    GlossarySelective Photothermolysis

    process targeting specific tissues with light to avoid surrounding damage

    Selective Photothermolysis is a process used in laser treatments where specific wavelengths of light are absorbed by targeted tissues, such as hair follicles or pigmented cells, without damaging surrounding areas. This technique allows for precise treatment of conditions like unwanted hair, tattoos, or skin lesions by heating and destroying the target tissue while sparing the surrounding skin.

      community We need actual hair loss studies on Epristeride

      in Research/Science  6 upvotes 11 months ago
      Epristeride is a selective 5 alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor that may reduce scalp DHT similarly to finasteride, with potentially fewer side effects. It is suggested that combining epristeride with finasteride or dutasteride could enhance hair loss treatment effectiveness.

      community Pyrilutamide ,the molecule’s true nature

      in Research  302 upvotes 1 year ago
      Pyrilutamide is a selective AR antagonist with a high binding affinity, making it effective in competing with DHT for androgen receptors. The 1% concentration is more effective than the 0.5%, but the latter may suffice for mild hair loss; the drug is considered a good option for those avoiding 5AR blockers due to side effects.

      community PP405 - A True Breakthrough or Another Disappointment?

      in Research/Science  35 upvotes 3 months ago
      PP405 shows potential for hair growth, with 31% of advanced balding men experiencing over 20% increase in hair density in 8 weeks. However, skepticism persists due to selective data presentation and lack of long-term results, with comparisons to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
