Basal cell carcinoma may start from parts of tiny hair follicles.

Adult human skin can grow new fine hair follicles after a deep exfoliation treatment.

Merkel cells are abundant in facial vellus hair follicles, especially during the anagen phase.
research 561 Vellus-to-terminal hair follicle reconversion does occur in male pattern balding in a new humanized mouse model of androgenetic alopecia and is promoted by minoxidil and PRP
Minoxidil and PRP can help convert miniaturized hair follicles back to normal in male pattern baldness.

5 / 755 resultscommunity 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 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 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 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.
community if hair follicle miniaturization happens slowly and gradually over a few hair cycles then wouldn't that mean that to regain maximum or top thickness from treatment you would at least need 5-10 years?
Hair regrowth from treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil can take several years, with most visible results appearing within 1-2 years and potential improvements continuing up to 10 years. Consistency and patience are crucial for achieving maximum hair thickness, as hair miniaturization and regrowth are gradual processes.
