It depends how far along the male pattern baldness timeline you are. For those just starting to lose, it's definitely possible (but not assured). For those who've waited several years, or been inconsistent in their regimen (like me), probably not with today's treatments.
My strategy at this point is to do my best to keep what I have and hopefully invigorate some regrowth. I'll take all I can get, of course. However, keeping as many follicles viable as possible is my goal. There will be advances in male pattern baldness treatment in the future (when, where, and how, who knows?), and I feel it's prudent to be in at least a holding pattern for the next thing that comes around the corner.
My opinion only.

I dont know if its wishful thinking but its definitely positive thinking. Did you have look at joebs success story ? I am not sure who you are referring to as "authoritive voices" as if they are the Oracles in Hairloss science. finally, Miracles do happen every so often. Hope is eternal and should be.

Your eyes deceive you. Hopefully your comment was just a really bad joke, because histological examination would be required to demonstrate anything close to a complete reversal.Zimmy said:
Some of you are apparently confusing the original question, which was not "can someone regrow hair to a *cosmetically acceptable* level?" The question was whether one can regrow *all* of his hair, to which I replied "no". Furthermore, the answer applies to presently available medical treatment, and is not intended as a prediction of the future.
I can dig up some review articles from authors who are among the most well respected by their peers and have produced a substantial proportion of the published peer-reviewed scientific research on alopecia (that was implied by "authoritative voices", which a few of you had trouble with), and produce quotations to that effect. As far as hard evidence that complete reversal is not possible, that would be a little bit like trying to prove that god doesn't exist. That's probably a fairly accurate analogy too, considering that most of the discussion that goes on here is more religious than scientific in nature. I suspect that no amount of evidence would ever be sufficient.
It's not apparent why it would even matter whether absolute reversal is currently possible. Complere reversal is not necessary to produce a cosmetically acceptable result.
