A user's 3-month experience with pyrilutamide to reduce hair shedding, and how it may not be strong enough to stop the thinning of their hairline. Other users mentioned the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for treating hair loss.
A 47-year-old male experienced significant hair loss after losing 37 kg in 6 months on a low-carb diet and started taking biotin, zinc, iron, selenium, and spectral dcn-n. Replies suggest that while carbs are not directly needed for hairgrowth, they help regulate hormones and nutrient absorption, and rapid weight loss can also contribute to hair loss.
Calecim (PTT-6) Advanced Hair System is a 6-week hair restoration product using stem cell-derived ingredients to stimulate hairgrowth. Users are skeptical, calling it overpriced and ineffective, suggesting alternatives like LLLT devices or PRP treatments.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hairgrowth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
A person noticed hair thinning, changed their diet, and added collagen and vitamins to see if it would improve hairgrowth before starting finasteride and considering a hair transplant. Commenters suggest the appearance of hair regrowth may be due to the way the hair is combed rather than actual growth.
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.
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hairgrowth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
The user follows a hair loss treatment routine including Propecia, oral minoxidil, ketoconazole, and plans to switch to dutasteride. They also focus on lifestyle changes, dietary supplements, and are considering laser therapy.
SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hairgrowth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.
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 hairgrowth. 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.
TDM-105795 showed promising hairgrowth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hair follicle stem cells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.
Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hairgrowth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hairgrowth.
Microneedling alone is not effective in maintaining minoxidil results for hairgrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil and finasteride may enhance results, but microneedling by itself is not a reliable treatment.
Microneedling for hair restoration involves daily use of a 0.3 mm device and weekly use of a 0.5 mm device. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil can enhance hairgrowth.
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hairgrowth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
User started Finasteride for hair loss, combining it with Saw Palmetto, Fenugreek seeds, almonds, bananas, eggs, and a coconut-castor oil mixture. Early updates show initial shedding and tiny new hairgrowth at the temples.
SCUBE3, a protein linked to hairgrowth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hairgrowth therapy.
User maintained hair with finasteride for 6 months, then switched to dutasteride for 7 months, using DHT blocking shampoo, keto 2% shampoo, and microneedling. Significant hairgrowth observed, especially on right temple.
The method combines finasteride, minoxidil, intense leg exercises, and cold exposure to treat androgenetic alopecia. It aims to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, enhancing hairgrowth.
The conversation discusses microneedling techniques and the use of Minoxidil, copper peptides, EGF, FGF, ceramides, and hydration serums to enhance hairgrowth. It explores optimizing scalp conditions and the potential benefits of various compounds in conjunction with microneedling.
The GT20029 tincture, a topical androgen receptor degrader, showed significant hairgrowth and good safety in a China Phase II trial for male androgenetic alopecia (AGA), with the 1% dose twice weekly identified as optimal. The company plans to initiate Phase III trials in China and Phase II in the U.S., and the treatment also shows promise for acne.
Hair loss treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841. Salon products and supplements generally don't work for hair regrowth unless there's a severe nutritional deficiency, while hormonal treatments like estrogen and spironolactone can be effective.
Hair follicles 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.
The user improved their hair density and reduced scalp visibility by using 1% ketoconazole shampoo, 1mg finasteride, and 5% minoxidil, which increased their confidence. Replies discuss the effects of these treatments, with one clarifying that minoxidil does not affect hormones but finasteride does.
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, PRP, and microneedling helped maintain hair for 20 years. Research and try evidence-based treatments for best results.
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.
The post and conversation are about a user claiming to be 137 years old with a full head of hair. Specific treatments mentioned include dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil.
