Did UCLA Just Cure Baldness?
-
Answer: kind of, as long you keep applying the substance you will regrow all the hair that you have lost and maintain it
-
So rogain or whatever it's called
-
Thought this said blindness for a second.
Was confused by the comments -
But it actually works
-
rogain also works, don't tell me you believe in pfs?
-
grow hair on eye balls
-
keep applying for how long? Forever?

I started losing my hair when I was a teenager, so I’ve been bald for most of my life. I’ve been shaving my head for decades because it’s the only way my head and face don’t look absurd. I’m totally used to it, and long ago accepted that I’d never have hair on my head again.
But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want my hair back.
If this turns out to be legit and works on most people, there could be a worldwide explosion of self-esteem in adults.

That's the problem I've always had with baldness remedies. Shaving my head every other week takes less effort and saves money. Plus I've been bald since highschool so I'm kinda used to it at this point.
-
...on specific areas and doesn't regrow lost hair to the same density or lustre, but yeah.. it works.
-
As someone that has also been bald since I was a teenager, I've also gotten used to it. I've accepted my fate and I'm fine with being bald.
But at the same time do you ever have those dreams where you have hair again and get super excited about it? Like straight up Jesus hair.

100%
I’ve had dreams where my long locks were dramatically blowing in the wind, only to wake up and run my hands through my…well shit, that’s just my scalp.

Through UCLA’s Technology Transfer Group, which transforms brilliant research into global market products, the scientists have co-founded a medical development company called Pelage Pharmaceuticals
In case you were curious how this publicly funded research is going to be turned into private profits.

I can't find a gif of it, so I'd just like everyone to imagine that I posted that scene from the SpongeBob Movie where a worker sprays a can of hair onto King Neptune's eyes.
-
Same. I feel like I’d look so weird with hair now.
-
Sweet, so in thirty years I might be able to use this!
-
Can’t speak to the effectiveness of the baldness cure, but the model in the stock photo has cured ED, I am sure.
-
I don't think UCLA is going to produce retail products themselves.
-
Saves money sure, but every other week? I have to buzz it twice a week to keep it short enough to not look terrible. That's enough effort that I'd rather apply a regular treatment.
Not like a daily "keep doing it or you lose all progress" treatment, but maybe like a "use it more or less daily and it'll grow back" treatment.

Idiocracy was prophetic, just way too optimistic in the timeline.
