Monthly Summary/Update ?

I wish there was, on this forum, a monthly update of what is new. Maybe this board is the appropriate place of such a thing. If I was qualified enough I would do it, but it would be nice to see the big picture.

Am I wrong, or the big picture so far is unfortunately :
- The big 3 work (on average)
- hair transplant works but it's not for everyone ($$ and other issues)
- The other treatments ? Nothing seems to work systematically.

In terms of Research:
- HM does not seem to be realizing at least in the medium run
- All our hopes ( in the short-medium term) are on Follica

Is that a good summary of a summary of the major infos a balding young man like me HAS to know ? If not I apologize for my ignorance. If I am right, then maybe a 3 months update instead of a monthly would be better; or even a yearly.

:badmood: :dunno:
Thanks

My take is this:

The big three work but you will never have thick hair you had at 18
hair transplant works but you will not have thick hair you had at 18

Overall current treatments give you some hair back but the quality and
thickness is very poor. At best if you are NW3 or worse is you get to
look thinning rather than bald.

Folica seems to be the frontrunner. Results 5 - 20 years out.

Overall... very depressing.

Yep, i'd pretty much agree with that, BUT, depressing, maybe, but at least we are not in the 80s, now that really would be depressing.

Try having hairloss at 16 , you're lucky you got that far.
