Definitely 3D printing
Because money
Life got so much harder because of this and it’s not ending..
I’m going to end my life. I’m 16 and balding like I was just starting to finally good about myself, lost weight, cleared my skin and now suddenly my hair is falling out. I’m just gonna end it lol
What if you crush propecia tablets and plants it int your scalp through a syringe?
There is no treatment for hairloss.. all this is fake
I've used ArganRain professional hair care product and it works pretty well. I bought three bottles of shampoo from online at ArganRain products. . I've also tried Rogaine. To be honest , it was really awful because of it’s content. Fortunatelly, ArganRain helps my lost hair grow back.
I feel lucky, I started to lose my hair as a teenager, someday I decided to shave my head. For my surprise it turned out to be the most appropriate haircut for me.
Because big pharma companies don't want to, an effective baldness treatment would put a lot of people out of business.
sad
Because if they did theyd discover immortality
Everybody sheds , the onley difference is some people's grow back and no balding ever becomes evident . Those drugs will not bring back hair in bald spots ,just slow down the balding process , possibly stopping it. If you were to get castrated your hair would cease to fall out, what does that tell you about Propecia? A chemical castration possibly , would explain why you forget you have a dick while your on it .
I'd rather hear the bad news. And it's true this guy is not bald so he's not very credible even though he's reading off of a teleprompter.?
I disagree that expectations are "still way too high." For the first time ever, we are truly on the doorstep of hair cloning being a reality available to the public…within just a few years at most. Tsuji in Japan and TissUse Smart Hair Transplant are both about to do human trials, and with accelerated market regulations in Japan, these two cloning transplants could be available in 2021. Hope that there are no major setbacks during human trials, but no reason to believe there will be; this technology has been slowly researched and developed for 2 decades now, and they have stuck to their projected timelines.
I'm not optimistic because it's the same old song & dance. A promise of a cure then nothing and repeat.
I have seen rich people go bald .
There is cure for hairloss. But not through chemicals
If Bezos would reward anyone $100M to find a cure, I'm sure someone would. LOL!
The government needs to give out 10 million dollars to anyone who solves it and it will come
