A new painless microneedle patch shows promise in reversing hair loss. The discussion focuses on potential new treatments beyond common options like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
People are not using RU58841 for hair loss because it's not FDA approved, lacks long-term safety data, and is difficult to obtain and verify. They prefer FDA-approved treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, ketoconazole shampoo, and microneedling.
Microneedling with minoxidil significantly boosts hair growth, even for non-responders to minoxidil alone. The routine includes a 1.5mm dermaroller weekly and minoxidil twice daily, with some users adding finasteride and tretinoin.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and production of GT20029, a drug being developed as a topical androgen receptor degrader for hair loss, and whether it can fully degrade androgen receptors or only partially. It also discusses the drug's potential unique working mechanism and synthesis by a company called Anagen.
The conversation is about a hair care routine focused on microneedling and using DHI Hair Serum for temple hairline regrowth, without using minoxidil or finasteride. The user seeks advice on the best derma pen in India and feedback on their routine.
The user has been using 1mg Finasteride and 5% topical Minoxidil for 9 months with little improvement and has recently added microneedling, showing slight progress. The new protocol includes switching to 5mg oral Minoxidil, continuing microneedling, and adding Anagenil Complex, while seeking advice on whether to stop topical Minoxidil and the effectiveness of Anagenil Complex.
The conversation discusses the lack of updates on GT20029 for hair loss treatment, with some users noting recent reports indicating ongoing data collection. There are mentions of other treatments like Pyrilutamide and Minoxidil.
