A new therapy aimed at destroying DHT receptors in the scalp is still in early trials and may take at least 5 years to become available. A sugar-like solution similar to Minoxidil is also in early testing stages and not yet commercialized.

A new topical treatment, PP405, shows promising results for hair regrowth, potentially outperforming existing treatments like finasteride and minoxidil. However, it may still need to be combined with DHT blockers for optimal results, and its long-term effectiveness remains uncertain.

Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
