PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
community Finally, some real breakthroughs. A comparison of the two leading baldness treatments: PP405 versus ABS-201
PP405 and ABS-201 are promising treatments for male pattern baldness. PP405 shows rapid hair growth in human trials, while ABS-201 shows significant regrowth in animal studies but is still in early human trials.
community Taiwan scientists used naturally derived fatty acids serum to regrow hairs (in mice <.<)
A serum with oleic and palmitoleic acids shows promise for hair regrowth in mice, but its effectiveness in humans is unproven. Minoxidil and finasteride remain the recommended treatments.
community Phase II topical dut study - outperforms oral fin with a minor DHT reduction
Topical dutasteride 0.05% is more effective for hair growth than oral finasteride 1mg, with minimal DHT reduction. The formulation uses castor oil and MCTs for better absorption but is not widely available until 2028.
community How is there zero improvement with finding the cure?
Hair loss treatments have not advanced since 2018, with finasteride, minoxidil, and RU58841 still being the main options. A permanent cure is unlikely due to the profitability of ongoing treatments.
