PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
community I have not seen a single person who claims dutasteride destroyed their hair post a picture of the before/after
The conversation discusses skepticism around claims that dutasteride worsens hair loss, with some users suggesting misinformation or panic during shedding as reasons for such claims. One user shared their negative experience with dutasteride, including increased sebum production and hair loss, and is now considering a higher dose of oral minoxidil after stopping dutasteride.
community Clearing the air on how non-surgical treatments really work
Treatments for hair loss, including finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, ketoconazole, microneedling, and low level laser light therapy, which aim to reduce DHT production, increase cell absorption and blood flow, and stimulate epidermal stem cells. It also stresses the importance of patience when using these treatments.
