Hair transplant recipients are concerned about whether dormant follicles are permanently damaged by incisions, but some believe undamaged follicles could still regrow if a treatment like PP405 is effective. Opinions vary on the impact of transplants on original follicles, with some suggesting treatments like finasteride can help regrow hair.
Hair loss is linked to the loss of stem cells in hairfollicles, and potential treatments include gene editing and microneedling. Discussions also mention using Minoxidil, finasteride, and dermarolling to improve hair growth.
A product called "PP405 HairFollicle Serum" is being sold on Shopee, claiming to cure baldness without clinical trials or FDA approval, but users are skeptical and refer to it as "snake oil." Some users discuss testing the product's contents, while others share their experiences with hair loss treatments like finasteride.
PP405 targets hairfollicle 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.
PP405 shows promise for hairfollicle reactivation with minimal side effects. Users recommend continuing Minoxidil and Finasteride until more results are confirmed.
Breezula protects hairfollicles from both testosterone and DHT, unlike finasteride, which only protects against DHT. This could potentially lead to significant hair regrowth, similar to results seen in transgender individuals using hormone blockers.
Tretinoin can increase hairfollicles and is used alongside minoxidil and finasteride for hair growth, though it may cause skin peeling. Users report varying results, with some experiencing regrowth and others questioning its efficacy for hair.
Hair loss treatments discussed include promising Pyr available online and Verteporfin dosing after FUE for follicle regeneration, but no updates on SCUBE3.
HairClone aims to rejuvenate miniaturizing hairfollicles through follicle banking and cell expansion, with treatments potentially available in the UK by 2022. The process involves extracting, storing, and cloning hairfollicles, but full regenerative treatments will take many years to develop.
Hair loss treatment should target dermal white adipose tissue (DWAT) to restore hairfollicles. Potential remedies include tocopherol (vitamin E), botox, rosiglitazone, niacin, kojyl cinnamate esters, and ADP355.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may activate dormant hairfollicles, but there are concerns about its effectiveness, cost, and side effects. Users discuss treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, expressing skepticism about PP405's long-term success and accessibility.
Pelage is developing a topical hairfollicle stem cell therapy, PP405, for non-scarring alopecias like androgenetic alopecia, with Phase III trials planned and a potential market launch by 2027. The treatment may not require continuous use after initial regrowth.
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment targeting dormant hairfollicles, with ongoing trials. Some users consider stopping finasteride and minoxidil to join trials, while others doubt its effectiveness.
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively in hairfollicles than finasteride, but some individuals still experience hair loss despite treatment. Combining oral and topical finasteride may improve results, and some users experiment with topical dutasteride despite uncertainties about its absorption.
A potential treatment for alopecia involving a protein that calms hairfollicles has shown promise in rats, but skepticism remains about its applicability to humans. Many users express doubt about the timeline for effective hair loss treatments, comparing it to past unfulfilled promises.
A gel of keratin microspheres promotes hairfollicle growth, showing similar effectiveness to minoxidil in mice. The treatment activates hair growth pathways and reduces inflammation, with potential applications in drug delivery for hair-related disorders.
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.
PP405 shows promise in activating dormant hairfollicles and increasing hair counts but lacks detailed efficacy data compared to minoxidil and finasteride. Opinions are mixed, with some optimism and skepticism about its effectiveness.
PP405 may induce new hair growth but cannot revive completely dead follicles, and its effectiveness on hairlines is uncertain. It is expected to be available by mid-2028, but users are advised to manage expectations and consider using other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride.
PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hairfollicles, with Phase 3 trials expected. Some users are cautious, suggesting using finasteride in the meantime, while others are skeptical about PP405's effectiveness.
The user is seeking advice on preserving hairfollicles at Norwood stage 6 or 7 while waiting for new treatments. They are considering using treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, or RU58841.
Regrowth is more likely if hairfollicles are still alive, regardless of age, but younger individuals often see better results due to early intervention. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling can help, but results vary based on individual factors such as the presence of miniaturized hairs and the speed of treatment initiation.
MCL-1 protein may help maintain hairfollicles in the growth phase and prevent miniaturization. There is interest in experimental treatments like exosomes, peptides, or stem cell serums to upregulate MCL-1 for hair loss, especially for those not using minoxidil or finasteride.
Pelage Pharmaceuticals' PP405 aims to treat hair loss by reactivating dormant hairfollicle stem cells, showing promising results in early trials. The company plans to present their findings at the American Academy of Dermatology Annual Meeting in 2026.
PP405 shows promise in regenerating hair by activating dormant follicles. Other treatments like VDPHL01 and Breezula are also advancing, providing new hope for hair loss solutions.
PP405 is a promising new hair loss treatment that may reactivate dormant hairfollicles without side effects. It could surpass traditional treatments like minoxidil and finasteride if successful in further trials.
Ultrasound imaging can predict hair shedding and assess hair growth stages by analyzing hairfollicle characteristics. The conversation also discusses using ultrasound for personal hair analysis and mentions the potential use of infrared emission for hair treatment.
Hair growth can be induced without stopping DHT, as seen with Minoxidil. HMI115 may work by promoting follicle growth, not targeting the root cause of hair loss (DHT).
