5 / 66 resultscommunity The Cure isn't 5 years away; it's already here.
PP405 is a new topical treatment for hair loss, showing promise in trials but still requires finasteride for maintenance. There is skepticism about its effectiveness and safety, with concerns about needing finasteride to maintain results.
community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
community Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently
A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.
community Hair Cloning Nears Reality as Baldness Cure - Nov 4, 2004
Hair cloning was predicted to be a baldness cure within 3-4 years in 2004, but it has not materialized. Users express frustration and skepticism about the delay.
community Say this new supposed miracle drug “PP405” does actually cure baldness, how will that affect people with hair transplants?
PP405 may reactivate dormant hair follicles but won't replace hair transplants or resurrect dead follicles. Its effectiveness, cost, and impact compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are uncertain.
