5 / 1000+ resultscommunity One year on finasteride has reversed some aging
Finasteride and minoxidil use resulted in a more youthful appearance and improved skin. There is debate about their effects on collagen and skin aging, with no solid evidence supporting significant changes due to finasteride.
community 4.5 months on 1mg fin/6%min/2.5mg biotin hybrid progress
A 25-year-old male experienced hair regrowth after 4.5 months using a chewable treatment with 1mg finasteride, 6% minoxidil, and 2.5mg biotin, despite initial shedding and acne from accutane. Opinions on progress vary, with some noticing thicker hair and others seeing no difference or thinning.
community Topical Minoxidil is a pain in the ass for diffuse thinners
Topical minoxidil being a difficult product to apply, with users considering finasteride, RU58841, and oral minoxidil as alternative treatments for diffuse thinning hair. Other advice includes shaving the head in the first 3 months of using minoxidil and finding ways to apply it without saturating the hair.
community Realistically, how much PP405 will cost?
PP405 is in phase 2 trials for hair loss, with discussions on its cost and effectiveness compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Users are skeptical about its efficacy and timeline, with hopes for market release by 2027.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
