      community Had my 6 month checkup today and saw better results than I thought. More full up top and my facial hair has also gotten fuller as well

      A user who has seen results of hair regrowth after 6 months of using finasteride 1.25mg daily, and topical foam minoxidil twice a day for 3 months before switching to once a day; other users have advised against increasing the dose of finasteride due to lack of additional scalp DHT reduction and increased risk of side effects.

      community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)

      in Research/Science  38 upvotes 2 years ago
      HMI-115, a newly discovered hair loss treatment that could potentially be effective for those with diffuse thinning and telogen effluvium. It is based on prolactin receptor antagonist signaling and has already undergone Phase I trials in women, with potential commercialization by 2027.

      community Better Than Minoxidil? Topical Sodium Valproate

      in Research/Science  52 upvotes 1 month ago
      Topical sodium valproate may promote hair growth by inhibiting GSK3β, allowing beta-catenin to proliferate, but it has potential side effects and requires more research. The conversation also mentions skepticism about a product called Vdphlo1, which includes sodium valproate and other ingredients.

      community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti

      in Research/Science  14 upvotes 1 year ago
      He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
