research Getting under the skin of hair aging: the impact of the hair follicle environment
This review discusses age-related changes in scalp skin and their potential effects on hair follicle aging, but reports no new clinical results, calling for further investigation.
research Effect of applying Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum N793 to the scalps of men and women with thinning hair: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study
In this study, researchers found that while applying a lotion containing Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum N793 did not improve hair density overall compared to placebo, it was effective in improving hair density among individuals with relatively mild hair thinning.
research Using platelet-rich plasma to treat hair loss and thinning
This abstract discusses the potential of platelet-rich plasma as a promising solution for hair loss and thinning, highlighting its efficiency, safety, and reproducibility compared to traditional treatments like hair grafts.
research Histopathology of aging of the hair follicle
This review discusses the changes in hair follicles with aging, particularly graying due to decreased melanocyte activity, and suggests potential for hair repigmentation under certain conditions, but reports no new results.

7 / 801 results- How does Platelet help reactivate dormant hair follicles in men and women with thinning hair? Platelet-Rich Plasma reactivates dormant hair follicles by delivering growth factors that stimulate hair growth.
- How does microneedling boost hair growth in thinning areas of the scalp? Microneedling boosts hair growth by stimulating follicle activity and enhancing blood flow.
- Can applying a mask with PP405 directly to thinning areas give your scalp the push it needs? No PP405 mask exists to test: PP405 is an experimental topical gel from Pelage Pharmaceuticals that inhibits the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier, it is not an anti-DHT ingredient, and it is not on sale. Its registered Phase 2 trial (NCT06393452) measured safety, not regrowth, and a rinse-out mask is in any case the wrong format for reaching the follicle.
- What is an FUE hair transplant? FUE hair transplant extracts individual hair follicles for a minimally invasive, natural-looking result.
- What is Scalp Micropigmentation and how does it help people with visible hair loss? Scalp Micropigmentation creates the illusion of hair follicles on the scalp for visible hair loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity What are we thinking about this SCUBE3 boys
SCUBE3 is a promising new molecule that can restart hair growth by reawakening dormant hair follicles. Users express skepticism about its availability timeline, with some hoping for release by 2026.
community 18M Diffuse thinning with 7ng/mL Vit D. Is it just the deficiency or is 0.5mg Fin mandatory?
An 18-year-old with diffuse hair thinning is considering switching from a topical Minoxidil 10% + Finasteride 0.1% solution to Minoxidil 5% foam and oral Finasteride 0.5mg, while also addressing vitamin D deficiency and potential scalp inflammation. Users suggest using Nizoral shampoo for inflammation, considering dutasteride for better results, and maintaining vitamin D levels to protect hair follicles from DHT.
community Stopped on fin, diffuse thinner, white hairs meaning
The user stopped using finasteride and noticed diffuse thinning and white hairs on the crown, considering restarting finasteride and adding minoxidil. White hairs are miniaturized follicles that may regain pigment and thickness with treatment, and it's suggested to wait 12 months before considering a hair transplant.
community Would you consider this regrowth?
A 31-year-old male experiencing hair thinning since age 25-26 uses minoxidil, finasteride, a red laser cap, and microneedling to promote hair growth. Users suggest reducing microneedling frequency to once a week to avoid damaging hair follicles.
community 3 months fin/min progress (age 31)
A user shared their 3-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride daily and 5% topical minoxidil twice daily, along with Pura D’Or anti-thinning shampoo and a scalp massager. They noticed initial worsening but later saw hair follicle recovery.
