They recently discovered their biological father is bald, causing additional stress, but are encouraged by others to focus on their treatment success and seek professional help for their mental health.

community South Korea is debating whether hair loss should be covered by public healthcare. That alone says a lot about how we still misunderstand hair loss.

67 upvotes 8 months ago

South Korea is debating whether hair loss treatments should be covered by public healthcare, highlighting the issue's impact on mental health and social functioning. The discussion centers on whether hair loss should be classified as a medical condition rather than a cosmetic issue, considering its psychological effects and the biological processes involved.

community Modifiability of the aging process

17 upvotes 4 months ago

Hair loss is largely influenced by genetics, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 being used to manage it. Despite healthy lifestyles, hair loss can still occur, highlighting the complex relationship between genetics, health, and aging.

community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

in Research/Science 45 upvotes 10 months ago

The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.

7 upvotes 5 months ago

AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.
