The user experienced reduced hair loss using an online serum but found it too expensive and is seeking a vendor for ptd-dbm. They are also interested in KY19382 but are unable to find it.
GHK-Cu peptide injections are discussed for hair growth, but users report mixed results and suggest focusing on DHT management first. Some users combine GHK-Cu with treatments like Minoxidil and Dutasteride, but emphasize its benefits for skin rather than hair.
Creatine use may lead to increased hair thinning, especially for those genetically prone to hair loss, prompting some users to stop its use. Topical finasteride is used to manage hair loss, but concerns remain about creatine's impact on hair density.
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Exosomes combined with fractional picosecond laser treatment were effective in treating androgenetic alopecia and promoting repigmentation in white hair patches. The role of exosomes in hair repigmentation, particularly in conditions like poliosis, is not well-studied.
Ketoconazole 2% shampoo effectively regrew hair by treating scalp dermatitis and inflammation. The user also used jojoba and oat oil, Aveeno moisturizer, and hyaluronic acid for scalp care.
The user used microneedling, zinc, vitamin D3, biotin, magnesium, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed oil, and a DHT-blocker shampoo with biotin for hair loss. They are considering adding minoxidil due to stagnation in progress.
Stopping creatine led to reduced hair loss for some, despite no proven link between creatine and hair loss. Users shared experiences, with some using minoxidil and finasteride to manage hair loss.
Copper peptides may help with hair thickness and health, but their effectiveness in reducing DHT is uncertain. Minoxidil is being used, but finasteride is not available due to legal restrictions; ketoconazole shampoo is recommended for managing Malassezia-related issues.
The conversation discusses the use of topical peptides ahk-cu and ghk-cu for hair loss. One user reported that while these peptides made their hair look thicker and improved scalp health, they did not notice significant hair growth.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment undergoing trials, with discussions on its effectiveness and comparison to existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. There is skepticism about its status as a cure, with hopes for future advancements in genetic treatments like CRISPR.
CHK-Cu (copper peptide) and C-60 (branched carbon chain) are discussed as potentially more effective than minoxidil for hair regrowth. Some users are skeptical about the claim that DHT isn't the root cause of hair loss, and others are trying these products to see if they work.
Clascoterone 5% shows potential for hair thickening and darkening, especially when combined with treatments like finasteride. It may be a good alternative for those who experience side effects from other treatments.
Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.
Creatine may cause hair loss in some individuals, especially those on finasteride, despite no scientific link. Personal experiences suggest individual sensitivity to DHT could be a factor.
High prolactin levels can cause hair loss, and finasteride may increase prolactin. Cabergoline or Vitamin B6 might lower prolactin, but combining them with finasteride requires caution.
PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hair follicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.
A new treatment, clascoterone 5% solution, shows significant improvement in male hair loss but is considered expensive and only slightly effective by some. It has no side effects and may influence market competition.
Clascoterone is suggested as an alternative for those who experience side effects from finasteride and dutasteride. It is not widely available yet, but some users are obtaining it from compounding pharmacies or suppliers like Echemi.
The user has been using finasteride for 30 years and recently added colostrum to their routine, noticing darker hair regrowth. They experienced shedding with minoxidil and advise against its use, while highlighting the benefits and side effects of long-term finasteride use.
Clascoterone's full trial results are expected by mid-July 2026, but skepticism exists about timely release. Clascoterone is available at 5% from some telehealth companies.
Clascoterone 5% solution shows strong potential for hair growth, offering a new treatment for alopecia with minimal side effects. It blocks androgen receptors locally and may be available by late 2026 or early 2027.
Creatine does not cause hair loss, and taking finasteride three times a week is more impactful for hair retention. Consistent use of treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and other hair care products is recommended for managing hair loss.
Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.
The conversation discusses creating a topical catalase solution with phosphate buffered saline, glycerin, and polysorbate 20 for hair loss treatment. The user seeks advice on preparing this solution.
Creatine is humorously blamed for hair loss, with users sharing exaggerated and satirical experiences. Some users report no hair loss with creatine, while others mention using treatments like minoxidil and finasteride to manage hair loss.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
Creatine may cause hair shedding in some individuals, but there is no strong scientific evidence linking it to hair loss. Many users report personal experiences of increased hair loss with creatine, while others see no effect; OP is considering creatine while using finasteride and topical minoxidil for hair loss.
