Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
A new study that found a single chemical could potentially be responsible for hair loss, and the potential to use this discovery to stimulate hair growth. The conversation also includes various treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, microneedling, DUT, and Botox for hair loss.
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
Topical finasteride is considered a safer option for hair regrowth with fewer systemic side effects compared to oral finasteride. Some users report similar efficacy and side effects between topical and oral treatments, while others prefer topical due to reduced systemic exposure.
A user is organizing a group buy for various compounds aimed at reversing hair loss and gray hair, and improving brain health and fat loss. The user has developed a treatment plan based on extensive research and is inviting others to participate, with the option to choose only the compounds they need.
There have been no new effective hair loss treatments since finasteride, despite technological advancements. Current treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841, with ongoing challenges and potential future solutions in research.
A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.
A Swiss product called Redensyl, which is supposed to target hairfolliclestemcells and has recently been marketed in Europe. The post inquires if anyone has had any experience with the product.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hairfolliclestemcell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hairfolliclestemcell 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.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hairfolliclestemcells 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.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hairfolliclestemcells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
NMN shows promise in promoting hair growth by reducing oxidative stress and weakening androgens. It may be a beneficial addition to hair loss treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride.
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
A 32-year-old man has been treating his hair loss with daily oral finasteride (1.25g), twice-daily topical minoxidil, weekly ketoconazole 2% shampoo, and weekly microneedling for almost three months, with no side effects from finasteride. He started with a Hamilton Norwood scale rating of 5 and has seen improvement without experiencing pain by using a 0.8mm needle length for microneedling.
The user experienced positive hair growth results using microneedling with rosemary and mint oil, without Minoxidil, Finasteride, or RU58841. They switched from a dermaroller to a microneedling pen and targeted different scalp areas weekly.
Microneedling is effective for hair growth, especially when combined with finasteride and minoxidil, but concerns exist about potential long-term skin damage. Users report increased collagen and elastin deposition, but the long-term effects on the scalp remain uncertain.
A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.
Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
The conversation is about a person struggling with hair loss and feeling frustrated comparing themselves to friends with thick hair. They started taking 1 mg Finasteride a month ago to address the hair loss.
Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stemcell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hairfollicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stemcells 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.
The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hairfollicles through microneedling, due to stemcell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
User hoodoomoovoo discusses their interest in stemcell research and its potential for hair loss treatment. They share links to studies and mention ongoing trials, expressing optimism for a future solution to hair loss.
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hairfollicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
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.
Hair loss therapies focusing on hairfollicle sugar metabolism and aldose reductase. Potential treatments include magnesium supplements, avoiding high glycemic index foods, and antioxidants.
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.
