Caffeine intake may increase DHT levels, but its impact on hair loss is minimal compared to genetic factors. Excessive caffeine can cause health issues, and its effects on hair loss are not directly applicable to humans based on rat studies.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
Minoxidil may cause skin aging effects like wrinkles and dark circles, but evidence is mixed. Alternatives like dermarolling and retinol are suggested.
The potential of verteporfin to heal wounds without scarring; however, despite its promising preclinical trials and coverage from a major media outlet, there is still no official clinical trial result and the drug has only garnered attention from hair loss communities.
Finasteride may seem less effective over time due to increased DHT sensitivity or aging, but it still suppresses DHT. Switching to dutasteride offers stronger DHT suppression but may increase estrogen levels.
The conversation discusses using finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, cialis, and metformin to protect hair and health. Some users caution against self-prescribing these drugs due to potential risks and complications.
The conclusion of this conversation about hair loss is that the user, "mynameisbogus," has been using Dutasteride, oral minoxidil, topical minoxidil, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massaging, and keto shampoo to treat their hair loss.

User shares one-year hair transplant results with 3633 FUE grafts. Responses discuss improved appearance, hairline looking pluggy, and doctor's location in Ottawa, Canada.
User considers trying AAPE for hair restoration, costing $700 for 6 months. Others discuss its potential effectiveness and mention a study with promising results.
Scientists discovered a new T cell treatment that could regrow hair. Users are skeptical but hopeful, with some relying on finasteride and minoxidil in the meantime.
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
The conversation is about someone seeking advice on choosing between stem cell therapy and PRP for treating hair loss, asking for personal results, side effects, overall satisfaction, and recommendations from others.
A user's father experienced hair regrowth and other health improvements after two IV exosome treatments. The user also had four rounds of exosome therapy, noting significant hair regrowth and relief from headaches, but no change in gray hair.

The conversation discusses hair loss and queries the effectiveness of treatments like PRP, Exosome therapy, peptides, and Stem Cell therapy. Specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also mentioned.
Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss by mimicking DHT-resistant cells from the back of the head. Traditional treatments like finasteride are also discussed, but stem cells could potentially offer a more permanent solution.
Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
