The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions ongoing human trials for hair multiplication/cloning at Yokohama National University, with skepticism about the timeline.
Dutasteride may affect testosterone levels, leading to high ferritin and iron levels, which can cause hair loss. High ferritin might be linked to past heavy drinking or hemochromatosis.
Theo Von discussed undergoing a hair transplant and is reportedly using finasteride. Joe Rogan also had hair transplants but faced challenges due to thin donor areas and not using finasteride.
The conversation discusses the potential effectiveness and risks of using topical finasteride for hair loss, with considerations about using DMSO as a vehicle for application. Concerns are raised about DMSO's safety, absorption issues, and the systemic effects of topical finasteride.
Clascoterone 5% solution (Breezula) is a promising alternative for androgenetic alopecia, showing continued hair growth with consistent use and no significant side effects. It may be suitable for those who cannot tolerate finasteride or dutasteride, especially when trying to conceive.
A user's experience taking finasteride, which resulted in them having an unexpected emotional reaction, and the replies to this post focus on the humorous aspects of cautionary tales about hair loss treatments.

Quercetin might help with hair loss by inhibiting HSP-70, which increases androgen receptors. Concerns include its staining properties and unclear topical absorption.
Clascoterone has shown promising results in increasing hair density without systemic side effects, potentially offering benefits similar to finasteride. There is skepticism due to the lack of published photos despite the market interest.
Finasteride and dutasteride may not significantly impact meibomian gland function since these glands do not rely on DHT. Some users report dry eyes and other side effects from finasteride, but these may be influenced by other factors or medications.
The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
Osteopontin, a protein involved in hair growth on moles, may help with hair loss. However, it is also linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, and bone development, so caution is advised.
The user reports progress in hair regrowth using finasteride every other day, topical minoxidil once daily, ketoconazole twice a week, and Vitamin D3 with zinc. They note improvement in temple areas and the appearance of baby hairs.
Hair follicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.
Breezula (clascoterone) initially performed better than finasteride for hair loss but then effectiveness decreased almost back to baseline after 6 months, raising questions about its strength.
The user experienced anxiety and side effects from topical finasteride and is considering switching to saw palmetto. Another user reported no improvement with saw palmetto and experienced liver issues.
Minoxidil is highly toxic to cats and dogs, even in small amounts. Users suggest switching to oral minoxidil or taking precautions to prevent pet exposure.

A user on finasteride for 7+ months shared bloodwork results, questioning if high DHT levels and testosterone could affect cholesterol. Replies suggest consulting a doctor and question the high testosterone levels.
A user is interested in Absci's AI-driven antibody platform, ABS-201, for treating androgenetic alopecia, which shows promising preclinical results and potential for hair regrowth and pigmentation restoration. However, concerns are raised about the drug's development timeline and its advantages compared to existing treatments.
The user is experiencing hair loss despite using estradiol, bicalutamide, dutasteride, and topical minoxidil. They stopped minoxidil temporarily, which worsened their condition, and are considering oral minoxidil but are concerned about side effects and cost.
Breezula's effectiveness may depend on the vehicle used for its application, with concerns about the grey market version's formulation. Phase 3 results are promising, but skepticism remains about the grey market product's authenticity and effectiveness.
Longitudinal partial follicular unit transplantation involves extracting part of the donor follicular unit, allowing the donor area to be overharvested without noticeable hair loss. The conversation questions if this method is practiced in clinics or if it's theoretical, and whether it relates to hair cloning or multiplication.
Scientists discovered a potential baldness treatment from hairy moles, which can be injected like Botox. Users discussed the treatment's implications, including its safety and effectiveness.
