Balding seems to worsen with each generation, possibly due to stress, diet, and environmental factors. The user started treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
The user is treating hair loss with 1mg finasteride every other day, daily topical minoxidil, and weekly derma rolling, and is considering using hair fibers for special occasions.

The conversation discusses RU58841, a compound for hair loss treatment, which was found to be effective in a 6-month trial but was not pursued due to financial issues or marketability concerns, not safety. Some users are considering crowdfunding to release the research data, while others discuss personal experiences and safety concerns with RU58841.
A 26 year old female dealing with hair loss who is considering treatments such as Spiro, minoxidil and finasteride. Other potential solutions mentioned are PRP treatment, a wig, and bio-identical estrogen combined with bica.
A 35-year-old transitioning female (MtF) shared her hair regrowth journey using Minoxidil, Dutasteride, Microneedling, and Exosomes, starting from a bald state. Commenters discussed the impressive results, skin care routine, and the effects of estrogen on hair and skin.
The conversation discusses topical androgenreceptor blockers for hair loss, mentioning Clascoterone, Pyrilutamide, GT20029, and RU58841. Ketoconazole's effectiveness and application methods are also debated.
RU and Pyri block androgenreceptors to prevent hair loss but may also hinder hair regrowth since they prevent testosterone, which can stimulate hair growth, from binding to these receptors. The user is questioning if this understanding is correct.
Fluridil may decrease the number of androgenreceptors in hair follicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
The efficacy of degrading the androgenreceptor through dermal application in DP cells, a delivery system for topical drugs that involves dissolving microneedles, and rosemary oil as an alternative anti-androgen.
The conversation discusses GT20029, a new topical drug for hair loss and acne without notable side effects, which has been accepted for investigational use in China. Some users express skepticism about the legitimacy of the company and the potential for other drugs like RU58841 to be developed due to patent expiration and lack of profitability.
Researching and developing an effective local antagonist to block the androgenreceptors for hair loss, as opposed to using DHT synthesis inhibitors that lower serum DHT levels. Several treatments such as CosmeRNA and Pyrilutamide are currently in development or undergoing trials.
The relative strength of Pyrilutamide compared to RU58841 in terms of androgenreceptor binding affinity. It has been noted that Pyrilutamide is 4x stronger than RU58841, with a higher binding affinity than DHT itself.
The post is about whether there is any additional benefit to using alfatradiol or other estrogen treatments for hair loss if someone is already using finasteride, dutasteride, or an androgenreceptor inhibitor like RU58841, pyrithione zinc, or fluridil.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgenreceptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.
GT20029 and CosmeRNA are both potential hair loss treatments; GT20029 breaks down the androgenreceptor, while CosmeRNA prevents its production. Continuous use is needed, but less frequently than current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and production of GT20029, a drug being developed as a topical androgenreceptor degrader for hair loss, and whether it can fully degrade androgenreceptors or only partially. It also discusses the drug's potential unique working mechanism and synthesis by a company called Anagen.
The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgenreceptor degrader, showed significant hair growth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal. The company plans to initiate Phase III trials in China and Phase II in the U.S., and the treatment also shows promise for acne.
Hopeful treatments for hair loss, including Verteporfin, AndrogenReceptor Degradation, and SCUBE3. These treatments offer potential solutions to slow or stop the effects of androgens on the scalp.
A user is experiencing continued hair loss despite using 0.5mg dutasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil, and is seeking advice on why the treatments aren't working and how to address potential androgenreceptor sensitivity. Replies suggest getting tested and considering scalp micropigmentation (SMP).
The conversation discusses doubts about the effectiveness of topical finasteride for hair loss, suggesting that DHT could be produced elsewhere in the body and affect the scalp. It proposes that androgenreceptor antagonists like spironolactone and clascoterone might be more effective as they could prevent this potential bypass mechanism.
Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgenreceptor antagonist.
Pyrilutamide, a potential hair loss treatment that is currently in development and may be available soon; an androgenreceptor degrader which is also being developed as a potential treatment for hair loss; and the comparison between Pyrilutamide, finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.
Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgenreceptors in the scalp.
Pyrilutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug under development for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia. The conversation discusses its binding affinity to the androgenreceptor and the timeline for possible availability after trials are completed in the United States and China.
The conversation discusses the removal of Breezula phase II 12-month results by Cassiopea and the search for the original data. Concerns were raised about potential negative long-term effects on hair growth, such as androgenreceptor upregulation.
The user is seeking advice on improving their hair loss treatment regimen, considering changes to their topical solution, and is curious about others' daily routines and recommendations for medications and supplements. They are contemplating switching Tretinoin for Tazarotene, Latanoprost for Bimatoprost, and possibly adding Alfatradiol, Topical Melatonin, or a topical androgenreceptor antagonist.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of anti-androgens for hair loss, with a preference for topical treatments like RU58841 over oral options due to better scalp concentration and fewer side effects. Topical finasteride at 0.1% may provide some results, especially when combined with a topical androgenreceptor antagonist like RU58841.
