Hairfollicle cloning is claimed to be possible but not widely available due to potential safety issues, such as cancer risks. Current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride are not effective for everyone, and there is frustration over limited access to these medications.
A user plans to experiment with creating new hairfollicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.
Hair loss can be treated by correcting glucose metabolism in hairfollicles and using equol as a safer DHT blocker. Production of these treatments is starting soon, and a Discord channel is available for more information.
Hairfollicles can potentially produce more hair strands with treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride. Notable improvements in hair density are possible, but achieving multiple strands per follicle is uncertain.

Glycosaminoglycans are important for hairgrowth, and combining minoxidil with tretinoin and Biopeptide-CL may enhance hairgrowth by boosting glycosaminoglycan levels and improving the hairfollicle environment. Users discussed the potential effectiveness and future of these treatments.
The conversation discusses potential future hair loss treatments, including SCUBE3, hairfollicle cloning, and GT20029, with mentions of past disappointments like CosmeRNA and hopes for treatments like Verteporfin for infinite donor hair.

User discusses using Verteporfin for hair regrowth after hair transplant. Replies mention successful follicle regrowth in studies and mice, questioning if it can be replicated in humans.
Hairgrowth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting folliclegrowth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
The user discusses using dutasteride to stop hair loss and bimatoprost for regrowth. They plan to use VEGF with hydrogels for potentially permanent hairfollicle improvement and suggest PRP as an alternative.
The "DHT itch" is real and likely due to inflammation at the hairfollicle, exacerbated by increased testosterone or androgens. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, minoxidil, finasteride, and various topical solutions.
Pyrilutamide did not show effectiveness in regrowing hair compared to a placebo, but it may still help maintain existing hair by preventing DHT from causing follicle miniaturization. Some users believe it could be beneficial when used with other treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.
How Finasteride and Dutasteride help reduce hair loss by reducing the amount of DHT in scalp areas, as well as discussing factors such as sensitivity to DHT, 5α-reductase expression in different parts of the hairfollicle, and scalp tension.
The conversation is about a hair loss treatment routine involving dermarolling, finasteride, minoxidil, and natural oils. Suggestions include using shorter needles for better absorption of treatments and longer needles less frequently for hairfollicle regeneration.
