research The presence of insulin resistance and comparison of various insulin sensivity indices in women with androgenetic alopecia.

7 citations , May 2007 in “PubMed”

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

31 upvotes 11 months ago

PP405 may not need daily use like minoxidil, but finasteride might still be needed to maintain hair regrowth. PP405 reawakens dormant hair follicles, potentially offering a long-term solution, though not a permanent cure.
