5 / 5 resultscommunity I think we should all keep an eye out for Pelage PP405. February 2025 will be interesting.
Pelage PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in trials, potentially reactivating dormant hair follicles without affecting hormones. Results are expected in February 2025, offering an alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community Diagnosed with MPB at 16 (Male)
A 16-year-old diagnosed with male pattern baldness (MPB) was prescribed hair vitamins, vitamin D, a non-ketoconazole shampoo, and redenysl + serum, with a suggestion for GFC or IHRF treatments. Some users recommended minoxidil, ketoconazole, and derma stamping, while others advised against certain treatments until the age of 18.
community How is there still no consensus on Topical Dutasteride in 2024?
The conversation expresses frustration over the lack of clear evidence regarding the effectiveness and systemic impact of topical Dutasteride for hair loss treatment, despite years of discussion. People are criticized for not conducting proper research and for providing contradictory anecdotal claims.
community Got my Oleic fatty acid they used in Korean study. Fuck you mice!
Oleic acid and microneedling are being explored for hair regrowth, but results are mixed. Addressing DHT and fibrosis is crucial, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and scalp massage also discussed.
