Can’t believe no cure for baldness
Posted by Geekboy on 6/21/21 at 6:26 am715
I started losing my hair YEARS ago but remember not really worrying about it because I felt there would be a cure within about five years.
Well, here we are over 20 years later and no cure. And no really ‘significant’ advancements have taken place. Other than transplants there is no effective remedy.
This is stunning. I realize cancer is very difficult to cure broadly because there are so many different kinds of cancer but baldness isn’t that complicated and you’d think it shouldn’t be that difficult in today’s medical environment that a cure hasn’t been found.

Propecia doesn’t cure baldness. And if he’s 20 years in it’s probably too late.

I'm bald from cancer, and it looks like it drastically altered my hairline as it's growing back a completely different color. YAY
My dad was bald before chemo, and now after he has recovered, he has more hair than before chemo. Keep hanging tough
I guess about 15 years ago I started looking at cures for baldness. It was always "five years away!".
In other news, the Chinese just melded a male and female rat together and managed to get the male to have a uterus and give birth to baby rats

Dr. Tsuji of Japan seems to have figured it out but the cost will astronomical initially. There are guys out there doing amazing things. Dr Umar out in La is getting incredible results using nape and beard follicles. FUE has increased donor hair availability by 400% in some cases.
Bottom line, there has never been a better time to be bald with current options and future technologies in the works.

I’ve been on Finasteride (propecia) for over five years now for prostate issues. It’s a 5 mg dose. The recommended dosage of propecia for baldness is just 1 mg, I’ve been taking five times that amount and no change. Maybe it has helped slow down the hair loss but can’t be sure.

They’ve been saying this shite for 50 years. And in that time, other than transplants, hardly any progress.

It’s genetic, it has to do with aging and that’s pretty hard to figure out, and it’s not exactly harmful or even detrimental to your health. That’s why there hasn’t been a cure discovered.

And it will still require transplantation. Hair multiplication is the future. There is simply no magic bullet to this. propecia/minox have their place but there is a shelf life to these products. LLLT/PRP assist as well but have their limitations.
3D bio printing is the leap.

I thought DHT was helping balding folks.

I started losing my hair in my early 30’s.
I tried to fight it but rogaine didn’t seem to help.
Finally I said frickit and bought some quality balding clippers. They cut your hair down almost as close as a razor.
Never looked back.
