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.
The conversation is about the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) caps for hair regrowth. One user suggests saving money, implying LLLT caps may not be beneficial.
The conversation discusses experimenting with microneedling for hair loss, specifically addressing non-responsiveness and the use of topical treatments like dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin. The user seeks advice on effective frequency and depth combinations for better results.
The conversation is about the interest in testing verteporfin, potentially with a dermaroller, for hair loss treatment. There is frustration over the lack of group buys for promising treatments compared to past efforts with less evidence.
A 51-year-old shared their hair recovery journey using finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling, noting significant improvement in hairline and temple areas. They emphasize consistency and patience, while another user suggests adding topical kx-826 and melatonin for additional benefits.
Minoxidil and finasteride have improved hair thickness and density, but temple areas remain stubborn. Continued use is recommended, with suggestions for topical minoxidil, microneedling, or considering a hair transplant for further improvement.
A 25-year-old who started losing hair at 16 and reached almost NW7 by 20 saw hair regrowth using a regimen including dutasteride, minoxidil, nizoral, and a dermaroller, along with supplements like biotin, zinc, and omega-3. After initial success, they experienced shedding, added more supplements and treatments, and sought advice on whether to continue; responses encouraged them to persist as shedding is often part of the hair regrowth cycle.
Exosomes are not effective for long-term hair regrowth, with users reporting temporary improvements or no noticeable change. Effective treatments include Dutasteride, Finasteride, Minoxidil, and RU58841, with other options like CB-03-01 and Fluridil offering limited benefits.
The conversation is about whether treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can make single hair follicles produce multiple hairs again. The user is curious if these medications can thicken hair and prolong the growth phase.
User achieved hair regrowth using 1 mg oral finasteride, topical minoxidil twice daily, and occasional microneedling. They are happy with the progress despite still having thin hair on top.
