5 / 19 resultscommunity Woolly mice but no hair growth treatment for humans yet 🤷♂️
Hair regrowth treatments are effective in mice but not yet available for humans. The discussion humorously highlights frustration over this disparity and mentions a project to genetically modify elephants to resemble mammoths.
community If people technically have hair follicles all over their body with baby hairs, why is regrowing hair so difficult to do?
Hair loss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Ru58841 ruined my life. Here’s why.
User experienced shortness of breath, high blood pressure, red eyes, and eye floaters after using RU58841 for hair loss. They warn others to avoid RU58841 and stick to finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride.
community Did Scientists Just Cure Baldness? UCLA’s New Molecule Could Revolutionize Hair Growth
PP405 shows promise for hair growth but may need continuous use like Minoxidil. Current treatments include Minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride, with skepticism about a true cure due to financial interests.
community Hair Transplant Progress / 3500 Grafts, 9 months on fin and oral minoxidil, should I switch to dut?
The conversation is about someone's hair transplant progress after 9 months on finasteride and oral minoxidil, considering switching to dutasteride. Specific treatments mentioned include hair transplant, finasteride, oral minoxidil, and a potential switch to dutasteride.
