Hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and potential mRNA therapies are discussed. There is skepticism about targeting specific genes due to the complex genetic nature of hair loss.
A user shared their successful experience with hair regrowth and transitioning from male to female using minoxidil, finasteride, Nutrafol, microneedling, and hormone replacement therapy (HRT). They expressed gratitude for the results and encouraged others to explore treatments that align with their personal goals.
The user applies Rogaine foam, Toppik hair fibers, and Tresemme mousse to improve hair appearance and has restarted finasteride after a year off. They are considering a hair transplant and are working on self-esteem related to hair loss.
The user has been using minoxidil mousse, a dermaroller, zinc, and biotin for hair loss with good results and is considering adding a low-dose topical finasteride but is concerned about potential shedding. Another user shared their experience with side effects from finasteride, suggesting the possibility of a nocebo effect at such a low dose.
Adipose-derived stem cells with ATP improved hair regrowth in male and female mice with androgenetic alopecia. The most effective treatments were low dose stem cells with ATP for males and medium dose stem cells with non-liposomal ATP for females.
Using a blow dryer, sea salt spray, mousse, and texture powder can significantly increase hair volume. These products can improve hair appearance quickly and easily.
The conversation is about temporary hair thickening solutions, with suggestions including volumizing mousse, sea salt spray, Aveda thickening paste, tinted dry shampoo, and cold water rinses. The user is already using oral Minoxidil, Dutasteride, and keto shampoo, and has had a hair transplant.
The conversation is about styling products for thinning hair, with suggestions including shear revival northern lights paste, salt water, and Aveda mousse. The original poster uses oral minoxidil for hair loss.
The user started oral minoxidil and finasteride two months after a hair transplant and plans to switch to dutasteride, using Nizoral and Mossi shampoos. They are considering a second transplant in Tijuana and using hair fibers and mousse for styling while waiting for medication effects.
A 20-year-old male experiencing hair thinning uses 1mg finasteride and 2.5mg minoxidil daily, and seeks styling advice to hide frontal scalp thinning. Recommendations include using hair powder, mousse, sea salt spray, and matte clay, along with specific styling techniques like blow-drying and using a detangling brush.
Sea salt spray may not be ideal for thinning hair, and alternatives like texture powder, thickening tonic, and styling clay are suggested for volume without damage. Some users recommend thickening sprays or mousse for a fuller appearance, while others suggest considering medication for hair loss.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth after switching to a regimen of 0.5mg dutasteride daily, 5mg oral minoxidil daily, and occasional minoxidil foam, which resolved dandruff issues. They also use 2% ketoconazole shampoo and Kerastase Densifique mousse for styling, and recommend avocado oil for hydration.
Hair loss treatments are being tested on mice, with methods like minoxidil and stem cell therapy showing promising results. However, human trials are still years away, leading to humorous frustration about mice benefiting first.
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause dry eyes by damaging meibomian glands, as these glands continue to function normally even when DHT is blocked. Some users report dry eyes with these medications, but others suggest supplements like Omega-3 or krill oil as potential remedies.
Pilose antler extracts may promote hair growth in androgenetic alopecia by activating hair follicle stem cells through the AKT and Wnt pathways. However, results in mice may not directly apply to humans due to differences in genetic and biochemical conditions.
A new stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss, but skepticism remains about its availability. Users humorously discuss the effectiveness of treatments on mice compared to humans.
Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
Kartogenin is being discussed as a potential topical treatment for hair growth. The conversation humorously notes its testing on animals like mice and rabbits.
Intermittent fasting may suppress hair follicle regeneration, but opinions vary on its impact on hair loss. Some users report no negative effects or even hair improvement while using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil.
Carnosic acid in rosemary extract may enhance skin repair and promote hair follicle regeneration. It could be used alone or with verteporfin for scarless healing after dermal wounding.
A humorous discussion about hair loss treatments, specifically mentioning minoxidil and oral use. The conversation includes a satirical take on a worker at a minoxidil factory.
A serum with oleic and palmitoleic acids shows promise for hair regrowth in mice, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the recommended treatments.
Oleic acid and ethanol are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users planning to self-experiment. There is skepticism about their effectiveness, and ongoing use of treatments like finasteride and minoxidil is mentioned.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
A sugar gel has been found to trigger significant hair regrowth. Users discuss its potential effectiveness compared to other treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
Vitamin D may counteract DHT and help with hair growth, as seen in mice and human hair cultures. Some users discuss using Vitamin D, magnesium, and other supplements for hair health, while others humorously note the success in mice.
2-deoxy-D-ribose, a sugar molecule, is found to be 80%-90% as effective as Minoxidil in promoting hair growth, showing potential for alopecia treatment. Concerns include high cost, lack of human studies, and possible side effects like diarrhea and nausea.
Scientists discovered a sugar gel, 2dDR-SA, that increased hair growth in mice. Users discussed its potential, comparing it to other treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
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.
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on Tsuji's hair cloning and Shiseido's RCH-01, with skepticism about their effectiveness on humans. It compares these to PRP, noting PRP's higher efficacy in studies.
