Hair loss treatments, specifically, discussing the effectiveness and side effects of finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 in various microdoses. It also includes an updated graph which provides information on how different doses affect DHT levels, scalp skin and serum androgen levels, as well as hair count.
The user discusses their experience with diffuse unpatterned alopecia and acquired progressive hair kinkering, noting improvements with treatments including biotin, pantothenic acid, finasteride, ketoconazole, and zinc pyrithione shampoo. They report thicker, healthier hair and improved scalp condition, attributing success mainly to biotin, pantothenic acid, and finasteride.
Concerns about the long-term effects of dutasteride and finasteride on fertility, with discussions on cycling these medications to mitigate risks. The conversation highlights skepticism about study methodologies and the importance of weighing treatment risks against potential fertility issues.
SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.
A user bought questionable RU58841 powder from AliExpress and seeks a way to test its composition in Europe. Another user suggests using Janoshik for testing.
Scalp tension potentially affecting hair loss, and potential treatments for male pattern baldness such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841. Evidence from a study was discussed which suggests that the cause of MPB lies within the follicle itself and is not dependent on its surrounding environment.
The user tried a product labeled as PP405 from Umbrella Labs for hair loss but saw no changes, and it was revealed to be a fake or misidentified product. The user is also using finasteride, minoxidil, and other treatments but is still experiencing hairline issues.
Creatine monohydrate's potential link to hair loss, with mixed opinions on its effects. Treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed.
DUPA and retrograde alopecia may not be solely DHT-based, and a biopsy is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, oral minoxidil, pioglitazone, clobetasol, calcipotriol, ketoconazole, and doxycycline, depending on the specific condition.
The user is experiencing diffuse thinning and inflammation despite using 2.5mg dutasteride daily, ciclopirox, and ketoconazole shampoos. They are considering treatments like hydroxychloroquine and JAK inhibitors due to suspected scarring alopecia and have faced challenges in obtaining a scalp biopsy.
Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.
Combining microneedling with Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) for hair growth, with discussions on device legitimacy and effectiveness. Alternatives like PEMF and the use of oral and topical treatments such as dutasteride, minoxidil, and finasteride are also considered.
The conversation discusses a person successfully using a combination of Minoxidil, finasteride, and other treatments for hair loss, resulting in significantly improved hair. Despite some criticism, many admire his dedication to health and anti-aging research.
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
MCL-1 protein may help maintain hair follicles in the growth phase and prevent miniaturization. There is interest in experimental treatments like exosomes, peptides, or stem cell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.
The user has been using finasteride for over two years with mixed results and is considering starting dutasteride and oral minoxidil, though both are hard to obtain. They are also contemplating a hair transplant in the future due to diffuse thinning.
High cost of studying 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in hair loss led to suggestions of crowdfunding for research. Users discussed using Procyanidin B2/melatonin topical treatment and tracking funds with blockchain.
A dental technician claims malocclusion causes pattern hair loss due to poor scalp circulation. Users debate this, noting treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and microneedling focus on DHT and blood flow.
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgen receptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
