They are considering increasing Dutasteride to 2.5mg and questioning the necessity of a scalp biopsy, with mixed opinions on its usefulness.
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling. Oral minoxidil has been found to improve hair density in 90% of patients with a low side effect profile, but using 5mg per day can result in higher side effects including hypertrichosis and edema. Other treatments mentioned include finasteride and RU58841.
The conversation is about hair loss treatments, specifically discussing the effectiveness of Red Ginseng Extract in promoting hair growth. Other treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hairfollicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
The conversation discusses hair loss where only short, thin hairs are being shed after 16 weeks of using dutasteride, with no visible regrowth. One response suggests that shedding short hairs is a positive sign, indicating that the hairfollicles are still active and responding to treatment.
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.
The conversation discusses the correct method of microneedling for hair loss, questioning whether it should be done on areas with long hairwithout risking hair damage, and if it's necessary for improving blood flow to existing hair. No specific treatments were mentioned.
The conversation is about adding crushed bicalutamide or spironolactone to a topical mix with finasteride and minoxidil to suppress testosterone in hairfollicles, similar to what RU58841 does. The user cannot obtain RU58841 in their country and is seeking advice on this alternative approach for hair loss treatment.
The conversation discusses GT20029 as a potential hair loss treatment that could act like a cure by targeting androgen receptors in scalp hairfollicles. Specific treatments mentioned include GT20029, with a user expressing hope that it could make male pattern baldness obsolete.
Verteporfin is being explored for its potential to improve hair transplant outcomes by reducing scarring and increasing donor hairfollicles. There is skepticism about the results, with some claiming misleading presentation of evidence.
The user's decision to shave their head rather than continue using drugs like finasteride and minoxidil to try and stop hair loss, as well as other suggestions such as scalp micropigmentation.
The efficacy of various hair loss treatments, including Finasteride and Dutasteride, with personal anecdotal evidence about potential side effects. It also includes advice to get a male hormone blood panel done before starting treatment, and lifestyle changes to minimize side effects.
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hairfollicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
Stress can contribute to hair loss. Herbs like Passion Flower, Ginseng, Ashwagandha, and Valerian Root can help reduce stress and potentially improve hair health.
User shared 2.5-year progress using finasteride for hair loss, showing significant improvement and reduced hair shedding. Persistence with finasteride led to thicker hair and fewer hair fall issues.
A group buy for testing a compound targeting Twist1 protein as a potential hair loss treatment. Inhibiting Twist1, which keeps hairfollicles in growth phase, may prevent hair loss with minimal side effects.
How androgens, including testosterone, can cause hairfollicles to miniaturize in people with sensitivity to androgens, and treatments such as finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, or fluridil may be used in combination for long-term treatment.
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle 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.
How easy it is to fake hair growth, and the skepticism of progress pictures on the subreddit. Some treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, Toppik/Hair Fibers, Dermmatch and a hair transplant.
The conversation discusses the tension theory of baldness, suggesting that over-developed masseter muscles may harm hairfollicles. Botox injections to relax these muscles reportedly led to an 18% increase in hair count in men with AGA.
The user is using 0.1% dutasteride, 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.005% caffeine in the morning, and 1% minoxidil with 2% procapil and 0.01% tretinoin at night. They are concerned about the solution vehicle's effectiveness in preventing systemic absorption and ensuring the products stay around the hairfollicles.
