community "We're about 5 years away from scientific technology being able to give you a full head of hair" - Bruce Willis, 1999 (at 2m20s)
Bruce Willis's past comments on hair restoration and the progress of hair loss treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and transplants. Users discuss the challenges of hair loss, the limited number of bald celebrities who are seen as role models, and the ongoing hope for future treatments.
community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
community Hair loss research is a money grab
Hair loss is linked to DHT, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being common but not definitive. Economic interests influence research, and there is potential for new treatments like PP405 and RU58841.
community Rethinking DHT and Hair Loss: Are We Targeting the Wrong Enemy?
Blocking DHT is not a complete solution for hair loss; instead, altering the scalp's response to DHT may be more effective. Topical finasteride and minoxidil are current treatments, but future approaches may involve bioengineering, gene therapy, and inflammation control.
