others are hopeful it will be available for future hair transplants.
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stemcell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
The conversation discusses the progress and potential of hair cloning by Stemson Therapeutics, questioning if it will be realized in the next 5-10 years or if it's just false hope. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
PRP treatment for hair loss shows some evidence of effectiveness, with HT surgeons using it post-op to promote growth. Microneedling is mentioned as a cheaper alternative.
The conversation discusses new hair loss treatments like stemcell therapy, exosome treatments, and DHI, with mentions of GT20029, Amp303, and Plated PRP Serum as promising options. It also notes the use of dutasteride, topical finasteride, and minoxidil, but the focus is on non-hormonal innovations.
The conversation discusses the benefits of combining scalp stemcell treatments and exohealer with RF microneedling before a hair transplant. The original poster recommends these treatments for better results.
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
Stemson Therapeutics announced a breakthrough in hair growth technology using stem cells. Users discussed the potential high cost and skepticism about the treatment's accessibility.
The user experienced hair loss after chikungunya and started PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections with injectable Dutasteride, noticing new hair growth. They are hopeful for continued improvement.
Researchers are working on regenerating hair follicles using stem cells, but a cure for baldness is still years away. Current treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
PTD-DBM therapy for hair loss is being developed by Dr. Kang-Yell Choi, with human testing planned in South Korea. Some clinics in the U.S. offer PTD-DBM/valproic acid therapy, but it hasn't completed trials yet.
Hair/scalp cloning for unlimited transplants is likely a decade away, with prior transplants not significantly affecting future options. Advances in AI and research in wound-induced hair neogenesis are promising, but infrastructure and technology constraints remain challenges.
PRP treatments have been effective for the user, with a new recommendation of using a high-quality plasma kit once a year. The user seeks experiences with this specific PRP approach.
A new stemcell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss, but skepticism remains about its availability. Users humorously discuss the effectiveness of treatments on mice compared to humans.
Exosome stemcell treatment for hair loss, which is expensive and reportedly effective, but its popularity has declined. The conversation also mentions Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as treatments.
The user has been using 1MG finasteride, 5% minoxidil, LLLT, and derma stamping for a year to improve hair density for a potential transplant. They are considering switching to dutasteride and are unsure whether to proceed with a transplant now or wait for more growth.
Verteporfin may improve hair transplant outcomes and reduce scarring, potentially allowing patients to avoid finasteride. Dr. Barghouthi seeks collaborations, volunteers, and financial support for research on verteporfin.org.
