      community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?

      Hair follicles usually go dormant rather than die, and treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hormone therapy can sometimes reactivate them, though results vary. Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.

      Redensyl is a plant-based treatment that may support hair regrowth by reactivating dormant follicles and improving hair density, especially in early-stage thinning. It is not a miracle cure and results vary; it is less proven than Minoxidil or Finasteride and may cause scalp irritation.

      PP405 is the most promising future treatment for hair loss, aiming to reactivate dormant hair follicles. Clascoterone 5% is the most promising near-term drug, while current strategies include using finasteride or dutasteride to stabilize hair loss and minoxidil to stimulate growth.

      community Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  92 upvotes 1 year ago
      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.
