Hmm the article says it is believed to be "as effective as Minoxidil" - which really doesn't cure baldness, more like prevents its onset. So if you're already bald - tough luck.
So far I think the reality of it is:
- to slow down baldness - drugs like minoxidil
- to stop baldness - PRP sessions once every few years
- to reverse it - hair transplants
I wonder if they would be able to not only get into "slow down" territory but to "stop" with a drug based on this sugar.
I was balding from 25 years onward and had made peace with it by just shaving my head. But recently I had an extended sabbatical and thought to myself - what the hell, let me try the "Elon Musk" way and just did some hair implants. It was rather painful, and took almost a month to fully recover, but it was soo worth it. Had forgotten how satisfying it was to have hair through your fingers plus walking out in the sun is much simpler now, no hats required.
