community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
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.
community Evaluate your progress with an objective tool
The post discusses using ImageJ software to objectively track hair regrowth progress. The user is treating Androgen alopecia with dutasteride and minoxidil.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to work in the scalp. Not weeks. Be careful.
Dutasteride takes 1-3 months to affect scalp DHT levels, not just a week. The prostate absorbs Dutasteride faster than the scalp due to different vascular networks and enzyme densities.
community Haircafe on why microneedling is bad for hair growth
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.
