5 / 125 resultscommunity A Theory on Why Microneedling Works
Microneedling may enhance hair regrowth by transferring stem cells to dormant follicles, improving the effects of minoxidil. Users discuss using microneedling with needle lengths around 1.5mm to stimulate hair growth.
community Is pp405 actually the cure ? Just how exciting is it ?
PP405 is a promising hair growth stimulant but not a cure for advanced hair loss, as it may only help dormant follicles. Treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Dutasteride are discussed, with emphasis on early intervention for effectiveness.
community Minoxidil Response Bottlenecks: Why Sulfation and Transport Matter (And Where Tretinoin Fits In)
Minoxidil's effectiveness is limited by the need for sulfation and proper transport to hair follicles, with tretinoin potentially enhancing its effects by promoting enzyme activity and keratinocyte differentiation. Tretinoin may improve minoxidil's response by boosting the expression of necessary enzymes and transporters.
community Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness? Check this Out!
UCLA's PP405 shows promise in reactivating dormant hair follicles for hair loss treatment but is still in clinical trials. Minoxidil and finasteride remain common treatments until PP405 becomes available.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
