research Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma on Hair Follicle Count and Hair Ratios in Androgenic Alopecia: Alone or Combined with Other Treatments
PRP improves hair growth in androgenic alopecia, especially when combined with minoxidil.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How do you distinguish miniaturised hairs from velus hairs regrowing from dormant follicles around temples?
The conversation discusses difficulty in distinguishing between new hair growth and thinning hair at the temples after using microneedling and a rosemary peppermint topical for four weeks. The advice given is to wait a few months to see if the hairs grow out to determine their nature.
community Do hair follicles ever really "die"? Or does all your front, mid, and crown hair just become vellus?
Hair follicles don't truly die but become severely miniaturized. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can help restore hair by providing nutrients and reducing harmful effects on hair roots.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community How common is serious regrowth for people 35yrs old and up?
Regrowth is more likely if hair follicles 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.
community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
