community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Kintor stealing pictures from a hair transplant clinic to promote their failed product (KX826, Pyrilutamide)
Kintor is accused of using fake pictures to promote their product, Pyrilutamide (KX826), which failed Phase 3 trials. Users express disappointment and note similar false advertising has occurred with finasteride and minoxidil.
community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
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 Verteporfin and Microneedling
Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community Anything you use without scientific backing, just trusting your gut?
The conversation discusses using peppermint oil for hair loss, with one user applying it undiluted to the scalp and another combining it with finasteride and microneedling. Some believe in its effectiveness despite limited scientific evidence, and also mention rosemary oil as potentially beneficial.
