5 / 1000+ resultscommunity I am a dermatologist with a clinical interest in alopecia. AMA
In this conversation, 4990 discussed various treatments for hair loss, including oral minoxidil, PRP, transplan, Jak inhibitors, Dutasteride, Finasteride, Olumiant, Ketoconazole, RU58841, microneedling, baricitinib, and CCCA. They recommended scalp biopsies in unclear cases of DUPA, twice weekly to twice daily shampooing for topical minoxidil users, and two sessions spaced one month apart with follow up at month three to determine the effectiveness of PRP treatment.
community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
community Quote from Pelage (PP-405) Spokesperson...
Pelage is developing a topical hair follicle stem cell therapy, PP405, for non-scarring alopecias like androgenetic alopecia, with Phase III trials planned and a potential market launch by 2027. The treatment may not require continuous use after initial regrowth.
community Wanted to say that Derma rolling and Pumpkin seed oil helped my crown out.
Derma rolling, pumpkin seed oil, and daily massages helped regrow weak hairs on the crown. Nizoral shampoo and yoga also contributed to reducing scalp pain and stress.
community Can we get a reality check on PP405?
PP405 is a promising hair loss treatment that may outperform minoxidil and finasteride by reviving dormant follicles and promoting significant regrowth. Results from ongoing trials are awaited, with a potential market release between 2028-2030.
