      community Prolactin the Cause of Hair Loss? ABS-201 the Cure?

       29 upvotes 2 months ago
      Prolactin may contribute to hair loss, but targeting its receptor won't cure androgenetic alopecia. ABS-201 could be a useful alternative or adjuvant therapy, similar to JAK inhibitors, but not more effective than HMI-115.

      community Verteporfin and Microneedling

      in Treatments 2 years ago
      Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.

      community What if DHT is not the vilan.

       13 upvotes 5 years ago
      Hair loss may be influenced more by inflammation, microbiome imbalances, and gut health than DHT. Treatments discussed include minoxidil, finasteride, RU58841, fecal microbiota transplants, and JAK inhibitors.
