A 21 year old male who has been using finasteride and minoxidil for 3 months to treat hair loss, and others sharing their experiences with the same treatments.
The user has been using minoxidil for over a year with little success, added tretinoin cream, and is considering adding red light therapy. They are advised to use moisturizer to counteract skin sensitivity from tretinoin.
The conversation discusses verteporfin as a potential treatment for hair regeneration, which could lead to unlimited hair transplants by healing the donor area. Some users are considering using verteporfin now, while others are hopeful it will be available for future hair transplants.
The conversation is about a user planning to undergo a hair transplant and seeking information on clinics that perform Verteporfin treatment. A user suggests Dr. Barghouthi might offer this service.
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.
Red light therapy for hair loss is controversial, with mixed results reported. Its effectiveness may depend on device quality and proper wavelength, and it is often used with minoxidil and finasteride.
The conversation discusses using topical Calcipotriol and Valproic Acid for hair loss, focusing on their mechanisms involving the VDR receptor and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
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.
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.
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.
A new human trial using an FDA-approved treatment for wound healing called Verteporfin, which may potentially be able to reverse scarring and regrow hair in that area. The trial is only lasting one month so far.
The post discusses a user's 2-month progress in treating hair loss using topical Du once a week, microneedling, and red light therapy. The user notes that red light therapy is primarily for face and body inflammation but also applies it to the scalp.
The user is considering adding low-level laser therapy (LLLT) to their hair loss treatment routine, which already includes minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. They are debating between purchasing a cheaper LLLT device or investing in a more expensive, clinically-backed option, with concerns about the effectiveness and specifications of cheaper models.
User discusses verteporfin for hair regrowth through "super microneedling" and preventing scarring. They mention a case of an old man regrowing hair after a head injury and suggest verteporfin could recreate this result.
Dermal incision with verteporfin is being explored as a potential hair loss treatment by dermatologist Melissa Toyos, with promising before-and-after photos shared on social media. The conversation discusses its potential effectiveness compared to other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
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 user switched from oral minoxidil to topical minoxidil and added JXL-069/PP405-3HP, along with topical dutasteride, melatonin, and tretinoin. They also use low-level laser therapy (LLLT) but doubt its effectiveness.
Red light therapy has shown promising results in hair regrowth for the user, who avoids minoxidil and finasteride due to side effects. The user follows a healthy lifestyle with diet, exercise, and sauna use, and will continue monitoring the therapy's effectiveness.
The user is using a hair recovery treatment with 0.5 mg dutasteride, 5 mg biotin, 5% topical minoxidil, and dermarolling twice a week. They are considering using a 1.5 mm dermaroller and red light therapy.
A user is exploring VEGF gene therapy to enhance hair transplant results, considering measuring hair shaft diameter and growth rate. Suggestions include using phototrichograms and possibly adding PRP, though its effectiveness is uncertain.
A discussion on the use of Verteporfin as a hair restoration treatment and whether there are any other doctors or clinics using it currently, aside from Dr. Barghouthi. Treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride and RU58841 were also mentioned.
The conversation discusses the use of Verteporfin in hair loss treatment. It suggests that Verteporfin could potentially regenerate hair follicles instead of forming scars, providing an unlimited donor supply for hair transplants.
Verteporfin is being explored for hair regeneration, with unofficial trials and updates shared online. Efforts are being made to encourage more surgeons to trial verteporfin for donor hair regeneration.
The user is asking for opinions on low level laser light therapy for hair growth and thickening. They have been using it for a year but haven't seen significant results, attributing any regrowth to topical minoxidil.
The conversation discusses concerns about the effectiveness of RU58841 due to high temperatures during delivery. A user reassures that the heat will not affect its efficacy.
Verteporfin treatment shows promise for hair regeneration and reducing scar tissue in hair transplants. Some users plan to try verteporfin with hair transplants, and it may also be combined with PRP in future experiments.
The conversation discusses affordable low-level light therapy (LLLT) products for hair loss, with users debating the effectiveness of red LEDs versus lasers. The original poster is already using finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, and microneedling, and is seeking budget-friendly LLLT options to add to their regimen.
