PP405 is a new topical treatment for hair loss, showing promise in trials but still requires finasteride for maintenance. There is skepticism about its effectiveness and safety, with concerns about needing finasteride to maintain results.
community UCLA scientists found a molecule — PP405 — that wakes up sleeping hair follicles and tells them, “Do your job.”
PP405 is a promising molecule that may reactivate dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a new treatment for hair loss. It is in phase 2 trials, with possible availability between 2027 and 2030.
community "Hair Follicle Stem Cells are quiescent 99% of the time and permanently reside in the hair follicle"
Hair follicles are mostly dormant but can be reactivated with treatments like minoxidil, finasteride, and microneedling. A new drug, PP405, shows promise for hair regrowth but may not be available until 2027-2028.
community How true is the statement: dead follicles don't grow back?
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 Say this new supposed miracle drug “PP405” does actually cure baldness, how will that affect people with hair transplants?
PP405 may reactivate dormant hair follicles but won't replace hair transplants or resurrect dead follicles. Its effectiveness, cost, and impact compared to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are uncertain.
