RT1640, a combination of cyclosporin A, minoxidil, and RT175, is discussed as a potential treatment for hair regrowth and repigmentation. The unique formulation aims to enhance hair follicle growth and restore hair pigment without the negative side effects of immunosuppressants.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
DHT causes hair loss by driving cells into senescence, and a polyphenol in black chokeberry may reverse this. A product using this theory is being considered for use alongside finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling.
New hair loss treatments like PP-405, AMP-303, and SCUBE3 are being discussed, but none are confirmed to fully restore hairlines. Current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 are still widely used, with some hope for future advancements in hair regrowth.
Considering alternative treatments to hair loss, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and exosome therapy, instead of using medications like minoxidil, finasteride/dutasteride.
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.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals' PP405 aims to treat hair loss by reactivating dormant hair follicle stemcells, showing promising results in early trials. The company plans to present their findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2026.
The conversation is about experimenting with topical exosomes for hair loss treatment, alongside microneedling, Happy Head's gel-like topical, and Ordinary's hair serum. The user also mentions the availability of treatments like latanoprost and Redensyl.
A user shared their experience with DIY PRP scalp injections for hair regrowth, using an EZ Injector and other at-home equipment. Another user reported success with at-home PRP treatments for 1.5 years, noting thicker hair and a stable hairline.
The potential hair regrowth benefits of ASC-J9, a synthetic modified version of curcumin that is said to be more effective than Minoxidil and Finasteride. Reports from users suggest good thickening and temple regrowth with topical use at 0.025% concentration.
The conversation discusses the use of autologous exosomes for hair loss, questioning their effectiveness and seeking real user experiences. The user is skeptical about the treatment's legitimacy and is looking for honest feedback on its results.
User started minoxidil, noticed forehead lines and dark circles, and asked for non-invasive skin aging prevention methods. Another user suggested using tretinoin and hyaluronic acid for long-term benefits.
The user stabilized hair loss with oral finasteride, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil, and underwent a stemcell and PRP procedure. Recent increased hair shedding may be due to restarting dermarolling, affecting minoxidil absorption, or the waning effects of the stemcell treatment.
Hypoxia may enhance hair growth by stimulating stemcells, but it could also risk fibrosis. Some users humorously discuss extreme methods like choking while using minoxidil, highlighting the need for new treatments.
PP405 is being discussed as a potential new approach to hair loss by targeting follicle stemcells, suggesting a different mechanism from existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, there is skepticism about whether it will lead to meaningful long-term outcomes or follow the pattern of previous treatments that showed promise but lacked consistent results.
A 23-year-old male has been experiencing hair loss since 2022 and has used minoxidil and dutasteride with reduced shedding but no hair regrowth. He is considering PRP with mesotherapy and red light therapy, GFC, or exosomes, with a preference for exosomes due to efficiency and a reputable clinic.
A 39-year-old experienced hair regrowth on his temples after switching from finasteride to topical RU58841 combined with 5% minoxidil. He also underwent stemcell treatment and noticed improvements, attributing the regrowth mainly to the change in treatment.
