Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
community Progressive insomnia (treatment-resistant) due to Finasteride
A medical student experienced hair loss slowing with Finasteride but developed severe, treatment-resistant insomnia. They tried various medications with little effect, suspecting Post-Finasteride Syndrome, and others suggested the insomnia might be linked to Finasteride's impact on neurosteroids.
community Seems I have acquired progressive kinking of the hair, potentially brought on by minox.
User experienced hair kinking after starting minoxidil, despite being on finasteride for two years. Another user confirmed similar issues and suggested switching brands due to propylene glycol in minoxidil.
community Opinions on this study for Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer
The user shared their 5-year hair loss journey, initially using a product called Triphasic Progressive by Rene Furterer, which gave good results. Later, they switched to FDA-approved medications finasteride and minoxidil, which also helped, but they noticed the most significant progress with Triphasic. They're considering trying it again if minoxidil doesn't show improvements.
community Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible.
Developing new hair loss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hair loss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
