The post and conversation discuss Verteporfin's potential as a hair loss treatment. It's shown promise in regrowing hair after transplants and might be effective with microneedling.
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.
Hair loss discussion includes broccoli sprouts treatment, Fluridil 7%, and sulforaphane, with mixed results. Finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are preferred by some users.
The user experienced hair regrowth using dutasteride daily, microneedling weekly, and Nizoral shampoo, after stopping minoxidil due to side effects. They also use a mix of pumpkin seed, rosemary, and peppermint oil, and are considering RU58841 for more temple area thickness.
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 stemcell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.
Microneedling may help regrow hair in dormant bald regions by stimulating stemcell transfer. Users discuss its effectiveness and how collagen might aid in the process.
Hair loss treatments discussed include promising Pyr available online and Verteporfin dosing after FUE for follicle regeneration, but no updates on SCUBE3.
Scientists have successfully grown functional hair follicles in the lab, marking a significant advancement in hair regeneration research. A user shared their personal experience with hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil and Finasteride, and plans to share a detailed protocol for hair restoration.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stemcells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.
The conversation discusses various hair growth treatments, including topical and oral minoxidil, microneedling, LLLT, PRP, exosomes, latanoprost, copper peptides, and upcoming treatments like PP405 and Vdphl01. It also covers managing side effects of minoxidil, such as dry scalp, and mentions the use of dutasteride and finasteride for hair loss.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals' PP405 aims to treat hair loss by reactivating dormant hair follicle stemcells, showing promising results in early trials. The company plans to present their findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2026.
Verteporfin may improve hair transplant outcomes and reduce scarring, potentially allowing patients to avoid finasteride. Dr. Barghouthi seeks collaborations, volunteers, and financial support for research on verteporfin.org.
New hair loss treatments like PP-405, AMP-303, and SCUBE3 are being discussed, but none are confirmed to fully restore hairlines. Current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 are still widely used, with some hope for future advancements in hair regrowth.
A user shared their experience with DIY PRP scalp injections for hair regrowth, using an EZ Injector and other at-home equipment. Another user reported success with at-home PRP treatments for 1.5 years, noting thicker hair and a stable hairline.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a promising treatment for male pattern baldness using a molecule called PP405, which can potentially stimulate dormant hair follicles. Initial trials showed significant results within a week, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
BPC-157 may promote hair growth by increasing angiogenesis, similar to how Minoxidil works, though no direct research confirms this yet. Users report combining BPC-157 with Minoxidil and finasteride for better results, but concerns about long-term safety exist.
The conversation discusses a hair loss treatment regimen that includes scalp massage, derma rolling, saw palmetto, rosemary, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed oil, and various supplements like vitamins C and D, multivitamins, biotin, collagen, and fish oil. The user is asking if the treatment has led to hair regrowth.
The user shared their hair regrowth progress using a regimen including omega-3, flaxseed, EGCG, green tea, zinc, copper, probiotics, microneedling, topical finasteride, and minoxidil. Other users expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of the regimen, suggesting more proven treatments or considering a hair transplant.
The user achieved noticeable hair regrowth after 5 months by using a 1.5mm dermaroller weekly and applying rosemary oil multiple times a week. They recommend this natural treatment for those experiencing mild hair thinning.
A user reported using a 1mm derma stamp, rosemary oil, and pumpkin seed oil for 2 months and noticed baby hair growth where there was none before. They are questioning if this is real growth or just miniaturized hair.
Hypoxia may enhance hair growth by stimulating stemcells, but it could also risk fibrosis. Some users humorously discuss extreme methods like choking while using minoxidil, highlighting the need for new treatments.
The conversation discusses using essential oils like rosemary, peppermint, pumpkin seed, jojoba, and possibly saw palmetto for hair regrowth. It invites users to share their mixes and routines for these treatments.
A hair transplant experienced by FC Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who reportedly saw improved confidence and performance following the procedure. People discussed finasteride as an alternative treatment option for those unable to afford a transplant.
The potential of using Verteporfin to prevent hair loss scars and possible regrowth, with two doctors currently testing it, although the price of a 15mg bottle is expensive.
The conversation discusses the use of autologous exosomes for hair loss, questioning their effectiveness and seeking real user experiences. The user is skeptical about the treatment's legitimacy and is looking for honest feedback on its results.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
PP405 is being discussed as a potential new approach to hair loss by targeting follicle stemcells, suggesting a different mechanism from existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, there is skepticism about whether it will lead to meaningful long-term outcomes or follow the pattern of previous treatments that showed promise but lacked consistent results.
