I think Rapamycin alone is not enough.
As far as I can understand it activates autophagy throughout the body, but the body usually does not seem to prioritize repair/healing of hair because it is not essential for survival. Especially when you have chronic pain or inflammation, the body will probably focus all of its repair on essential organs and tissue.

Also keep in mind that overall health of the body matters. I think when a person’s skin and body has taken signifcant damage from the environment and aging in general, it is almost as if aging accelerates because the dysfunction of the cells cannot be repaired fast enough before new cells go dysfunctional. The probability that the body will repair the hair is extremely low the older you are and in worse shape you are.

I think the highest potential for regrowth/repigmentation is treatments that cause some kind of local hormesis. Microneedling of the scalp and applying of certain substances like Minoxidil show the most powerful changes in hair.

If you want to repigment your hair, I think you must do something to your scalp that triggers the body to repair the hair follicles. I wonder if deep needling penetration in combination with senolytics could work to make this happen but I have no idea.

Any improvements on the grey hair matter
