New hair loss treatment upgrade: Minoxidil Sulfate in a hydrogel-emulsion. These images are from our Chinese pharmacy partner. They worked on products like L’Oreal’s Stemoxydine at one point. #hairloss #hairgrowth #alopecia #biohacking Preorder link: folligenz.com/products/sulfo… (global shipping)

🚨 SEVERE HAIR LOSS → THIS MUCH CHANGE. These photos are labelled 2 and 14 months on HRT. Their reported treatment history included estradiol, spironolactone, progesterone, oral finasteride followed by dutasteride, oral + topical minoxidil, and microneedling. In androgenetic alopecia, DHT activates androgen receptors in genetically susceptible follicles, gradually driving them to produce smaller, finer hairs. Reducing that androgen signal can help some follicles recover. One approach is to inhibit 5α-reductase, the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT. Finasteride and dutasteride work here. Reducing testosterone also reduces the raw material available to make DHT. But suppressing testosterone is an UNFAVORABLE trade-off for hair loss alone when those broader hormonal changes aren’t wanted. Another approach is to block the androgen receptor. Investigational GT20029 takes a different approach: getting cells to break down the receptor protein itself. That removes the protein, but doesn’t permanently delete its gene. Estrogens may also help support anagen, the active growth phase, although their direct effects on human scalp follicles are complex. This case cannot tell us how much estrogen contributed. The research opportunity: an estrogen treatment that stays active mainly in the scalp but rapidly becomes inactive once it reaches the bloodstream. If proven safe and effective, that could help a lot of people while limiting hormonal effects elsewhere. Their starting hair loss was severe, so complete restoration wasn’t something to count on. There’s substantial visible improvement, but frontal recession remains. Meaningful partial recovery can still matter, and these photos don’t establish their final regrowth limit. One person, several treatments. Longer hair, styling and lighting also affect coverage, so we can’t isolate what did what.

Topical minoxidil sulfate has a much longer history than most people realize and at @folligenz we’re up next to continue the development of this hair loss product class. Preorder here: folligenz.com/products/sulfo… As far back as 2007, the German company Sinere was offering Nanominox-MS, a topical minoxidil sulfate formulation, alongside its ethosome-based Nanominox products. Furthermore, minoxidil sulfate has been commonly used in the Brazilian compounding market for nearly 10 years. We can also thank Dr. Ralph Trüeb for helping validate the topical minoxidil sulfate concept in Switzerland. His published clinical research demonstrated promising results with a 5% minoxidil sulfate formulation incorporating Hamamelis.swiss HAIR TONIC (Apomedica Sagl, Switzerland). Now, we’re taking SulfoGenz further. For our new SulfoGenz formulation, we’ve reduced the price per mL while increasing the quantity from 60mL to 90mL. That’s 50% more product per bottle at a lower price per mL. Buy 1 and the next is 50% off in price. So for $130 USD you get around 6 months worth of use. We’ve also partnered with a manufacturing partner in China whose team previously worked on L’Oréal Stemoxydine products. The new formulation will be shipped directly from China. Our goal remains the same: continue improving the formulation while making SulfoGenz more affordable and accessible. More quantity. Better value. A new generation of SulfoGenz. #hairgrowth #peptides #minoxidil #minoxidilsulfate #hairloss #looksmaxxing #alopecia #pharma #science #cosmetics #biohacker

🧪 HAIR LOSS SCIENCE 🧪 MINOXIDIL SULFATE. THE ACTIVE FORM DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK. “I AM SO FUCKING BACK BOYS.” That was the caption on this Sulfogenz customer's reported one year update. Look at the dates: December 3, 2025 was his MONTH TWO update. October 19, 2026 was the ONE YEAR update. Each shows dry and wet hair. Compare dry with dry and wet with wet, not the two views from one visit as a before and after. The later photos show fuller looking crown coverage. His record also includes a difficult shedding period in August. This was not a perfectly smooth progression. We make Sulfogenz. Our newer Prime product contains 5% minoxidil sulfate in a gel emulsion. But the scientific reason to investigate sulfate is real: it is the active metabolite that ordinary minoxidil is converted into. Here is the customer story, the published research and the testing material, with each kept in its proper place. 🧵 Product details: folligenz.com/products/sulfo… #HairLoss #MinoxidilSulfate #peptides #pharma #biotech #science #biohacker #pharma #hairgrowth

7/8 AND HERE IS THE ACTUAL LAB RECORD. The screenshot identifies our Sulfogenz minoxidil sulfate EMULSION sample, its lot information, 28 bottles, a 60 mL bottle specification and scheduled testing entries. The concentration displayed is 10%. Our original sample stayed stable for around a year at room temperature. doi.org/10.1159/000488011 #HairLoss #MinoxidilSulfate #peptides #pharma #biotech #science #biohacker

8/8 THIS IS WHY WE ARE BUILDING AROUND MINOXIDIL SULFATE. There is an established activation mechanism. There are human reports worth following up. And there is a clear formulation problem to work on, rather than just another ingredient to add to a label. Sulfogenz Prime is our new 5% minoxidil sulfate gel emulsion in a 90 mL pump bottle. We’ve worked to reduce the price and increase our mL amount. The formulation and application experience are part of the product, not an afterthought. The customer story is encouraging. The published studies explain the scientific rationale. Neither replaces controlled testing of the finished product. We are not promising “14 times more hair,” guaranteed recovery or the response rate of someone else's study. We are inviting you to look at the ingredient, the formulation and the evidence behind the idea. Explore Sulfogenz Prime and the current product information: folligenz.com/products/sulfo… For persistent hair loss or a poor response to treatment, discuss your diagnosis and options with a qualified healthcare professional rather than assuming every case needs a stronger bottle. #HairLoss #MinoxidilSulfate #Sulfogenz #peptides #pharma #biotech #science #biohacker

When you pay for art meant for your brand…it is YOURS. Idk where you got the idea from that the artist he originally commissioned owns and decides what he does with his own brand. Very odd mindset to have.
"In his style" the design of his sona was stolen from Ashley Niccols, without her consent btw

Yet another example of long term Finasteride results. 10 years. #looksmaxxing #finasteride #hairloss #peptides
40歳→50歳。 これからあと10年。 どれだけ毛量をキープできるか。 できればフィナ・ミノキシジルでキープしていきたいものです。

🚨 HAIR TRANSPLANT WARNING 🚨 YOU’RE BOOKING SURGERY. NOT A HOLIDAY. A patient posting about Vera Clinic in Istanbul says that EIGHT WEEKS after surgery, he was still experiencing pain, bleeding and discharge. He reports needing independent medical care and missing weeks of work. Then comes the part that really bothers me. He alleges that a proposed refund required signing a confidentiality agreement preventing him from publicly discussing his experience, with a threatened €15,000 claim if he breached it. These are the patient’s allegations. The screenshots alone cannot establish what caused the injury or who was responsible. But the warning is simple: a polished Instagram page is not enough. WHO is actually performing your surgery? What are their qualifications? Who takes responsibility for your care when something goes wrong after you fly home? Ask those questions BEFORE paying a deposit. Not while trying to get someone to answer your messages afterward. You’re paying for medical care, not just a before and after photo. #HairTransplant #HairLoss #PatientSafety #peptides #hairloss #hairgrowth #hair #alopecia
