Verteporfin is being explored for its potential to improve hair transplant outcomes by reducing scarring and increasing donor hair follicles. There is skepticism about the results, with some claiming misleading presentation of evidence.

The conversation discusses using very low dose topical finasteride to achieve specific serum DHT reduction percentages. It concludes that finasteride dosage increases linearly between 5-30% DHT reduction but requires exponential increases for reductions up to 70%.

The user convinced their trichologist to prescribe topical finasteride after using topical estradiol and progesterone for hair maintenance. They also discussed the potential impact of "nofap" on hair loss, noting that abstaining for about four months seemed to reduce shedding.

A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hair follicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.

PP405 cannot restore extracted hair follicles after a transplant as they are removed, not dormant. Combining verteporphin with wounding and PP405 is suggested but not confirmed effective.

A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.

Pelage Pharmaceuticals' PP405 aims to treat hair loss by reactivating dormant hair follicle stem cells, showing promising results in early trials. The company plans to present their findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2026.

Using a blunt tip syringe is an effective method for applying liquid topicals like minoxidil and RU58841, especially for those with thick or long hair experiencing diffuse thinning. The user found significant hair regrowth and increased density after using these topicals for less than three months.

User discusses topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, hoping to avoid breast growth side effect. Conversation includes using minoxidil, fluridil, and dermarolling, and mentions minimal systemic absorption of liposomal finasteride.

The user has been experiencing diffuse hair thinning despite using finasteride, minoxidil, dermarolling, clobetasol cream, and PRP sessions. They seek advice on additional treatments and are advised to check vitamin D, iron, and thyroid levels.

The conversation discusses a topical finasteride therapy with hydrocortisone butyrate, estrone base, and breviline. A user suggests oral finasteride as a superior option.

The user discusses using Follics FR5, FR10, and FR15, which combine Minoxidil, Adenosine, Procapil, Azelaic acid, and Procyanidin B2, to address hair loss. They have previously used Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride with varying success.

Topical finasteride in a liposomal formulation reduces systemic absorption compared to ethanol solutions. The user is seeking sources for such products, noting that popular options like morr-f are not liposomal.

The conversation is about using Verteporfin with microneedling as a potential hair loss treatment that may regenerate hair follicles with minimal scarring. There are concerns about the optimal dosage and the DHT sensitivity of the new follicles.

The user visited a trichologist due to ineffective topical finasteride treatment for hair loss. The trichologist recommended a new regimen including a two-month course of locoidon (cortisone 0.1%), followed by a solution containing minoxidil, hydrocortisone butirrate, estrone, progesterone, tocopherol acetate, trichosol, and transcutol.

Doctors are testing verteporfin topically for healing and potential regeneration after transplants. The user is asking how it is formulated for topical use, such as if it's mixed with a carrier gel.

HairClone is offering a Dermal Papilla Cell Hair Multiplication procedure in Guatemala, raising questions about its effectiveness and regulatory reasons for the location. Users express skepticism and curiosity about the treatment's success and potential costs.

Temporal peaks are crucial for a natural-looking hair transplant, but they are challenging to achieve due to the need for precise angles and appropriate hair thickness. Many users emphasize the importance of finding a skilled surgeon and using finasteride to maintain hairline stability.

A user is considering ordering topical finasteride with castor and rosemary oil from a Turkish pharmacy. They are debating whether to include the oils or use only PG and ethanol as the carrier.

Hair transplant recipients are concerned about whether dormant follicles are permanently damaged by incisions, but some believe undamaged follicles could still regrow if a treatment like PP405 is effective. Opinions vary on the impact of transplants on original follicles, with some suggesting treatments like finasteride can help regrow hair.

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.

Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.

Curved hair transplantation requires specialized tools and techniques to avoid damaging hair follicles, with modified FUE being the preferred method. Proper extraction and implantation angles are crucial to prevent complications like keloids and sterile folliculitis.

The post discusses a user's six-year progress with finasteride and a Follicular Unit Transplant (FUT) for hair loss. The user shared before and after photos in reverse order, leading to confusion, but overall, the community responded positively to the user's hair regrowth.

Follicusan DP is discussed as a potential alternative to Minoxidil without side effects, but information is scarce. It is noted to be of German origin and details on its mechanism are limited.

The conversation discusses hair transplants, including the use of techniques like FUE and the importance of a good donor area to avoid visible bald patches. It also touches on alternative treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Pyrolutimide, and debates the idea of embracing baldness versus seeking treatments.

Injections of follistatin and growth factors can improve hair growth. Specific treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
