Stress causes hair loss by making the body produce cortisol, which stops hair cells from growing.

5 / 720 resultscommunity PP405 Won’t Work: Follicle Is Miniaturized, Fibrosed, And Missing Key Support Cells
PP405 is ineffective for miniaturized, fibrosed hair follicles in androgenetic alopecia. AMP303 may activate hair follicle stem cells, but minoxidil and finasteride are still the main treatments.
community Confused why people are calling PP405 a cure...it never claimed to be able to undo miniaturization or revert vellus back to terminal hairs. It seems to be more of a growth stimulant like minoxidil.
PP405 is not a cure for hair loss but may reactivate dormant hair follicles, similar to minoxidil. It is unlikely to help with miniaturized or vellus hairs and is still in trial phases, with availability expected around 2030.
community Why do some hairs come back from Finasteride, but others only come back with Minoxidil?
Finasteride and minoxidil are used together for hair regrowth, as finasteride blocks DHT and minoxidil enhances blood flow. Some hair types require both treatments for regrowth, while others may only need one.
community Can pp405 revive dead follicles for long time bald people? Are those even dead? After 10+ years bald
PP405 may revive dormant hair follicles but is unlikely to help with long-term baldness where follicles are replaced by scar tissue. It is seen as a potential adjunct to treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but its effectiveness on deeply fibrotic or scarred areas is doubtful.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
