So a lot of people thinks that CRISPR/gene editing will be the most effective solutions to cure male pattern baldness permanently as it can literally change the genetics for you and your children once for all, but what if there are ways to shut down the androgen receptors or decreasing their numbers/sensitivity on your scalp with EXTERNAL treatment that is only done on your skin and won't affect your genes? Will that be a better fix than gene editing? Consider it like our wisdom teeth, we are now removing them through surgeries, as the result our body will eventually evolve its way out of wisdom teeth entirely because we keep cutting them off from us. If we can do the same for androgen receptors, shutting down/removing the scalp androgen receptors through surgeries, then the body will start to respond that ARs on the scalp are useless, and slowly minimizing them, one day we will no longer have any ARs left on our scalp, thus male pattern baldness will be cured naturally without messing with our genetics.
