Physiology of Development of the Feather V: Experimental Morphogenesis

PP405 is seen as a potential breakthrough for converting vellus hairs to terminal hairs, with users expressing both hope and skepticism. It is compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, with discussions on side effects and marketing concerns.

User has been using topical finasteride and minoxidil since May, previously used a spray version since January. They are seeing vellus hairs and have added weekly microneedling to their routine.

A user plans to experiment with creating new hair follicles using methods like derma rolling, applying lithium chloride, tannic acid, and various other substances including caffeine, ketoconazole, and raspberry ketones. They also consider using anti-inflammatories, immunosuppressants, and DHT inhibitors to potentially improve results.

Exploring the idea of using facial hair properties for scalp regeneration in male pattern baldness, considering the potential of transferring androgen-resistant characteristics from facial hair to the scalp. Challenges include complexity, scalability, aesthetics, and safety, but the concept encourages innovative thinking beyond current treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and hair transplants.

The post discusses a theory that hair regrowth after transplant is due to the angiogenesis process (new blood vessels forming), not because the transplanted hair is unaffected by DHT. The responses highlight the established belief in 'donor dominance' (the importance of the hair's origin in transplantation) and skepticism about the new theory.
