Extended-release oral minoxidil (VDPHL01) shows promising results for hair growth with improved safety, achieving significant hair count increases and minimal side effects compared to placebo. The treatment is designed to maintain effective concentrations while reducing side effects, making it a safer option for those who cannot tolerate standard minoxidil.
A user was recommended PRP and exosomes for hair loss and asked about combining them and places to get the treatment in the UK. Other users suggested starting with finasteride and minoxidil due to the high cost and variable success of PRP and exosomes.
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
The conversation discusses post-hair transplant care, specifically about removing scabs gently after a week, using Vitamin E oil. The user wonders if using harsher methods like steel wool would affect results, but others reassure that if there was no pain or bleeding, it's likely fine.
