research Beyond Goosebumps: Does the Arrector Pili Muscle Have a Role in Hair Loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research The Arrector Pili Muscle and the Follicular Unit of the Scalp: A Microscopic Anatomy Study
The study found that hair follicles are above muscle connections in the scalp, which may help protect stem cell areas.
research Miniaturized Hairs Maintain Contact With the Arrector Pili Muscle in Alopecia Areata but Not in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Model for Reversible Miniaturization and Potential for Hair Regrowth
Miniaturized hairs stay connected to muscle in alopecia areata, allowing possible regrowth, but not in androgenetic alopecia.
research The Microanatomy of the Distal Arrector Pili: Possible Role for α1β1 and α5β1 Integrins in Mediating Cell-Cell Adhesion and Anchorage to the Extracellular Matrix
The arrector pili muscle attaches to the extracellular matrix using α5β1 integrin and connects muscle cells using α1β1 integrin.

5 / 32 resultscommunity induce goosebumps to reverse hairloss
The conversation humorously discusses inducing goosebumps to potentially reverse hair loss, with mentions of using cold therapy and muscle exercises. It also references other unconventional ideas like removing a testicle to lower DHT.
community Hair theory Scar tissue and Verteporfin
A user suggests that deeper microneedling with Verteporfin injections might help regrow hair in areas with scar tissue, alongside a DHT blocker. Another user explains that hair loss might be due to reduced Wnt/β-Catenin signaling and suggests that treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and microneedling could potentially reverse it.
community Why do some hairs come back from Finasteride, but others only come back with Minoxidil?
Finasteride and minoxidil are used together for hair regrowth, as finasteride blocks DHT and minoxidil enhances blood flow. Some hair types require both treatments for regrowth, while others may only need one.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
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 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.
