Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community 22 years since the last major development
The conversation discusses the lack of significant advancements in hair loss treatments since the introduction of finasteride 22 years ago, with many expressing frustration over the failure of new projects and skepticism about future developments. Some users mention hair transplants and other potential alternatives like Alfatradiol and Fluridil, but acknowledge finasteride's dominance in the market due to its effectiveness and affordability.
community Justin Trudeau really is one lucky guy
Justin Trudeau's full head of hair at 53 is humorously attributed to unpredictable genetics and possible use of finasteride. The conversation jokes about a resemblance to Fidel Castro, suggesting genetic luck or treatment use.
