5 / 339 resultscommunity Reminder: NURTURE those dormant hair follicles for as long as you can until PP405 comes out in 2028-2030
PP405 is anticipated as a future treatment for dormant hair follicles, but its effectiveness and safety are uncertain. Current treatments include oral minoxidil and microneedling, with some avoiding finasteride due to side effects.
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.
community Does microneedling regrow hair on dormant bald regions which have been bald for many years?
Microneedling may help regrow hair in dormant bald regions by stimulating stem cell transfer. Users discuss its effectiveness and how collagen might aid in the process.
community How do you distinguish miniaturised hairs from velus hairs regrowing from dormant follicles around temples?
The conversation discusses difficulty in distinguishing between new hair growth and thinning hair at the temples after using microneedling and a rosemary peppermint topical for four weeks. The advice given is to wait a few months to see if the hairs grow out to determine their nature.
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.
