PTD-DBM is being explored for hair regrowth by targeting CXXC5, with clinical trials expected after pre-clinical studies. Users express anticipation and skepticism about its effectiveness.
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.
Lighting can significantly affect the perception of hair progress in photos. The user has been using dutasteride and oral minoxidil for hair loss, noting improvements after switching from finasteride.
The importance of lighting when taking progress pictures and discussing hair growth, as dramatic changes can be seen even without real improvements. The users also discussed methods such as Fin min and dermarolling for treating hair loss.
Capilia Longa and Scandinavian Biolabs are discussed, with skepticism about their effectiveness and value. The conversation suggests avoiding these products due to high cost and perceived lack of results.
PP405 is seen as a potential breakthrough for converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs, with users expressing both hope and skepticism. It is compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with discussions on side effects and marketing concerns.
Emerging hair loss treatments like PP405, a topical MPC inhibitor, show promise in activating stem cells for hair growth. The conversation seeks information on the development stages and accessibility of these treatments.
A user applied the 8T3 product for hair loss, targeting LPP and AGA, and plans to update on its effectiveness. The product uses a saline buffered phosphate vehicle, suitable for those intolerant to ethanolic vehicles.
The conversation discusses using a violet ray device for hair regrowth, citing a case where zinc ion treatments showed promising results. It also mentions similar devices like the Growcombr and niostem helmet.
PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.
JXL082 is not the same as PP405, leading to a halt in sales and a plan to synthesize the real PP405. There is skepticism about the safety and effectiveness of JXL082 and PP405, with concerns about patent issues and the long-term impact on hair growth.
The conversation discusses sourcing pure latanoprost from the gray market for research and making a homemade solution. Concerns about potential dangers and experiences with this method are raised.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, Androgen Receptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
PP405 is a safer alternative to JXL069 for hair loss treatment because it penetrates the skin effectively and degrades in the blood, avoiding systemic toxicity. JXL069, when forced into the body, can cause dangerous side effects like lactic acidosis due to its inability to degrade safely.
The conversation discusses the delay in the PP405 Phase 2 study results, now expected by the end of 2025, and skepticism about research practices. There is also mention of optimism for Amplifica's AMP303 and a topical treatment in early testing.
