PP405 is a new hairloss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
CRISPR shows promise for treating hairloss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
The user has been using finasteride and Alpecin shampoo for about three years, reporting thicker hair but an unchanged hairline. They are happy with their hair progress, noting the most improvement in the past five months, and mention a slight decrease in libido.
A user shared their 34-month update on using finasteride for hairloss, noting they maintained regrowth even after stopping minoxidil a year ago. Other users shared similar experiences and expressed admiration for the results.
Hair regrowth from treatments like minoxidil, RU58841, and finasteride is not permanent; stopping these treatments typically results in hairloss resuming. Beard hair can become permanent with minoxidil use, unlike scalp hair, which requires ongoing treatment to maintain gains.
Minoxidil gains are not permanent without continued use, even with DHT suppression. Combining treatments like Dutasteride, Finasteride, and RU58841 may help maintain hair, but stopping Minoxidil typically results in hairloss.
Sunburns on the scalp can cause permanenthairloss, especially for those using Tretinoin or Tacrolimus. Wearing UPF 50+ hats is recommended to protect against UV radiation.
Scalp sunburns can cause permanenthairloss, so wearing UPF hats is essential. Tretinoin and Tacrolimus users should be cautious of increased photosensitivity and potential scalp issues.
Discontinuing Minoxidil typically returns hair to baseline, but some believe it may go below baseline temporarily. Continuing finasteride or dutasteride is recommended.
Whether Finasteride can keep alive the hair gained by Minoxidil after quitting it, and why beard hairs are not as susceptible to miniaturization. It is suggested that scalp hair may be dependent on Minoxidil and that DHT could be countered with Finasteride to some extent, but there is no definitive data proving this.
Potential side effects of 5AR inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride. Users debate risks, benefits, and personal experiences with these hairloss treatments.
A user is considering using minoxidil for hairloss and asks for advice on application and long-term effectiveness. Responses suggest minoxidil can be effective but may lose efficiency over time, and combining it with other treatments like finasteride might be more beneficial.
Microneedling for hairloss and its potential long-term effects. Some users believe it can cause fibrosis and scar tissue if done too frequently or deeply, while others claim it has improved their hairloss when done correctly. There is limited scientific research on the topic.
The user discusses using dutasteride to stop hairloss and bimatoprost for regrowth. They plan to use VEGF with hydrogels for potentially permanenthair follicle improvement and suggest PRP as an alternative.
User shared progress in treating hairloss and improving skin, using treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, tretinoin, microneedling, and skin care regimen. Others commented on the impressive results and asked about costs and side effects.
The conversation discusses identifying permanenthairloss and includes treatments like microneedling and biotin vitamins. The user is unsure whether the reduction in wispy hairs is due to hair revitalization or loss.
The conversation discusses potential hairloss treatments, including hair cloning, setipiprant, and topical finasteride, questioning their availability and effectiveness as permanent cures. The user is inquiring about the release dates and efficacy of these treatments.
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP) is an autoimmune condition causing permanenthairloss and fibrosis, often misdiagnosed. Treatments include pioglitazone, topical corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medication, and Jak inhibitors.
The conversation is about the potential risk of permanenthairloss from PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatments and whether PRF (platelet rich fibrin) carries the same risk. The user is seeking information on this topic.
Lichen Planopilaris (LPP), a form of permanenthairloss, which can be mistaken for seborrheic dermatitis and is characterized by scalp itching, burning, redness, and dandruff. Treatment options discussed include steroidal creams, finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841.

Treatments used to prevent and treat male pattern baldness, the difficulty in finding a permanent cure for hairloss, and the potential financial motivations of companies not wanting to find a cure.
Hairloss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hairloss and limited investment.
The user achieved significant hair regrowth using only dutasteride, noticing results after 8-9 months despite initial shedding. They did not use minoxidil due to inconvenience but still experienced permanenthair growth.
OP injured their temple using derma rolling and tretinoin, causing peeling and potential hair follicle damage. Users suggest the injury might be permanent, possibly resulting in scar tissue where hair won't grow.
Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hairloss by mimicking DHT-resistant cells from the back of the head. Traditional treatments like finasteride are also discussed, but stem cells could potentially offer a more permanent solution.
The conversation discusses whether starting treatments like finasteride or dutasteride early in hairloss leads to better regrowth results. One user implies that early treatment is indeed more effective, while another regrets not starting treatment sooner due to permanenthairloss.
A user mixed peppermint, rosemary, and castor oil and applied it to their scalp, causing excessive hair shedding. They're concerned about permanenthairloss, while another user shared their experience of using undiluted rosemary oil without any major issues.
