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 We already know how to permanently fix hair loss. The science is done. The only thing missing is the funding to run one experiment.

in Technology 613 upvotes 4 months ago

A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.

community Oral Minoxidil Is Turning Me Into a Gorilla

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.

learn Hair Transplant

Hair transplantation moves DHT-resistant follicles from a donor area (back and sides of the scalp) into thinning or bald areas. The transplanted hair is generally permanent, though surrounding native hair can keep thinning.
