community Does DHT Cause Complete Baldness?

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 11 months ago

Hair cloning technology is advancing, with clinical trials for improved methods expected by 2028 and 2029, potentially offering a solution for hair loss if donor follicles remain. Organtech's expansion into other biotech areas may secure funding, but the effectiveness of cloning depends on the availability of androgen-resistant donor follicles.

community Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy

in Research/Science 15 upvotes 4 months ago

A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.

community Exploring all options - Scalp tension theory

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the scalp tension theory as a potential factor in hair loss, alongside DHT, inflammation, and other mechanisms. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, and botox injections, with some users exploring additional methods due to varying effectiveness.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

in Technology 112 upvotes 1 year ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.

community Comprehensive Microneedling Guide

in Microneedling 293 upvotes 3 years ago

Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
