An 18-year-old is seeking advice on microneedling while using RU58841 for hair loss. Recommendations include using a derma pen with 0.5mm needles every two weeks and avoiding RU application for 24 hours post-microneedling to prevent absorption into the bloodstream.
The conversation discusses Verteporfin as a potential hair loss treatment, with trials by Dr. Bargouthi and Dr. Bloxham mentioned, and a suggestion to follow updates on the Hair Restoration Network site or YouTube. Preliminary results are positive, but one user is skeptical, calling it "snake oil."
PRP treatments have been effective for the user, with a new recommendation of using a high-quality plasma kit once a year. The user seeks experiences with this specific PRP approach.
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.
Microneedling before a hair transplant may harden the scalp and affect blood circulation, potentially impacting graft growth. Some users report successful transplants after microneedling, while others advise caution and consulting with a surgeon.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is discussed as a potential treatment for androgenic alopecia due to its ability to reverse hypoxia and promote angiogenesis. The conversation explores its potential benefits for hair loss, though no studies have been conducted on this application yet.
The conversation is about whether stemoxydine can shorten the dormant phase after a hair transplant, known as the ugly duckling phase. There is skepticism about whether it actually works as claimed.
The user is concerned about hair loss despite taking finasteride and has a hair transplant scheduled. They experience scalp itching and burning, which hasn't been relieved by various treatments, and another user suggests using ghk-cu & ahk-cu serum and Koshine kx-826/pyrilutamide for relief.
Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.
The conversation is about the best vehicle for RU58841, comparing trichosol and Garnier/Vichy Stemoxydine, avoiding propylene glycol (PG) or ethanol due to previous scalp damage. The user is also seeking sources for these products in the EU.
Dr. Toyos is recruiting more participants for a larger trial on hair loss treatments. The discussion mentions Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as potential treatments.
Finasteride users cannot donate blood due to potential risks to pregnant women, requiring a one-month cessation before donating. Dutasteride requires a six-month deferral, and topical applications are not restricted.
Research and science related to a minor improvement in hair growth caused by the use of verteporfin, as well as potential treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
A user on finasteride for 8 months shared bloodwork results showing increased testosterone and estradiol levels, with concerns about high LH. Responses advised monitoring for symptoms but noted levels are within reference ranges.
The conversation discusses the benefits of combining scalp stem cell treatments and exohealer with RF microneedling before a hair transplant. The original poster recommends these treatments for better results.
The conversation is about the potential risk of permanent hair loss from PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments and whether PRF (platelet rich fibrin) carries the same risk. The user is seeking information on this topic.
The user uses a 1.5mm derma stamp weekly for hair loss and applies minoxidil afterward, feeling a slight burn but no bleeding. They question if bleeding, seen in others using a derma pen, indicates proper technique.
The conversation discusses whether finasteride would still be necessary if Verteporfin becomes a successful hair loss treatment. It also explores the sensitivity of transplanted hair to DHT and the potential for off-label use of Verteporfin post hair transplant.
The experiences of users who have used RU58841 to treat hair loss, including both positive and negative effects. Some side effects reported include chest pain, joint pain in the hands, tinnitus, and increased heartbeat.
Sunburns on the scalp can cause permanent hair loss, especially for those using Tretinoin or Tacrolimus. Wearing UPF 50+ hats is recommended to protect against UV radiation.
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically asking for updates on verteporfin research following promising results. No specific treatments were discussed in the provided text.
The user experienced hair loss after chikungunya and started PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) injections with injectable Dutasteride, noticing new hair growth. They are hopeful for continued improvement.
A user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including I-PRF injections, mesotherapy, and a topical solution containing Minoxidil and Finasteride. After experiencing side effects, they decided to stop the medicinal treatments and focus on natural alternatives like I-PRF, microneedling, and essential oils.
