Looks promising. If this works could strip make a comeback?

I was hoping for a video on it. It sounds revolutionary if it works.

Strip seems to me a very outdated and invasive technique when you consider how long it has been around. Science really needs to get their finger out on hair restoration / prevention as a whole.

Finasteride also as a treatment is a joke.

Its going to be such a lucrative market for whoever truely cracks it.

I dont doubt the effectiveness of Finasteride in halting MPB Sparky and glad its stopped your loss. My comment was aimed more at the mechanism of it as a treatment. i.e Shutting down DHT production to combat baldness.

When DHT is required for many other functions that they are still only learning about. Its a bit akin to chopping off your foot cause you have a sore toe. And the myriad of side effects it caused with a lot of people.

For me all things considered its just not a satisfactory treatment at all. They need a more concentrated treatment really.

Joke of a treatment is a strong term. I would be totally bald without propecia. I find the side effects mild and manageable. Its a trade-off that worked in my favor, but it would certainly be better if they could identify more counter-indications for the drug.

Intersting if it works its very good news for patients. I dont think strip is outdated either, both strip and fue are viable options. Doctors can only utalize whats available.

Perhaps. Glad its worked for you.

Although i do find it a bit of a sick joke from nature that this drug to combat hair loss. Can actually destroy someone's libido.

Consequently many people taking it in order to appear more attractive to the opposite sex end up with a libido in the shitter!

Unfortunately all medicines can have side effects fir certain people, i know someone who will die if he takes Penicilin but look at how many people it helps, if you know the risks, its up to the individual to try it.

Yeah fair enough, I only take a 5th of a tablet every other day at the most.
