This study found that intradermal injection of cholesterol-modified siRNA targeting FGF5 or FGF18, or topical application of FGF18-targeted siRNA, effectively influenced hair follicle cycles in mice, suggesting potential benefits for alopecia management.
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.
PP405 may damage hair follicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hairgrowth.
VDPHL-01 is essentially a slow-release oral minoxidil, which is already known to work for hairgrowth. The formulation includes other ingredients like Medrogestone, Valproic acid, Setipiprant, and Cetirizine, but their effectiveness and necessity are questioned.
The conversation discusses whether whey protein and creatine worsen hair loss. Some users report hair loss with creatine use, while others do not; opinions on whey protein's effects are mixed. Treatments mentioned include PRP, minoxidil, and finasteride.
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
