Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants have side effects and limitations. There is hope for future advancements in stem cell therapy and hairfollicle regeneration, though skepticism about their effectiveness and timeline persists.
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hairfollicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
Japanese scientists discovered ABM cells, enabling successful human hairfollicle cloning, potentially curing hair loss. The treatment may be available in Japan by 2028, but it will be expensive and require travel.
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 may damage hairfollicles if used long-term, suggesting cycling might be necessary. Combining it with finasteride could help maintain hair growth.
