8 / 801 results- Heard alopecia areata leaves scar-like spots? Some peptides are helping those areas regrow hair. Alopecia areata patches usually still have living follicles. Peptides are being studied as a possible add-on, but the evidence is small and early. See a dermatologist for treatment.
- What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
- Struggling with patchy hair loss like alopecia areata? Baicapil might help by reducing inflammation and reactivating growth. There is no published trial of Baicapil in alopecia areata. The anti-inflammatory and hair-density claims come from the ingredient's manufacturer and from laboratory work on its plant extracts, in people with androgenetic-type hair loss rather than autoimmune patchy hair loss.
- Does microneedling help with all types of alopecia, or only androgenic alopecia? Microneedling is most effective for androgenic alopecia, with limited evidence for other types.
- Got small bald patches they say are from stress? PP405 sprays could help bring them back to life. PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier; its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) tested it once daily in 78 adults with pattern hair loss, for safety and tolerability. It is not approved, not for sale, and has not been studied in alopecia areata or stress-related shedding.
