      community Stem-cell hair transplants! 20k lab grown grafts from one single graft

      in Chat  49 upvotes 2 years ago
      Stem-cell hair transplants could potentially create thousands of grafts from a single donor graft, offering a solution for hair loss with DHT-resistant hair. Companies like Stemson Therapeutics and OrganTech are working on this technology, which may become available in the future, possibly reducing the cost and making it widely accessible.

      community Why do some people (specially those with diffuse balding) experience more regrowth just with DHT blockers?

      in Chat  41 upvotes 7 months ago
      Diffuse thinners often experience more hair regrowth with DHT blockers like finasteride, possibly due to less DHT sensitivity and the presence of miniaturized, not completely bald, follicles. However, regrowth varies widely among individuals, influenced by factors like genetics, the stage of hair loss, and treatment methods such as minoxidil, microneedling, and dermarolling.

      community Does This Invalidate PP405 Completely?

      community PP405 mechanism question - looking for discussion

      in Treatment  7 upvotes 1 week ago
      PP405 may promote short-term hair growth by pushing follicles into the growth phase, but concerns exist about long-term effects due to lack of rest phases. Users discuss various treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, spironolactone, alfatradiol, and investigational drugs like KX-826 and GT20029 for hair maintenance and regrowth.

      community A Short Recap on PP405 and AAD 2026

      in Update 1 week ago
      PP405 is a promising experimental topical treatment for alopecia that reactivates dormant hair follicles by targeting cellular energy, with large-scale trials planned for 2026. While it shows potential, it cannot regenerate permanently destroyed follicles, making hair transplants the only guaranteed solution for advanced baldness currently.

      community Hair follicle neogenesis

       6 upvotes 10 years ago
      A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.

      community Brainstorming: upping your dermarolling game

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation is about enhancing dermarolling for hair loss by using topical peptides like tb-500 or GHK-Cu to aid in healing and hair growth, and whether anyone has experienced significant results from this method.

      community Is there any new drug that looks promising ?

      in Research/Science  25 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses GT20029, a drug in Phase II trials that targets androgen receptors with minimal systemic effects, and TDM-105795, a growth stimulant with a different mechanism than minoxidil that may revive papilla stem cells. Both are potential new treatments for hair loss.

      community Whats the deal with TDM-105795?

      in Research/Science  4 upvotes 1 month ago
      TDM-105795 is a potential hair growth stimulant that works differently from minoxidil and could be used alongside it for enhanced growth. It completed phase 2 trials in 2024, with a medium to high chance of release in 2026, but lacks recent updates or phase 3 trial information.

      community Found a slide summary for PP405

      in Research/Science  35 upvotes 2 weeks ago
      PP405 shows promise in stimulating new terminal hair growth by activating dormant follicles, with no systemic adverse effects observed in a short-term trial. However, long-term efficacy remains unproven, and further trials are needed to confirm its potential as a hair loss treatment.

      community Hot Take: Betting on PP405 can backfire

      in Research/Science  82 upvotes 9 months ago
      PP405 is seen as promising but uncertain, with users advised to continue using existing treatments like minoxidil and finasteride. Concerns include its cost, availability, and interaction with hair transplants, while some hope it could complement current treatments.

      community Potential Cure?! Verteporfin- unlimited HT

      in Research/Science  41 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses verteporfin as a potential treatment for hair regeneration, which could lead to unlimited hair transplants by healing the donor area. Some users are considering using verteporfin now, while others are hopeful it will be available for future hair transplants.

      community Some good news for the future.

      in Research/Science  101 upvotes 1 year ago

      in Research/Science  10 upvotes 7 months ago
      The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.

      community New molecule PP405 vs exercise

      in Research/Science  37 upvotes 1 year ago
      PP405 targets hair follicle stem cells differently than exercise-induced lactate, suggesting exercise alone may not replicate its benefits. Minoxidil and finasteride are recommended alongside exercise for hair regrowth, with additional suggestions like spicy food and infrared exposure.
