PP405's phase 2a trial results were presented, focusing on safety and pharmacokinetics, with a future meeting planned to share the full dataset. The trial includes a randomized controlled portion and an open-label extension, with no indication of phase 2B completion.
The conversation is about finding a pure high molecular weight hyaluronic acid for the scalp after microneedling. A user suggests using a product from The Ordinary.
The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronic acid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
The conversation is about trying Hair Volume by New Nordic for improving hair quality and density. The product contains biotin, apple extract, millet extract, L-methionine, pantothenic acid, silicon, zinc oxide, and copper sulfate.
Mallia Aesthetics has developed MAL-838, a hormone-free product derived from sCD83, which stimulates hair growth without disrupting the skin microbiome. sCD83 promotes hair growth by activating hair follicles and preventing cell death, offering a localized treatment without systemic side effects.
Fibrin-based hydrogels support stem cells for hair follicle regeneration, showing promise for treating alopecia and wound healing. They enhance cell viability, maintain stemness, and promote hair and tissue regeneration without teratoma formation.
PRP treatments have been effective for the user, with a new recommendation of using a high-quality plasma kit once a year. The user seeks experiences with this specific PRP approach.
A 24-year-old male has been using oral Finasteride 1mg/day for 6 months and nanoxidil for 10 months, recently switching to oral Minoxidil 2.5mg daily, with no progress. Suggestions include getting a scalp biopsy, consulting a dermatologist, and possibly trying higher doses of oral Minoxidil or switching to dutasteride.
Nanoxidil, a minoxidil derivative, is being discussed as a potential hair loss treatment. Users are curious about its effectiveness and side effects compared to minoxidil, with some noting it includes additional ingredients like caffeine.
Verteporfin, combined with microneedling, shows promise for hair regrowth by allowing hair follicles to grow in wounds, but it's expensive and painful. Pai-1 inhibitors may also help prevent hair loss by degrading fibrosis, and some users continue using minoxidil alongside these treatments.
KPV, a peptide patented by L'Oreal, may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss by extending the anagen phase and has anti-inflammatory properties. It could be combined with treatments like minoxidil for enhanced effects.
Veradermics' phase 2 trial of slow-release oral minoxidil shows promising hair regrowth with minimized side effects, gaining significant attention and funding. PP405 is also noted for its potential as a side-effect-free alternative.
A hair restoration case involved injecting four different doses of Verteporfin into the mid scalp and using Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP) around the extraction areas. Photos were taken and an update will be shared soon.
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) may reduce inflammation in alopecia conditions. It is discussed as a potential adjunct treatment with finasteride or dutasteride for androgenic alopecia.
Fatty acid metabolic signaling can activate epithelial stem cells for hair regeneration. Oleic and palmitoleic acids showed the best results, but practical application on humans remains uncertain.
AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily treatments.
Clascoterone 5% solution showed a 539% improvement in hair count compared to placebo, but the actual increase in hair growth is minimal. Users express skepticism about the effectiveness of hair loss treatments.
Fibrin-based hydrogels support stem cells for hair follicle regeneration, showing promise for alopecia treatment. They enhance cell viability, maintain stemness, and induce hair growth without teratoma formation.
The conversation is about finding providers for Dutasteride Mesotherapy in the US, which is more common in Europe. The user is asking if any mesotherapy/PRP clinic could offer it if they provide the Dutasteride.
Monthly microneedling combined with low-dose topical dutasteride shows promising results for hair density and thickness with minimal side effects, especially in the frontal area. Despite its effectiveness, it is not widely discussed or used due to availability and cost concerns.
People are pessimistic about PP405, believed to be Jxl-069, due to doubts about its effectiveness and delivery method. Some think it doesn't work, while others blame the vehicle used for application.
The user has tried various hair loss treatments including topical minoxidil, oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, oral minoxidil, and exosome therapy, but none have been effective. They suspect trichodynia might be preventing these treatments from working.
Using liposomal solutions with dutasteride, minoxidil, and tretinoin worsened hair loss due to buildup and scalp issues. Consulting a professional and returning to simpler treatments like finasteride and minoxidil improved the situation.
Emerging hair loss treatments like PP405, a topical MPC inhibitor, show promise in activating stem cells for hair growth. The conversation seeks information on the development stages and accessibility of these treatments.
The conversation discusses using peptides BPC-157 and TB-500, combined with microneedling, to potentially enhance hair regrowth. The user plans to try BPC-157 due to its lower cost and reports of hair growth, despite limited human trials and concerns about side effects from other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
