miR-205, a tiny RNA, can stimulate hair growth by softening aging hair follicle stem cells in mice. Future tests aim to see if this can work in humans.
A new FDA-cleared fractional laser treatment called FoLix is discussed as a potential alternative to hair transplants, but users express skepticism due to its high cost, pain, and lack of proven results. Some users prefer traditional methods like Minoxidil, finasteride, steroid shots, and microneedling for hair growth.
The user has accepted their hair loss and uses finasteride and minoxidil, with past use of RU58841 and dutasteride. They seek advice on supplements to slow down graying hair.
L-arginine may worsen hair loss by potentially increasing testosterone levels, especially in those with a DHT-sensitive gene. Users discuss the effects of increased nitric oxide on hair loss and consider stopping supplements like zinc and l-arginine to see if hair conditions improve.
A user shared 3-month hair regrowth results using a combination of oral Dutasteride, daily Minoxidil, RU58841, micro-needling, Keto shampoo, scalp massages, and supplements. Positive progress was noted, and encouragement to continue was given.
The conversation is about trying DS Labs SOD supplements for hair loss, which contain ingredients like Genistein, B-sitosterol, and Biotin. The user is considering adding these supplements to their existing hair care routine.
The conversation discusses using Pyrilutamide, Alfatradiol 0.1%, and Minoxidil for hair loss treatment. Pyrilutamide is described as a strong antiandrogen, and Alfatradiol is noted for its effectiveness in inhibiting DHT on the scalp.
GT20029 showed significant hair growth and safety in phase II trials, with no adverse sexual events. Users are hopeful but concerned about future costs and systemic effects.
The conversation discusses interest in peptides for hair loss, specifically mentioning ahkCU and ghkCU. A user is considering adding ghkCU to their treatment regimen.
A South Korean company, Therazyne, has developed a promising hair loss treatment using a WNT chain surrogate that binds to Frizzled 7, with human follicle testing expected soon. Current treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are not seen as cures, and while optimism exists for future solutions like PP405, approval processes are lengthy.
P-1075 is a more potent hair growth agent than Minoxidil, but it poses significant heart risks, making it unsafe for use. Despite promising results in macaques, concerns about its cardiotoxicity in rats have halted its development.
Using PP405 and Clascoterone after a hair transplant may not cause issues if the transplant didn't achieve native density, but could lead to competition for blood supply if it did. Some users suggest waiting for these drugs to be available, as they might not significantly impact blood supply or regrowth.
Laser caps are found to be more effective than 5% minoxidil for treating hair loss, and when combined with minoxidil, they are even more effective.
