Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.
A Swiss product called Redensyl, which is supposed to target hair follicle stemcells and has recently been marketed in Europe. The post inquires if anyone has had any experience with the product.
ET-02, a new hair loss treatment, shows promising results with a 6-fold increase in hair count, potentially outperforming minoxidil by activating stemcells in hair follicles. Further trials are ongoing to confirm its efficacy and safety, with potential market release in the future.
ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
Microneedling at depths greater than 0.6 mm may damage miniaturized hair follicles, with 0.5 mm showing better results for hair regrowth. Combining microneedling with minoxidil enhances absorption, but caution is advised to avoid damaging follicles.
