PP405 is a new hair loss treatment showing early promise with a 20% hair density increase, but skepticism exists due to past failures of similar treatments like Pyrilutamide, RU58841, and Bimatoprost. Users debate its potential effectiveness, with some hopeful due to Google's involvement, while others urge caution without more evidence.
community Looking for a hair transplant? I made a clinic 'Red Flag' list. Need your feedback
Selecting a hair transplant clinic requires avoiding pitfalls like prioritizing quantity over quality and aggressive sales tactics. Ensure the clinic uses experienced surgeons and recommends treatments like minoxidil and finasteride before a transplant.
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 An argument for why we should take topical Dutasteride seriously
Topical Dutasteride may halt hair loss and effectively treat androgenic alopecia. Combining low-dose oral Dutasteride with topical application could maximize regrowth and minimize side effects.
community COMPLETE OVERVIEW of the Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in men
Male androgenetic alopecia is commonly treated with topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, both requiring continuous use. Other options include hair restoration surgery, dutasteride, light therapy, and camouflaging agents.
