Hi guys,
Androgenetic alopecia has probably existed ever since humans first walked the earth and I think most of us can agree that it causes a lot of stress especially when it happens prematurely to young guys.
Being such a common problem, you can find all kinds of snake oils, fake dht blockers, fake growth products and since they keep making scam products, obviously there’s a high demand for more hair loss treatments.
And yet, here we are with only one effective drug and another one being mildly effective.
Not only that, it seems there isn’t much research going on. Yes, I know currently there are multiple potential treatments but is it just me or most of these treatments fail to enter phase III and get abandoned?
So why do you think we still don’t have mlore options, here are a few possible explanations:
1- the big 3 combo is very effective and safe(according to studies) so no need for more options?
2-Not many people care about hair loss which means it’s not very profitable.
3- It’s not very well understood and difficult to treat.
Also, do you think we’ll ever have a hairloss solution to help us while we’re still young? (for people who can’t take finasteride or hasnt worked for them)
Love to hear your thoughts.
