community Are these all vellus hairs that will go terminal?

5 upvotes 11 months ago

The user is using oral minoxidil, ghk-cu, and HGH for hair regrowth, noticing small vellus hairs on the crown. They avoid traditional DHT blockers like finasteride due to side effects, despite skepticism from others about the effectiveness of ghk-cu.

community New Hair Loss Cure: AMP-303 Is Back. It’s what PP405 should have been.

7 upvotes 5 months ago

AMP-303 and AMP-601 are new hair loss treatments targeting dermal papilla cells, with AMP-303 showing early efficacy in transitioning vellus hairs to terminal hairs after one injection. Further clinical trials are planned, and these treatments are seen as promising due to their biologic approach and less frequent application compared to daily 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.

in Research/Science 55 upvotes 1 year ago

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 Efficacy and Tolerability of N-Acetyl-Cysteine for Treatment of The Early-onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Men

26 upvotes 4 years ago

N-Acetyl-Cysteine (NAC) was found to improve hair parameters in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, showing increased terminal hair count and decreased vellus hair count, with good tolerability. NAC, used alone or with minoxidil, may help due to its antioxidant properties, though its effectiveness can vary among individuals.

community Vellus/miniaturized hair - when are they really too miniaturized to regrow?

16 upvotes 1 month ago

Miniaturized hair can potentially regrow unless the follicle is destroyed, with treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and lifestyle changes playing a significant role. Some users report success with additional treatments like estrogen, ketoconazole, and derma stamping, emphasizing the importance of routine and overall health.
