5 / 1000+ resultscommunity We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
community Dear tressless, i have a question for you.
Minoxidil and finasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about minoxidil's heart-related side effects. New treatments like PP405 are met with skepticism, often humorously noted as always being "five years away."
community 12 mo 1 ml daily Min/Dermaroller 1mm-1.5mm update + AGA progression theory and specific order of treatment
A user shared their year-long hair loss treatment using minoxidil, microneedling, and scalp massages, reporting moderate hair growth and stabilization. They suggest starting early with less harmful methods and consider adding finasteride or dutasteride if needed.
community P-1075: a BETTER version of Minoxidil
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
community Is it sufficient to block scalp DHT topically, or is it also necessary to reduce serum DHT? (My Question is Elaborated Below)
Topical finasteride can be as effective as oral finasteride for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects, but precise dosing is essential. Combining oral dutasteride with topical finasteride is not recommended due to dutasteride's stronger inhibition.
