      The consensus is that a hair transplant is not advisable due to a weak donor area, and medications like minoxidil, finasteride, or dutasteride should be tried for 1-2 years to stabilize hair loss. A hair system is suggested as a better alternative if medication is not an option.

While it shows potential, it cannot regenerate permanently destroyed follicles, making hair transplants the only guaranteed solution for advanced baldness currently.
