User discusses using Verteporfin for hair regrowth after hair transplant. Replies mention successful follicle regrowth in studies and mice, questioning if it can be replicated in humans.
The potential of verteporfin to heal wounds without scarring; however, despite its promising preclinical trials and coverage from a major media outlet, there is still no official clinical trial result and the drug has only garnered attention from hair loss communities.
Minoxidil is highly toxic to pets, especially cats and dogs, even in small amounts. Many users have switched to oral minoxidil to prevent accidental exposure to their pets.
A naturally occurring sugar, 2-deoxy-D-ribose, in a hydrogel form, shows promise for hair regrowth similar to minoxidil in rats. The user plans to synthesize it for topical application, seeking input from others.
Liposomal formulations of finasteride and minoxidil may enhance drug delivery to the skin and hair follicles more effectively than traditional solutions, potentially improving treatment outcomes. However, more human clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
