The user is discussing hair regrowth after 3.5 months of using finasteride, questioning if the new growth is baby hairs. They compare photos from December to the present to assess progress.
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.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hairfollicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hairfollicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
Treatments for hair loss, such as using AR receptor blockers and degraders, to see if follicles can regenerate in the long term. The conversation also discusses how hair transplants could be a potential solution.
Hair loss discussion with a focus on a single resilient hair, jokingly called "chad hair," that remains despite hairline receding. Some users suggest microneedling and hairfollicle cloning as potential treatments.
A human trial involving verteporfin for hair regeneration, with the results showing some regrowth of 1-2 hairs in an area where a follicular unit was extracted. The conversation also suggested that future studies should involve higher doses and more frequent injections.
User noticed tiny black hairs on temples after using rosemary oil along with finasteride, minoxidil, and 0.5mm derma roller. They are curious if these hairs will become terminal.
PP405 is seen as a potential breakthrough for converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs, with users expressing both hope and skepticism. It is compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with discussions on side effects and marketing concerns.
A user shared their experience with scalp micropigmentation (SMP) after one year. They discussed using Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 as treatments for hair loss.
Hair loss treatments, including PP405, minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with hopes for future solutions. Participants discuss the emotional impact of hair loss and consider alternatives like hair transplants or acceptance.
A peptide-based hair loss treatment, PP405, reportedly increased hair density by 62% in 90 days, but these claims are unverified and met with skepticism. Users compared PP405 to Minoxidil and Finasteride, expressing doubts about its effectiveness without more evidence.
The user is experiencing excessive hair thinning and is unsure of the cause. They are seeking opinions on treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Minoxidil was applied to a single miniaturized hairfollicle over four months, resulting in less miniaturization but not yet terminal growth. The user used a 5% minoxidil solution, specifically the Regaine brand, and observed changes using a handheld WiFi microscope.
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
The conversation discusses hair regrowth using dissolvable microneedles loaded with rapamycin and epigallocatechin gallate nanoparticles. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hairfollicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
The user noticed tiny black hairs after using 5% topical minoxidil for 1.5 months and is unsure if it's due to the treatment. Another user suggests continuing minoxidil for at least 6 months and mentions that combining it with tretinoin and finasteride may improve results.
Follicum discovered that their drug FOL-005 increased hair count by 12 hairs per cm2 in patients with less than 255 hairs per cm2 and is planning a phase 2b trial. They are currently fundraising for the trial, and the drug may also be effective for women.
PP405 is viewed skeptically, with some seeing it as overhyped and potentially ineffective compared to existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. While it shows some promise in activating dormant hairfollicles, many believe it won't replace hair transplants or significantly outperform current options.
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
The conversation discusses a small patch of missing hair and whether treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841 could help. The user is seeking advice on addressing this specific hair issue.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, mentioning minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, VDPHL, GT20029, and follicle cloning as potential solutions. It also reveals that the discussion about PP405 was an April Fool's joke.
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
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.
A potential treatment for alopecia involving a protein that calms hairfollicles has shown promise in rats, but skepticism remains about its applicability to humans. Many users express doubt about the timeline for effective hair loss treatments, comparing it to past unfulfilled promises.
Users discussed hair loss treatments, specifically 0.1% latanoprost with melatonin, caffeine, and biotin. Other treatments mentioned include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, and microneedling.
