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.
The user is hesitant to use finasteride due to potential hormonal side effects and is waiting for the release of pyrilutamide, a new hair loss treatment. Other users suggest trying finasteride, warning about potential regret if hair loss progresses in the meantime.
The impact of creatine on DHT levels, and whether it could cause accelerated male pattern baldness (MPB). The user taking a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor found that their DHT levels actually reduced despite taking creatine for nine weeks. Replies suggested looking into testosterone levels as well and debating the safety of creatine use in relation to MPB.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The post is an update on the user's hair loss journey. They have a strong hairfollicle that has remained unaffected by hair loss for almost 3 years. The user is starting finasteride and using ketoconazole, alfatradiol, and oral castor oil for hair maintenance.
The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hairfollicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hairfollicle stem cell multiplication and the financial challenges of starting human clinical trials. It also mentions the need for funding to secure a patent for a protein that promotes hair growth.
