Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
community New Study: PP405, developed by Pelage Pharmaceuticals, can reactivate dormant hair follicle stem cells and stimulate natural hair growth by 20%
PP405, developed by Pelage Pharmaceuticals, can reactivate dormant hair follicle stem cells and increase hair growth by 20% in eight weeks, unlike minoxidil or finasteride. However, skepticism remains about its effectiveness and availability, with concerns about funding and the timeline for broader access.
community Is There Any Chance Of Cancer In Follicle Neogenesis through Microneedling?
The conversation discusses concerns about the potential risk of cancer from creating new hair follicles through microneedling, due to stem cell division. Specific treatments mentioned include microneedling, caffeine-containing anti-hair loss shampoos, and other unspecified topicals.
community September 2021 update from Dr. Kang-Yell Choi [Korean "cure"]
Dr. Kang-Yell Choi's company, CK Regeon, is developing a drug called KY19382 for hair regeneration, which involves creating fine wounds to activate stem cells. The drug is in the formulation development stage, targeting markets like the US and Korea.
community PP405: The Ultimate Hair Loss Drug for Complete Hair Growth
PP405 is a new hair loss treatment in phase 2 trials that may promote hair growth by increasing lactate production and activating hair follicle stem cells. It could potentially replace hormone-disrupting treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride.
