A user shared their 2-month hair regrowth progress using 1mg finasteride daily, 5% minoxidil once daily, 1% nizoral shampoo twice a week, and weekly derma stamping. They reported significant improvement and no major side effects, with plans to consider dutasteride if needed.
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.
Microneedling combined with minoxidil and finasteride shows significant hair regrowth, though opinions on its effectiveness vary. Some users report substantial benefits, while others highlight the need for more research and consistency in application.
The conversation is about seeking new research on hair loss treatments beyond the commonly known ones like Minoxidil and Finasteride. Additions to the list of treatments include topical caffeine, alfatradiol, fluridil, stemoxydine, and upcoming treatments like TDM-105795 and verteporfin.
Finasteride can cause sexual side effects in less than 2% of men, but these often disappear over time, even if the treatment continues. Some users report persistent side effects, while others experience no issues or only temporary ones.
Hair loss discussion includes broccoli sprouts treatment, Fluridil 7%, and sulforaphane, with mixed results. Finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 are preferred by some users.

The post expresses disappointment that there has been no major breakthrough in the field of hair loss treatments despite decades of research.
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stemcells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
TDM-105795 showed promising hair growth results, with higher efficacy than placebo and minimal side effects. It activates dormant hair follicle stemcells and may maintain gains without immediate loss, unlike minoxidil.
