The user is treating hairloss with topical Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, microneedling, and Ketoconazole. For grey hair, they use L-Cysteine, L-Methionine, and PABA, and have noticed some re-pigmentation.
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hairloss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hairloss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.
User balding1337 shared their hairloss treatment success using Finasteride 1mg/day, Minoxidil 5% 2x/day, microneedling at 1.5mm, and Biotin+Multivitamins. Another user mentioned that microneedling with minoxidil is 3-4x more effective than minoxidil alone.
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hairloss as it blocks more of the enzyme causing hairloss. New treatments like stem cell therapies and alternatives to minoxidil are being explored, but major advancements are still years away.
Scientists at UCLA have developed a promising treatment for male pattern baldness using a molecule called PP405, which can potentially stimulate dormant hair follicles. Initial trials showed significant results within a week, but larger clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
