The conversation discusses the potential benefits of castor oil for hair thickening, with one user noting it may increase prostaglandin E2 anddecrease PGD2. The original poster plans to take 1-2ml orally daily.
Procyanidin B2, a compoundderived from Annurca apples, as a potential treatment for pattern hair loss. Several clinical studies were mentioned, which found that procyanidin B2 could increase hair growth, density, and keratin content. Other treatments such as Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841 were not discussed.
The conversation is about a user seeking help with hair regrowth treatments, specifically mentioning Setipiprant, Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841. The user is trying to contact forum members for guidance on making and using these treatments.
The conversation is about the effectiveness and production of GT20029, a drug being developed as a topical androgen receptor degrader for hair loss, and whether it can fully degrade androgen receptors or only partially. It also discusses the drug's potential unique working mechanism and synthesis by a company called Anagen.
New hair loss treatments like stem cells, hair cloning, and gt20029 are unlikely to be available in the next 5-10 years, with some trials possibly starting by 2026. Current treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride have been used for decades, and new developments depend on funding and successful trials.
The conversation is about the lack of updates on GT20029, a potential hair loss treatment, and the user considering using dutasteride or RU58841 instead of minoxidil/finasteride due to the long duration of the latter treatments.
Potential treatments for hair loss, specifically the combination of liquid minoxidil and pyrilutamide, with some suggesting that adding finasteride may be beneficial.
The impact of creatine on DHT levels, and whether it could cause accelerated male pattern baldness (MPB). The user taking a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor found that their DHT levels actually reduceddespite taking creatine for nine weeks. Replies suggested looking into testosterone levels as well anddebating the safety of creatine use in relation to MPB.
A user is making a 2-Deoxy-D-ribose solution and asks if it can be put into an oil instead of a gel, considering adding hydrocortisone and retinoic acid. They seek advice on the best carrier oil for hair growth.
The user is exploring hair growth stimulants other than Minoxidil, mentioning Stemoxydine, various peptides, drugs like Latanoprost and Bimatoprost, and natural remedies such as Rosemary Oil and Caffeine. They express concerns about the long-term effectiveness and safety of these alternatives and seek more information on viable options for hair regrowth.
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment, but experienced increased libido, itchy scalp, and accelerated hair loss. Another user suggested that genetic variations might cause dutasteride to be less effective and recommended checking for specific genetic markers.
The conversation is about the FDA approval of WINLEVI for acne treatment and the anticipation of Breezula, a hair loss treatment using the same active ingredient, which may indicate a positive future for Breezula's release. There is disappointment that Breezula's results are not optimal, but it is seen as progress in hair loss treatment.
Breezula protects hair follicles from both testosterone andDHT, unlike finasteride, which only protects against DHT. This could potentially lead to significant hair regrowth, similar to results seen in transgender individuals using hormone blockers.
The conversation discusses androgen receptor degraders for hair loss, highlighting their potential advantages over traditional AR blockers like RU58841 and pyrilutamide. Concerns about the safety and cost of these treatments are also mentioned.
Safflower oil is suggested as an alternative to minoxidil for hair growth, with benefits including scalp conditioning and hair strength enhancement. Studies indicate it may also reverse scalp dermatitis, alopecia, and prevent premature grayness.
The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reducedDHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.
The user has been using finasteride, minoxidil, anddermastamping, and started HRT 4 months ago but feels discouraged about progress. Other users see significant improvement and offer encouragement.
Taking topical minoxidil orally for hair loss treatment, discussing safety, dosing, side effects, and FAQs. Users express concerns about safety and potential heart damage, while others share experiences and results.
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, increasedDKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
The user stopped using finasteride and RU58841 and is considering CB-03-01 for androgenic alopecia but is concerned about the cost and effectiveness, especially at a lower dose than in clinical trials. They are also using minoxidil, micro-needling, and nizoral shampoo but are unsure about the correct application method for CB-03-01.
Treatments for hair loss, such as topical minoxidil, platelet-rich plasma therapy with or without minoxidil, ketoconazole, non-abative radio frequency, natural products, finasteride and cortexolone 17 alpha propionate. The post evaluates the efficacy and safety of these treatments in various studies.
The post discusses whether finasteride can maintain hair growth stimulated by minoxidil. The response indicates that finasteride cannot sustain minoxidil-grown hairs.
A bodybuilder's hair transplant appears unnatural with a straight hairline and low density, possibly worsened by not using finasteride. The Turkish clinic is criticized for poor design, and the transplant may have been free for promotion.
The potential risks of long-term use of Dutasteride and how it may be linked to elevated liver enzymes, cholesterol levels, anddecreased testosterone. Alternative treatments such as Finasteride and RU58841 were also discussed.
The user is using RU58841, finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil to slow down aggressive hair loss but is still experiencing hair shedding due to high testosterone levels.
