community Microneedling must reach the stem cells in the upper hair shaft

82 upvotes 4 years ago

Microneedling should target depths of 0.5mm to 1.5mm for hair loss, with weekly sessions at 1mm recommended. Combining microneedling with Minoxidil is common for improved results.

community My Idea for a possible new hairloss treatment

53 upvotes 6 years ago

Exploring a potential hair loss treatment using the enzyme AKR1C2 to locally reduce DHT levels. Challenges include enzyme delivery through the skin and high production costs, with gene therapy or stem cells suggested as future alternatives.

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

112 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community Will PP405 need to be used indefinitely, like minoxidil?
