I’m Concerned That I’ll Be in the Last Generation of Bald People
in reference to a quote at the end of this article:
Link: Baldness cure could be for sale in just two years
I am concerned that in the next two years they will come up with a drug that will retain hair, and I (25 yo male) will be the last generation of bald people. The rest of my life it won’t be normal to be bald…. urgh? do any of these ‘on the horizon’ cures actually regrow hair???
I wrote about the possibility of the baldness cure being just a couple years away here.
You’re assuming a lot to suggest that it won’t be normal to be bald for the rest of your life, and even then, there are options like Scalp MicroPigmentation (SMP), hair transplantation, and even medication, to make it so that you don’t appear bald. I expect that we’re more than just two years away from the cure being a reality, but research is ongoing. And even if balding is somehow completely eradicated for future generations, there will still be millions of men around the world that have hair loss, so I wouldn’t get too worked up about it being abnormal.
Thanks,
Dr. did you find that the article suggests the ‘cure’ would only prevent balding, or regrow?
There is one quote that suggests cure, and the other seems to suggest more as a preventative measure.
A number of the theoretical ‘cures’ work on the assumption of ‘reigniting’ the dormant hair so that would suggest a regrowth after a period of time. Whether it actually turns out like that is another matter I guess. But if there’s a ‘cure’ you would have the option of hair transplants and then unlimited ‘survival’ of hair around the HT, so I guess you’d still have that option.
