5 / 5 resultscommunity Dr. Bloxham Verteporfin Update #5
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, specifically Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. It also mentions an update on Dr. Bloxham's Verteporfin treatment.
community Random thought that I don't think I have seen here yet. If Verteporfin is able to stop scar formation successfully in humans to a large degree (assuming future studies show this), wouldn't this basically open up the door for it being a no brainer for strong NW2s and 3s to opt for hairline lowering?
The conversation discusses the potential for Verteporfin to reduce scarring, making hairline lowering surgeries more viable for men with mild hair loss. The user suggests that if scarring can be minimized, men might opt for hairline lowering instead of using grafts for other areas.
community 2250 graft transplant 1.5 month ago.
A user had a 2250 graft hair transplant using both FUT and FUE methods, and is currently using finasteride, minoxidil, multivitamins, and biotin. Opinions vary on the effectiveness and appearance of the procedure, with some suggesting additional treatments or considering alternative options like shaving or using a hair system.
community (Serious) Updates and discussion, new treatments in development
Finasteride, minoxidil, and derma rolling are currently the best treatments for hair loss. New treatments like TDM-105795, GT20029, PP405, HMI 115, Tsuji, Scube 3, RU, JW0061, Topilutamide, and verteporfin show promise but have uncertain timelines.
community So we have 20k dollars human like machines available but no new effective treatment for hairloss since finasteride :)
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
