    TLDR New liposomal formulations may improve delivery of treatments to hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
    The document discusses the development of novel liposomal formulations aimed at improving the topical delivery of active agents directly to hair follicles and sebaceous glands, which could be beneficial for treating skin diseases like hair loss. The research focused on both small and large molecules, using minoxidil, a known hair growth stimulator, as the small molecule example, and plasmid DNA encoded with interleukin-1 receptor antagonist protein (IL-1ra) as the large molecule example. This suggests a shift in the scientific community towards recognizing follicular transport as a viable pathway for the delivery of topical treatments.

      Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is debated for hair regrowth, with some users suggesting it should be combined with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride for effectiveness. Many users express skepticism about LLLT's efficacy and cost, emphasizing the need for the correct wavelength and quality devices.

      Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of finasteride, microneedling and potentially oral minoxidil. People discussed their experiences with finasteride, its effects on sexual behaviors, as well as potential solutions such as tadalafil or using other growth factor signal peptides for hope in curing male pattern baldness.
