A user suggests making a potent sulforaphane topical to degrade DHT and promote hair growth. Another user notes that sulforaphane's low molecular weight might also lower systemic DHT.
community UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”
PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.
community The no BS guide to saving your hair without finasteride (improvement in 90% of patients in the study) with a low side effect profile or improvement in 100% of patients but a higher side effect profile and increased dosage. The future is here?
Hair loss treatments, specifically the use of oral minoxidil in combination with micro-needling. Oral minoxidil has been found to improve hair density in 90% of patients with a low side effect profile, but using 5mg per day can result in higher side effects including hypertrichosis and edema. Other treatments mentioned include finasteride and RU58841.
community This, and the UCLA molecule(linked article in comments)…I have great hopes
Oleic acid and ethanol are being considered for hair regrowth, with some users planning to self-experiment. There is skepticism about their effectiveness, and ongoing use of treatments like finasteride and minoxidil is mentioned.
community Dermastamping — do you use hyaluronic acid as lubricant?
The conversation discusses using high molecular weight hyaluronic acid after microneedling to form a protective barrier, though it's considered expensive and offers marginal improvement. Users share experiences with different microneedling tools like derma rollers, dermastamps, and Dr. Pen, with some opting not to use any products on the scalp.
