Hair loss is less common now due to accessible treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and hair transplants. Improved hair care, skincare, and lifestyle changes contribute to people looking younger today.
Developing new hair loss treatments is challenging due to the complexity and cost of trials, and a permanent cure is unlikely soon. Current treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are used continuously because hair loss is progressive, and future possibilities include gene editing and hair cloning.
Hair loss is primarily genetic, and nutrient deficiencies are unlikely to be the cause. DHT inhibitors can slow hair loss, but concerns about side effects are common.
Dutasteride users should get yearly kidney and liver tests, especially young people. General health checkups are not common in the UK, but such tests are recommended as a precaution.
