Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
Minoxidil can prevent hair follicle miniaturization, not just stimulate hair growth. Finasteride and dutasteride don't work for everyone, suggesting DHT may not be the sole cause of hair loss; hair loss could be due to multiple factors, including autoimmune conditions.
Stem cell therapy shows promise in treating hair loss 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.
User considers trying AAPE for hair restoration, costing $700 for 6 months. Others discuss its potential effectiveness and mention a study with promising results.
A user's father experienced hair regrowth and other health improvements after two IV exosome treatments. The user also had four rounds of exosome therapy, noting significant hair regrowth and relief from headaches, but no change in gray hair.
The conversation is about someone seeking advice on choosing between stem cell therapy and PRP for treating hair loss, asking for personal results, side effects, overall satisfaction, and recommendations from others.
PP405, a topical LDH inhibitor, has shown to stimulate hair follicle stem cell proliferation in humans with moderate hair loss. They are advancing to more detailed trials this year.
A man who claimed to have regrown his hair using stem cell treatment, sparking a debate about its effectiveness and cost. Some users suggested he might be using other treatments or substances, while others shared their own experiences with stem cell therapy for hair loss.
A Swiss product called Redensyl, which is supposed to target hair follicle stem cells and has recently been marketed in Europe. The post inquires if anyone has had any experience with the product.
A user shared their 1.5-year hair restoration journey, successfully using mesenchymal stem cell therapy, Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) injections, and a topical compound of finasteride and minoxidil, avoiding a hair transplant and oral finasteride. They experienced significant hair regrowth, particularly crediting the stem cell therapy for quick initial results.
Microneedling with needle lengths of 1.5mm to 2.5mm to stimulate hair follicle stem cells for potential hair growth. Using needles longer than 2.5mm is not recommended due to risk of puncturing veins in the scalp. A dermastamp is suggested over a roller.
User hoodoomoovoo discusses their interest in stem cell research and its potential for hair loss treatment. They share links to studies and mention ongoing trials, expressing optimism for a future solution to hair loss.
The conversation is about a hair loss product that claims to use stem cells and ingredients like Capixyl, Redensyl, and Baicapil, with the user asking if anyone has looked into it. No specific treatments were discussed.
Hair loss treatments discussed include Fluridil, Minoxidil, Stem, Niz, Viviscal, Broccoli Sprouts, and Derma. One user claims most treatments are ineffective, while another supports Eucapil.
The conversation discusses hair loss and queries the effectiveness of treatments like PRP, Exosome therapy, peptides, and Stem Cell therapy. Specific treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are also mentioned.
User started minoxidil, noticed forehead lines and dark circles, and asked for non-invasive skin aging prevention methods. Another user suggested using tretinoin and hyaluronic acid for long-term benefits.
Microneedling stimulates hair growth through stem cell activation during wound healing, not just increased blood flow. Other methods like showers or supplements don't replicate this effect.
A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.
Stemson Therapeutics announced a breakthrough in hair growth technology using stem cells. Users discussed the potential high cost and skepticism about the treatment's accessibility.
Hair loss treatments ExoFlo and XoFlo use exosomes from stem cells to stimulate hair growth. The user seeks feedback on results from those who tried these treatments.
Microneedling may help regrow hair in dormant bald regions by stimulating stem cell transfer. Users discuss its effectiveness and how collagen might aid in the process.
Calecim (PTT-6) Advanced Hair System is a 6-week hair restoration product using stem cell-derived ingredients to stimulate hair growth. Users are skeptical, calling it overpriced and ineffective, suggesting alternatives like LLLT devices or PRP treatments.
TGF-B affects hair growth, both causing stem cell division and death depending on amounts. Amplifica's treatment injects Scube3 to increase TGF-B for hair growth.
The conversation discusses an interview with Dr. Tsuji about hair follicle stem cell multiplication and the financial challenges of starting human clinical trials. It also mentions the need for funding to secure a patent for a protein that promotes hair growth.
