A 25-year-old has used minoxidil for 7 years, finasteride for 2 years, oral minoxidil and dutasteride for 3 months, and also tried microneedling and nizoral. They are considering a hair transplant but are concerned about being a good candidate due to potential retrograde alopecia.
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.
