5 / 674 resultscommunity Do hair follicles dies or are dormant ?
Hair follicles can be dormant and potentially revived with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, but irreversible loss occurs if certain structures are destroyed. Early intervention is more effective, and additional methods like microneedling may help.
community How many years can we expect PP405 to be on the market
PP405 is expected to be on the market between 2027 and 2030, with phase 3 trials starting in 2026. There is skepticism about its fast-tracking due to its cosmetic nature, and it may appear on the gray market sooner.
community HairClone developing cell replacement treatments for Hair Loss
HairClone is developing cell replacement treatments to rejuvenate and generate hair follicles, and has launched a crowdfunding campaign. A user expressed skepticism about the need for crowdfunding.
community Verteporfin and Microneedling
by

in Treatments 1 year ago Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community The truth about Dutasteride (w/ sources)
The effectiveness of Dutasteride compared to Finasteride in treating hair loss, with evidence given such as studies and experiences, as well as discussion around whether one should switch from Finasteride to Dutasteride. There is also a discussion on post-Dutasteride syndrome.
