community How common is serious regrowth for people 35yrs old and up?
Regrowth is more likely if hair follicles are still alive, regardless of age, but younger individuals often see better results due to early intervention. Treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dermarolling can help, but results vary based on individual factors such as the presence of miniaturized hairs and the speed of treatment initiation.
community Some common misconceptions about why there have been no breakthroughs in treatments for so long and why a one and done cure is almost impossible.
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.
