    GlossaryHair Follicle Regeneration

    process of repairing or renewing damaged hair follicles

    Hair Follicle Regeneration refers to the process by which damaged or inactive hair follicles are repaired or renewed, allowing them to produce new hair. This can occur naturally through the body's own healing mechanisms or be stimulated through medical treatments and therapies, such as stem cell therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, or certain medications. This process is crucial for addressing conditions like alopecia and other forms of hair loss.

      The user has been using a combination of finasteride and minoxidil for 5 months and is considering adding dutasteride due to slow progress. They plan to alternate between oral finasteride and dutasteride to save costs and are advised to continue the treatment for more time, possibly adding tretinoin, while considering a hair transplant if results remain unsatisfactory.

      community How Does Exosome Therapy Work for Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  5 upvotes 1 year ago
      Exosome hair therapy involves injecting stem cell-derived exosomes into the scalp to boost hair follicle regeneration and repair. Exosomes, which are not stem cells but products of them, contain bioactive chemicals and specific growth factors that promote new blood vessel formation, increase cell proliferation, reduce inflammation, and improve tissue repair, all crucial for hair health.

      community Am I missing something with pp405?

      in Research/Science  37 upvotes 8 months ago
      PP405 is discussed as a potential hair growth stimulant, possibly more effective than minoxidil, but not a cure for hair loss. There is skepticism about its ability to regrow "deadzones," and concerns about its impact on those with hair transplants.
