Why hasn't the cure to hair loss been found? There's plenty of motivation to find it.

It has been found / invented though.
Finasteride and follicular unit transplantations.

That's why I didn't get the COVID vax. I simply don't believe that medical researchers know enough about the human body to be mindful of every little micro-interaction.

INB4 finasteride/dutasteride and minoxidil. Nope, not cures. Won't restore a hairline for the vast majority of men.

Hair loss is the evolutionary path. Humans are less and less hair each century.

Finasteride is more something you can take early on to prevent worse hair loss. Follicular unit transplantations can restore hair after the fact in large amounts if you're willing to shell out $20K for it.

>Finasteride
Nope. If that cured baldness for most men, you wouldn't have baldcel forums in which men are crying about having tried everything. For most men, it won't regrow hair.
>follicular unit transplantations.
FUE isn't a cure for baldness any more than a kidney transplant is a cure for kidney disease.

Sounds just like the "vaccine" pitch, "take it now! take it before you get natural exposure immunity! It won't prevent you from getting sick, but it will be worse if you don't trust us and take this now!" kek fucking kek

How is it not a cure? It clearly fixed Elon Musk's fairly advanced balding problem.

Yes, it will, at best, slow down the effects of DHT by lowering DHT.
It's obvious that OP wants a cure for pic related.

Do you really think a hair transplant is what people have in mind when they're talking about a baldness cure?

[Anonymous No.14794393]

>>14794353
If it works how is it not a cure?
I really don't understand what kind of distinction you're trying to make.
Guy was badly balding.
He got an expensive transplantation treatment.
He now has perfectly normal looking non-badling hair.
What is the problem here?
If I had some disease that could be cured with an organ transplant then I'd also consider that a cure. Although unlike with the balding case you have the added consideration of organ rejection and a need for immunosuppressants. So that's not actually a fair analogy.

This TREATMENT isn't what baldcels or medical researchers consider a cure.

"Androgenic alopecia (AGA), also known as male pattern baldness, is one of the most common hair loss diseases worldwide. The main treatments of AGA include hair transplant surgery, oral medicines, and LDL laser irradiation, although no treatment to date can fully cure this disease."

HRT took from me NW6 to NW1. I used fin+min for about 8 months before that and saw good gains too, but HRT put it into overdrive and gave me back coverage on the last bald area and thickened the entire previous affected area greatly.

baldcels happily spend money on treatments that don't work. if baldness became curable, they would stop being paypigs

Easier explanation is just that medical research is maybe a little more difficult than you think and the human species isn't 100% composed of super-geniuses.

Also though someone already posted the cure for balding. You weirdos just have some autistic rule against it counting that still hasn't been explained.

>posted the cure
a fix is not a cure. different definitions and meanings.
a pancreas transplant for a diabetic type 1 is not a cure, but a fix. A cure would be preventing or curing the disease.

more money in "treating" a disease than curing it like this anon's picrel states.>>14797047

What?
I can understand FUT doesn't prevent anything, but that's not at all the definition for cure.
And then the other thing you wrote is that a cure is a cure.
What do you mean for fucks sake? If FUT makes balding no longer exist on your head then what more could you possibly want?
And a pancreas transolant isn't really the same since that has a lot of health risks tied to it and you need to be on immune system suppressing drugs to keep your body from attacking the replacement organ.
FUT in contrast just solves baldness.

Nah, it's just contrived and stupid to imagine an anti-cure conspiracy when any idiot who spends a few minutes reading up on biology should be able to realize it isn't a simple topic and very little of it is understood to anywhere close to the same degree we understand artificial technology.
If I have an explanation that works with far fewer assumptions and without secret no evidence having plots required then of course that explanation's going to be the more likely one, all else equal.

All they have to do is make the cure super expensive so that it costs way more than a lifetime's supply of the dud treatments, which is probably what one of the promising Jap companies will do.

And they already do exactly that with the right answer to this thread i.e. follicular unit transplantations.
Nowadays it's as expensive as $50,000 potentially.

Me either, same reason mostly. I was really disappointed at how all my coworkers and family were suddenly insisting out of nowhere that everyone needs to take the vaccine and you're stupid and dangerous if you don't.
It was only months before that when everyone understood vaccine development is supposed to take a decade at best and is something you really don't want to rush or fuck up so you don't end up repeating the 1976 swine flu vaccine fiasco and giving everyone Guillain–Barré syndrome.
I was very close to being forced to get vaccinated with this rushed mess to keep my job but fortunately I refused like a week before the Supreme Court made its decision that you can't use fucking OSHA to coerce the entire country's working population into taking experimental pharmaceuticals, and they took back their HR policy before they got a chance to fire me.
