5 / 24 resultscommunity REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)
Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
community drinking topical minoxidil – extreme hair growth everywhere
At this point.
In this conversation, users discussed the risks of drinking topical minoxidil and suggested alternative treatments such as obtaining a prescription for oral minoxidil or finasteride.
community Is this Better Than Topical Minoxidil? Topical Diazoxide
Topical diazoxide may be a promising hair regrowth treatment, especially for those who don't respond to minoxidil, as it activates potassium channels without needing sulfation. It appears safe for topical use, avoiding systemic effects seen in oral use.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Another transplant or SMP? (Not balding)
The user is considering another hair transplant or scalp micropigmentation (SMP) for a congenital bald spot, but previous transplants were less effective due to scar tissue. Suggestions include using hair fibers, changing hairstyles, or doing nothing, as the spot is not very noticeable.
