PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles, and DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride could maintain new hair. Combining PP405 with minoxidil might be optimal, but long-term effects and continuous use are uncertain.
community How does testosterone and dht work?
Hair loss is influenced by follicle sensitivity to DHT, which increases with age, rather than just testosterone levels. Treatments like finasteride and hair transplants are used to manage hair loss, with transplants needing medication to protect surrounding sensitive hair.
community Why do Hair Transplant procedures take a rectangle from the donated area?
Hair transplants typically involve spreading follicle extraction across the back and sides of the head to maintain an even appearance, rather than taking a solid rectangle of grafts. FUT procedures, which involve taking a strip of skin, are less common now due to advancements in techniques like FUE, which heal well and are less invasive.
community Dht kills hair, but no one says why?
DHT affects hair follicles, contributing to hair loss, but the exact mechanism is unclear. Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss, though they may have side effects and varying effectiveness.

community Say this new supposed miracle drug “PP405” does actually cure baldness, how will that affect people with hair transplants?
PP405 may reactivate dormant hair follicles but won't replace hair transplants or resurrect dead follicles. Its effectiveness, cost, and impact compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are uncertain.
