A new hair loss treatment involving Keratin Microsphere Gel is discussed, with skepticism and jokes about its effectiveness and comparisons to other treatments. Users are doubtful and make light of the situation, referencing past disappointments and the study's focus on mice.
community TWIST-1 and the cure: Is it really that easy?
TWIST-1 gene's role in hair loss and potential as a treatment target. Inhibiting TWIST-1 may prolong hair growth and reduce hair follicle sensitivity to DHT.
community Platelet rich plasma treatment
A 27-year-old male experienced rapid hair loss after dengue fever, which activated a balding gene. The doctor suggested platelet-rich plasma treatment for hair regrowth.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a cure for hair loss; instead, altering how scalp follicles respond to DHT might be more effective. Current treatments like topical finasteride and minoxidil are temporary solutions, and future approaches may involve gene therapy and bioengineering to change follicle behavior.
community Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible.
Developing new hair loss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hair loss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
