Hair growth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting follicle growth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hairfollicle sensitivity to DHT.
TDM-105795 showed promising hair growth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hairfollicle stem cells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.
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.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hairfollicle 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.
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.
The conversation is about future hair loss treatments. Current treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with potential future treatments like GT20029, TDM-105795, JW0061, and follicle cloning.
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hairfollicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hairfollicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
A 24-year-old woman with thinning hair is using Minoxidil, saw palmetto, biotin, rosemary oil, and ketoconazole. She seeks advice on whether to try finasteride or dutasteride, the effects of Minoxidil shedding, and the significance of her hairfollicle condition.
OP injured their temple using derma rolling and tretinoin, causing peeling and potential hairfollicle damage. Users suggest the injury might be permanent, possibly resulting in scar tissue where hair won't grow.
The user shared a 3-month progress update on hair loss treatment using finasteride (1 mg), minoxidil (5% once or twice daily), and microneedling (1.5mm every 2 weeks) with no side effects. Commenters are impressed, discussing hairfollicle revival and the user's method, noting the hair appears darker.
The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hairfollicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
A user shared their 3-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride daily and 5% topical minoxidil twice daily, along with Pura D’Or anti-thinning shampoo and a scalp massager. They noticed initial worsening but later saw hairfollicle recovery.
The conversation discusses expectations for the release of Breezula, a new hair loss treatment, and compares it to existing treatments like finasteride. Some believe Breezula could be a game-changer due to fewer side effects, while others await more permanent solutions like hairfollicle cloning.
Hair oils can cause severe allergic reactions, as seen in Jermel Brown's case, leading to significant health issues and legal action for damages. Users discussed concerns about various hair oils, including Mielle and Kiehl's, with some experiencing hair loss and others using treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride to address damage.
Hair cloning is discussed, focusing on its current status and potential availability. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
The conversation discusses the complexity of hair loss causes, suggesting that DHT sensitivity alone doesn't fully explain it. Treatments mentioned include finasteride and dutasteride.
A user is concerned about the legitimacy of a hair growth serum called Lavdik, which they ordered after seeing an ad for Jemros. The product contains ginger extract, ginseng extract, fleece flower root, grape seed oil, glycerol, carbomer, propylene glycol, and rosemary oil, and the user is unsure if it is effective or a scam.
The conversation discusses hair cloning trials expected to start in 2020-2021 and mentions concerns about potential delays due to the Coronavirus. Treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are referenced.
Hairfollicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.
Treatments for hair loss, such as using AR receptor blockers and degraders, to see if follicles can regenerate in the long term. The conversation also discusses how hair transplants could be a potential solution.
Hair cloning is discussed as a potential future solution for hair loss, but it's not expected to be available soon due to high costs and technical challenges. Current treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are not mentioned in this conversation.
Factors that can cause hair loss other than DHT, such as inflammation and diet, and potential treatments like scalp massages, minoxidil, citrulline, stretches, meditation, iron sulfate/Vitamin C, Vitamin D, protein and Dutasteride.
Hair cloning and injection of dermal papilla cells are discussed, with skepticism about their availability by 2023. Users mention Minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants as current treatments.
