How would the ultimate hair lose cure be supposed to work?

[jimmypage]

So, imagine that there actually is a hair loss definitive cure. How would it work? I guess that it would be some sort of mechanism that kills or blocks just the DHT receptors that are found in the hair, right?

I can't believe that nobody has been able to discover such a thing, sorry, I don't buy it. It's a shame how powerful the pharmaceutical industry is.

I really believe that already exists a cure for baldness, I mean, I'm not talking from a conspiracy point of view or anything like that, it's just as simple as this:

Profit of periodic hair loss treatment > Profit of permanent hair loss treatment

It is nothing personal, just business haha.

What do you think, guys?

blocking DHT cant be regarded as a "ultimate hair loss cure" since it does nothing for balding/bald guys. Most likely it will be some hair multiplication/cloning process which will allow you to transplant unlimited number of donor hairs into bald regions

Hair loss isn't the only issue in public health issue of its kind for which there is no cure.

Similarly, there is no cure for acne.

Treatments for yellow teeth are also quite mediocre.

Hair loss is actually not so simple as it seems. There are many approaches for new treatments that tackle the issue of hair loss from different angle. If it really was a "mechanism that kills or blocks just the DHT receptors" there would still be problems: How do we get that treatment where it has to be? Are the DHT receptors the only problem or are there other problems on a more detailed level that enable hair loss? How long would this treatment block the receptors? And so on... There are still a lot of thinks that are not figured out so far...

We already have the cure. Tanning, lifting and growing beards.

Don't forget confidence.

The ultimate cure would make you hair follicles exactly the same as those who never go bald no matter how much DHT or what age they are. Simple as that.

The problem isn't the DHT it's your hair follicles reacting wrong to it .

How about confidence pills?

These would defiantly help me some days...
