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

Complete regrowth is rare, especially in long-term bald areas, but some individuals see significant improvement with these treatments.
community A better treatment would be a localized 5ar inhibitor that breaks down when it enters blood or leaves hair follicle
The conversation discusses the need for a localized 5-alpha reductase inhibitor that only affects the scalp without systemic side effects, similar to pyrilutamide's approach. Current treatments like topical liposomal finasteride and dutasteride are mentioned, but concerns about their systemic effects and lack of research are highlighted.
community It’s really unfortunate the CB-03-01 is so expensive.
