PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.
community Verteporfin and KY19382 experiment
The conversation discusses an experiment involving hair loss treatments, including the use of Verteporfin, KY19382, dutasteride, oral and topical minoxidil, AHK-Cu, and microneedling. The experiment aims to test the effectiveness of these treatments in promoting hair growth and healing without scarring, with updates planned every few months.
community Summary of future treatments from 2020
Hair loss treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, dutasteride, CB-03-01, RU-58841, and experimental options like KY-19382 and stem cell therapy. Some treatments are considered ineffective or risky, such as ketoconazole, PRP, and low-level laser therapy.
