community Excuse me sir, would you like to hear a word about the greatest achievement in human history, finasteride?

513 upvotes 7 months ago

Finasteride and Minoxidil are popular treatments for hair loss, but opinions vary on their effectiveness and side effects. Some users report success, while others experience issues like gynecomastia or sexual dysfunction.

community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.

in Research/Science 55 upvotes 1 year ago

PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.

5 months ago

Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
