Is it too optimistic to expect a hairloss cure in the next 10 years?

Hopefully there's enough advancement to at least help a few people or something that works more long term than finasteride/dutasteride

If they can get a man on the moon they can find a cure for baldness
If you are referring to the moon landings of 1969 they are a blatant hoax (refer to Kubrick's Secret). Even so, landing on the moon requires a set amount of calculations. Its actually pretty simple compared to curing hairloss because we can determine exactly what needs to be done and engineer what is needed to accomplish such feats with regards to physics.

With hairloss, the problem is inscribed within our DNA made up of millions of genes. There is no clear path like there is to the moon so lets stop using this analogy.

There will probably never be a "cure", just better treatments. 5ARI are already very effective treatments for most people if they start them soon enough.

The only way to CURE Androgenetic Alopecia permanently is by genetic engineering which is decades away.
As for those who are not that optimistic:-
Guys we have follicept coming. It directly sends IGF-1 to the hair follicles's dermal pappilae.
Why we should count on it you ask??
Coz their are PROVEN studies that establish the fact that when a finasteride administered Androgenetic Alopecia patient gets improvement from taking finasteride, IGF-1 is upregulated in the hair follicles.
Whats IGF-1??
IGF-1 is what regulates the hair growth cycle and its inhibition is what DHT does. This is followed by formation of TGF B1 and many more things( You can wikipedia it. Vey informative) that lead to extended resting phases and "squeezes" the follicles that causes miniaturization.

Honestly it's impossible to tell. Will hairloss be completed cured in 20 years? No. Will there be an alternative to propecia that offers less side effects and slightly more efficient? Perhaps.

People have been saying the cure is 5 years away for decades now, you can't expect it because by the time anthing more significant arrives your hair may be long gone (NW7), im 20 at the moment and if I am 35 by the time significant hair loss treatment is out I will probably opt out of taking it anyway since my hair would have been gone for a long time by that time

A cure would be great, but I would settle for just an improvement when it comes to regrowth. I was hoping Bimatoprost would be that treatment.

For all we know there may be a cure. The reality of the situation is that researchers have stopped (been paid off or threatened) trying to find cures for conditions because companies realize it's much more profitable to treat conditions than to cure them. IE: It's sad how much of the money made from those ALS awareness videos actually goes towards finding a cure for ALS, assuming that there actually are people working on a cure.

"hair regrowth" is a huge market. everyone and their grandmothers have a "cure" to sell; the corporations will not jeopardize that.

Realistically when will better treatment than finasteride be coming out? Especially those in the next 5 years?

5 years? You're ****ed. FDA testing of **** takes 10 years and nothing that affects your bodys biology can be put on the market without them testing it. There are black market drugs working for the rich and the famous thatw e don't have access to. All we can do is wait for those to come. Who knows if they'll pass regulation or how long it'll take or if they even work. Pray. Don't pray for you hair. Pray that there really is a god.

Theres no god. But theres been trials for new treatment for a while now?


idk it's all a scam anyway. EVen if there was an effective treatment that worked naturally they would throw it out and release the ****tiest most expensive ineffective profit in cahootz with the company making it. The finasteride patent ran out and propecia is still advertising it and making money off it. It's all a scam anyway.

seems like every other post contradicts each other.
