ET-02 (RS 5441) shows promising results for hair growth, performing better in humans than in mice. There is debate over the effectiveness compared to minoxidil, with some users wanting more detailed data.
A user humorously discusses wanting to transplant all their hair into one dense circle on their scalp, leaving the rest of their head bald. Replies include a joke about performing the procedure and a story about someone using their hair to fight crime.
The conversation discusses DIY cosmetic procedures like PRP, mesotherapy, and micro-needling, with some users experimenting with Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 for hair loss. It highlights a community of mostly older women performing these treatments themselves.
The user was rejected from participating in a clinical trial for an extended-release oral Minoxidil due to having rheumatoid arthritis, despite initially being accepted. They had stopped using Dutasteride and Minoxidil to qualify but continued using other treatments like RU58841 and red light therapy.
Optimal microneedling routine is 1.25mm once a week with Dr Pen 36 needles. Applying Minoxidil right after microneedling may increase systemic absorption risk.
