    TLDR Synthetic hair implants can be used to cover small bald spots.
    The study conducted in 1989 involved 16 male and female patients with cicatricial or androgenetic alopecia who underwent implantation of synthetic fibers as artificial hair. The follow-up assessments were conducted at 3 days, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months post-implantation, using clinical evaluations and macrophotography to assess the density, durability, and complications of the synthetic hair in small bald areas measuring 0.25 cm².

      Hair cloning is humorously discussed as always being 5-7 years away, with skepticism about its near-term availability. Gene editing to reactivate dormant follicles is suggested as a more likely solution within the next ten years.

      The conversation discusses hair transplants, including the use of techniques like FUE and the importance of a good donor area to avoid visible bald patches. It also touches on alternative treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and Pyrolutimide, and debates the idea of embracing baldness versus seeking treatments.

      January 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”
      The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.

      Primary cicatricial alopecia, a rare disorder causing permanent hair loss, is hard to diagnose and treat, with treatments like anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids offering varied results and no guaranteed cure. Psychological support for patients is important, and future research should aim to identify causes of the condition.
