Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hair follicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.
Melatonin's effect on aromatase expression is unclear, with studies showing both increases and decreases. Hormonal impacts are complex and inconsistent, similar to changing health advice on other substances.
The conversation discusses a new model for understanding androgenetic alopecia (AGA), linking it to dietary and lifestyle factors similar to PCOS, and highlighting the role of DHT, vascular damage, and inflammation. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation is about a transgender individual's experience with hair regrowth using topical minoxidil and hormone replacement therapy (HRT), expressing concern about the slow growth and thin appearance of their hair. Some responses encourage patience and highlight the variability of results, while others discuss the role of HRT and its effects.
Balancing hormones, particularly testosterone and DHT, may prevent hair loss and slow aging. Treatments include finasteride, dutasteride, zinc, magnesium, collagen, and natural DHT-blocking shampoos.
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
The conversation discusses how Caucasian men are more likely to experience hair loss due to genetic predisposition, with factors like the androgen receptor on the X chromosome playing a significant role. The user also expresses confusion about the evolutionary reasons for hair loss, especially in colder climates where it would seem beneficial to retain hair for warmth.
The brain resists updating its perception of gradual appearance changes, like hair loss, due to its preference for stability and reliance on an internal model. This delay in perception can make changes feel sudden once the brain finally updates its model.
The conversation discusses using oral Minoxidil, a vasodilator, for both Raynaud's Syndrome and hair loss. It also inquires about other hair loss treatments that improve blood flow.
Phase II for TDM-105795 for Androgenic Alopecia is set to begin in April 2023. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TDM-105795 in male subjects.
Hypoxia may enhance hair growth by stimulating stem cells, but it could also risk fibrosis. Some users humorously discuss extreme methods like choking while using minoxidil, highlighting the need for new treatments.
The method combines finasteride, minoxidil, intense leg exercises, and cold exposure to treat androgenetic alopecia. It aims to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, enhancing hair growth.
Peppermint oil may promote hair regrowth by decreasing scalp testosterone and DHT levels. Other herbs in the Mint family, like spearmint and rosemary, might also reduce testosterone.
Store minoxidil and minoxidil+finasteride solutions in a cool environment, ideally below 25°C, to maintain effectiveness. Consider using a wine cellar or fridge for stable, low temperatures.
The conversation discusses the idea of naturally lowering testosterone levels to potentially reduce DHT and help with hair loss, though it is speculative and not tested by the original poster. Participants suggest using treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, or RU58841 instead, as they directly target DHT without reducing testosterone.
The conversation discusses hair loss linked to BDNF-increasing nootropics like Semax and Lions Mane. Suggested topical treatments include capsaicin, beta-glucan, and ginseng to counteract TGF-B activation.
The conversation discusses unconventional methods for hair regrowth, including scalp trauma like burning or microneedling, and compares them to treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride. It highlights skepticism about these methods and the body's unpredictable healing responses.
The conversation discusses doubts about the effectiveness of topical finasteride for hair loss, suggesting that DHT could be produced elsewhere in the body and affect the scalp. It proposes that androgen receptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.
Adipose fat cells and stem cells may help treat hair loss by restoring the scalp's thickness. Treatments like NanoFat injections and Botox are discussed for their potential to promote hair growth.
Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hair follicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
Exploring different treatments for hair loss, such as cosmeRNA and HMI-115 which are small interference messenger RNA that inhibits the DHT receptor and an antibody that binds to the prolactin (PRL) receptor respectively; and researching mechanism and environment of hyperresponders.
Exploring the idea of transplanting miniaturized hair follicles to healthier areas to potentially reverse hair loss, with concerns about DHT sensitivity and scar tissue formation. The conversation also humorously considers using mice for hair growth experiments.
Topical melatonin may help reduce hair loss and increase hair thickness in people with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with some studies showing positive results. It can be mixed with minoxidil for application, and its effectiveness might be enhanced when used with micro-needling, but results may vary among individuals.
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
Rhamnose may promote hair growth and pigmentation, suggesting it as a potential hair loss treatment. The conversation discusses its potential alongside known treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
A trans woman is curious about the impact of HRT on hair regrowth and scalp tension. Her current regimen includes finasteride, spironolactone, estradiol, ketoconazole, vitamin D, iron, and plans to add oral minoxidil and restart derma rolling.
Switching from oral to topical minoxidil due to increased heart rate. The user seeks advice on maintaining their hair treatment while managing heart rate concerns.
