Did you mean Hair Follicle Regeneration?

GlossaryHair Follicle Regeneration

process of repairing or renewing damaged hair follicles

Hair Follicle Regeneration refers to the process by which damaged or inactive hair follicles are repaired or renewed, allowing them to produce new hair. This can occur naturally through the body's own healing mechanisms or be stimulated through medical treatments and therapies, such as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or certain medications. This process is crucial for addressing conditions like alopecia and other forms of hair loss.

community Can microneedling damage existing hair?

in Microneedling 9 upvotes 11 months ago

Microneedling is unlikely to damage existing hair if done with a device using a smaller needle count, like a 9-needle cartridge, and a stamping motion. Hair follicles are deeper than the typical needle penetration depth.

community Nanoxidil Is Probably Better Than Minoxidil. Big Pharma Is Why You’ve Never Heard Of It.

in Research/Science 4 months ago

Nanoxidil may be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss due to better follicle penetration, but it lacks widespread recognition and research because it's owned by a small company and classified as a cosmetic. The pharmaceutical system favors Minoxidil due to its established market presence and profitability, leaving Nanoxidil largely unstudied and unknown.

community We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 2 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Is the “crunching” sound during microneedling my scalp actually the needles cutting through hair?

in Microneedling 165 upvotes 4 months ago

The "crunching" sound during microneedling is likely the needles penetrating the scalp's outer layers, not cutting hair. Users suggest using a derma stamp instead of a roller to avoid potential hair damage.

community Pelage PP405: New Hair Growth from Inactive Follicular Units - Phase 2a results at AAD 2026

in Research/Science 1067 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405, a topical treatment, shows promise for hair growth by activating inactive follicles, with 66% of participants experiencing positive results. The treatment is well-tolerated and may proceed directly to Phase 3 trials, offering a potential alternative to minoxidil and finasteride.
