Human pluripotent stem cells have been used to create hair and skin, potentially offering a new solution for baldness. A user also mentioned starting finasteride but experiencing unexpected hair thinning.
Baldness is difficult to cure because current treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil only prevent hair shedding, and new developments are mostly ineffective. Botox shows potential in aiding skin regeneration and hair growth, but maintenance therapy with treatments like dutasteride and minoxidil may still be necessary.
A permanent hair loss solution could involve reprogramming hair follicles to resist DHT using mRNA and siRNA. However, high costs, safety concerns, and the pharmaceutical industry's preference for ongoing treatments over one-time cures are major obstacles, with finasteride and minoxidil remaining standard treatments.
Transplanting mice skin to humans is not feasible due to immune rejection, but some suggest genetic modification or immune suppression could make it possible. Xenograft hair transplants are discouraged.
