5 / 118 resultscommunity Keratin microspheres - breakthrough
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hair follicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
community Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
community High DHT with finasteride. Help!
Despite using 5% minoxidil, 0.1% finasteride, and other treatments like microneedling, MK-677, and Cialis, hair loss continues with high testosterone and DHT levels. Considering oral dutasteride but concerned about further increasing testosterone levels.
community HLT Megathread on HMI-115 (key takeaways in comments)
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 Oral Biotin and Topical Minoxidil have a synergy effect in increasing hair growth, the study was only done in healthy subjects and it was only 14 days but it does prove that biotin can play a significant role as an adjunct treatment.
Oral biotin combined with topical minoxidil may increase hair growth rate, though the study was limited to healthy subjects and did not measure hair density. Some users report personal benefits from biotin, such as faster nail growth and healthier hair, but concerns about acne and study quality were also mentioned.
