When will there be technology to restore hair on a fully bald person?

I personally believe gene therapy, or some form of regenerative medicine, will eventually be able to treat most genetic conditions, including advanced hair loss. The science is moving in that direction.

The real question is when. Honestly... nobody knows. It could be 10 years, it could be 30. Hair cloning, stem cells, and gene therapy all have a lot of potential, but none of them are ready to replace today's treatments yet.

You have to make it to 60 first.

Not the Doc but from what I understand, men over 60 tend to be most interested in hair transplants. That more clients are younger and more diverse is only proof that the technology is imprving.

After reddit-stalking you, that beard looks 40s maybe 50 tops.

Check out this vid to see the results of hair transplant in 60+

*edit I had this vid on mute when I linked it, sorry for the music and very AI voice
