The mechanism of androgenic alopecia Research/Science 10/2/2025
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.
community 6 months on dutast and minoxodil, hair growing like weeds now!
A woman experienced significant hair regrowth after six months of using dutasteride and minoxidil, despite initial hair loss due to androgenetic alopecia. She reported minimal side effects and highlighted the effectiveness of these treatments for women, despite doctors' hesitancy to prescribe them.
community PP405 Drug in Action: Picture From Official Company Website
PP405 shows promise for hair follicle reactivation with minimal side effects. Users recommend continuing Minoxidil and Finasteride until more results are confirmed.
community Pelage, PP405, is creating a database for potential new trial volunteers
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment targeting dormant hair follicles, with ongoing trials. Some users consider stopping finasteride and minoxidil to join trials, while others doubt its effectiveness.
