PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
community Finasteride can revive up to 7 year old dead hair
Finasteride and minoxidil can revive hair dormant for up to 7 years, with microneedling enhancing regrowth. Users report significant hair regrowth even after long periods of baldness.
community If PP405 does revive "dead" hair follicles would DHT blockers theoretically be enough to maintain that new hair
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles, and DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride could maintain new hair. Combining PP405 with minoxidil might be optimal, but long-term effects and continuous use are uncertain.
community New baby hairs are popping out. Question though: what are these black dots on hairline? Clogged pores?
The user is experiencing new hair growth after using oral dutasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, but is concerned about black dots on the hairline, which might be clogged pores or dormant follicles. The user previously used a topical minoxidil/finasteride spray and had good results, despite a shedding phase after switching treatments.
