A 25-year-old man with hair loss from bleach damage is using oral minoxidil and considering adding Dutasteride for better regrowth and prevention. He seeks advice on Dutasteride's effectiveness and potential benefits over finasteride, and is also curious about RU58841.
Hair loss research is important and contributes to overall scientific advancement, benefiting emotional well-being and potentially aiding other medical fields. Treatments mentioned include PP405 and SCUBE3.
Microneedling with topical minoxidil is effective for hair regrowth, especially with finasteride. Users report fewer side effects compared to oral minoxidil.
Federal funding cuts have delayed PP405 research, affecting hair loss treatment progress, though clinical trials will continue. The discussion highlights PP405's potential compared to minoxidil and finasteride and stresses the importance of government-funded research.
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
