5 / 152 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 Summary of Procapil video by Haircafe
Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
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 Sugar and Hair loss connections
High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
community VDPHL-01 is Overrated and Ridiculous. This is just Oral Minoxidil.
VDPHL-01 is essentially a slow-release oral minoxidil, which is already known to work for hair growth. The formulation includes other ingredients like Medrogestone, Valproic acid, Setipiprant, and Cetirizine, but their effectiveness and necessity are questioned.
