120-150 / 1000+ resultscommunity Welp - pp405 conference showed nothing
PP405 shows potential for hair growth by increasing terminal hair and converting vellus hairs, but results are modest and more waiting is needed. It complements existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but won't replace them.
community A man in his 80s with full head of hair.
Genetics play a major role in hair loss, with some people keeping a full head of hair into old age without using treatments like minoxidil or finasteride. Many express frustration over their own hair loss and the perceived unfairness of genetic differences.
community Oral PTD-DBM available online, worth giving a shot?
Oral PTD-DBM was discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but it was deemed ineffective in humans despite promising results in mice. The conversation concluded that trying it without VPA might be unwise.
community Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) VS Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA)
Finasteride and Nizoral shampoo with Ketoconazole are used for hair loss treatment. Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS) is recommended over Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for more accurate DHT testing.
community Pelage Recruiting Now for Phase 2
Pelage is recruiting for phase 2 trials, showing promise for treating bald regions. The discussion highlights its potential effectiveness based on its mechanism of action.
community Proof DHT is not the main cause of hair loss. TRPS1 Gene and Protein might be. PP405 won’t work. AMP-303 might!
Hair loss may be linked to the TRPS1 gene and protein, not just DHT. Amplifica's AMP-303 targets mesenchymal stem cells and shows promise in treating hair loss, unlike Pelage's PP405.
community will long term 5ar inhibition alter my physical appearance?
A 19-year-old concerned about long-term effects of 5AR inhibitors on physical appearance. They have used finasteride and plan to try dutasteride or RU58841; responses suggest improved skin, hair, and confidence.
community Scams by hair transplant, prp, GFC clinics i faced 24/m. Is there a dna test that shows which meds are more suitable to individual saw a post link below
The user shares their experience with hair loss treatments, including oral finasteride, oral minoxidil, and a topical lotion for dandruff, expressing dissatisfaction with past treatments like PRP and hair transplants. They seek advice on a DNA test to determine suitable medications and express frustration with dermatologists' advice.
community Help with blood test results (DHT 3x higher than max limit)
community Interpreting test results + experimenting w/ routine (long post)
The user has been treating hair loss for over 11 years with various methods including Minoxidil, Keto shampoos, vitamins, and microneedling, but has avoided Finasteride due to fertility concerns. They have recently added Zix and The Ordinary Serum to their routine and are questioning their high DHT levels despite their efforts.
community New company created by Dr. Kang-Yell Choi to commercialize PTD-DBM therapy
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.
community A flowchart showing how dermatologists treat male-pattern baldness from UpToDate, the industry-standard reference
Dermatologists use treatments like oral minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for male-pattern baldness, considering side effects and patient preferences. Photobiomodulation is noted as mildly effective but costly, while PRP is debated for its effectiveness compared to microneedling.
community The final nail in the coffin. PP405 is confirmed JXL069.
community New article on PP405..........
Scientists at UCLA have developed a promising treatment for male pattern baldness using a molecule called PP405, which can potentially stimulate dormant hair follicles. Initial trials showed significant results within a week, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
community Hormone test results - anybody else have similar with fin/dut
community HMI-115 trials in China - How to participate?
A European individual planning to go to China is seeking information on how to participate in HMI-115 trials for Androgenetic Alopecia. They've tried contacting Mrs. Yang and Mr. Wang for assistance but haven't received a response.
community Found a slide summary for PP405
PP405 shows promise in stimulating new terminal hair growth by activating dormant follicles, with no systemic adverse effects observed in a short-term trial. However, long-term efficacy remains unproven, and further trials are needed to confirm its potential as a hair loss treatment.
community Further prolactin research....
HMI 115 did not work as expected for hair regrowth in humans, unlike in macaque monkeys. There is anticipation for further research on prolactin's role in hair loss, with expectations that pharmaceutical companies will likely solve this before universities.
community MPB at a young age. I Responded Early. hair is thick as ever (20y/o M)
A 20-year-old male experienced early hair thinning due to male pattern baldness and successfully thickened his hair using oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. The conversation highlights the importance of early action and overcoming fear of medication side effects.
community Rapid Minoxidil Response Test (TrichoGene) - anyone tried it?
A user tried the Rapid Minoxidil Response Test (TrichoGene) and found they don't respond to topical Minoxidil, so they added tretinoin. The test is available internationally, and another user is considering ordering it.
community PP405 vs Hair Cloning – Which Would Be Better for NW7 to NW1?
PP405 and hair cloning are discussed as potential treatments for reversing hair loss from Norwood 7 to Norwood 1. Hair cloning is seen as a more permanent solution, while PP405's effectiveness and long-term effects remain uncertain.
community Genomic Sequencing for Hair Loss
Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.
community TDM-105795 phase 2 results are in!
TDM-105795 showed promising hair growth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hair follicle stem cells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.
community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)
A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
