A human trial of verteporfin, a drug that can inhibit wound healing by scarring and promote regeneration of original tissue and hairfollicles to provide an unlimited source for hair transplants; people discussed the potential of this drug and how it could be rolled out in mainstream with more doctors getting on board.
For hair loss, start with Finasteride, Minoxidil, Ketoconazole shampoo, and Microneedling. For severe cases, consider Dutasteride, oral Minoxidil, or hair transplants.
Exploring the potential of using verteporfin during hair transplants to minimize scarring and regenerate follicles, as well as discussing a possible standardized protocol for this treatment.
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hair growth.
The Shiseido/Replicel RCH-01 trial results were disappointing and ineffective. Users expressed skepticism and frustration, suggesting alternatives like Tsuji or simply accepting baldness.
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.
Hair loss therapies focusing on hairfollicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
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.
David Barreto shared that a London-based research group is conducting a 12-month trial for a new nutraceutical treatment for pattern hair loss, designed with Dr. Carlos Puig. The trial aims to provide robust data, with results expected in 1-2 years, potentially representing a significant advancement since finasteride’s introduction in 1997.
Treatments for hair loss, such as minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841; humorous posts about hair loss; and the choice to stop using treatments in exchange for a different look.
Minoxidil can prevent hairfollicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
A 22-year-old male experienced hair loss potentially linked to escitalopram, which stopped after switching to vortioxetine. His depressive symptoms improved with continued treatment.
A user who experienced hair loss and stopped finasteride 4.5 years ago is considering restarting treatment with finasteride and oral minoxidil, questioning if their hairfollicles are still recoverable. Responses suggest that hairfollicles may not die and can potentially be revived even after many years, with some users sharing personal success stories using treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, and RU58841.
SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
Hair loss discussion with a focus on a single resilient hair, jokingly called "chad hair," that remains despite hairline receding. Some users suggest microneedling and hairfollicle cloning as potential treatments.
Exercise, especially leg workouts, combined with finasteride and minoxidil, may enhance hair regrowth. Cold exposure, like cold showers, might further boost results.
A new technique developed by scientists in Japan to reverse balding using hairfollicle cell transplants, and the discussion around the effectiveness of this approach compared to other treatments such as Minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, Replicel, and Hairclone.
Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hairfollicle 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.
Tretinoin may worsen hair loss by inducing premature hairfollicle regression. It can be used with minoxidil to increase absorption but should not be used alone.
New potential hair loss treatment uses molecules from hairy moles to stimulate follicle growth. Topical solution requires less frequent application, like Botox injections a few times per year.
A Swiss product called Redensyl, which is supposed to target hairfollicle stem cells and has recently been marketed in Europe. The post inquires if anyone has had any experience with the product.
The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hairfollicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hairfollicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hairfollicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
Glycosaminoglycans are important for hair growth, and combining minoxidil with tretinoin and Biopeptide-CL may enhance hair growth by boosting glycosaminoglycan levels and improving the hairfollicle environment. Users discussed the potential effectiveness and future of these treatments.
