Most guys I know with bald spots are noticeably thinning prior to developing one.
I would say that if you are a NW2 by your mid twenties, and are not shedding much, your hair will hold out until this comes out. Which should be 2016 MAX.Comment

Again, note that "increased hair growth" is not the same thing as "created new hairs." What's being referenced in the article is the stimulation of miniaturized and resting hairs, not the creation of new hair follicles. It helps hair you already have, but may not do anything to make up for lost hair.
Even if all it does is stimulate resting follicles, that's freaking amazing. For people with bald scalps, it could get some of their hair back, and for people with thinning it could possibly be full recovery.
Do you not want them to succeed or something?Comment

And that difference is crucial. Women tend to lose hair through overall thinning; men tend to lose hair through hairline recession and crown balding. If you've got a treatment that revitalizes miniaturized hair, therefore, it's likely going to be much more effective for women, who still have hair everywhere, than for denuded areas of the male scalp.Comment

Why are you always so negative? This is really exciting news! Their results are even better than they were in the pilot study, and I'm sure they'll probably keep on improving.

would you want to go to a NW0, will most ethical Dr's do that?. I think you would look odd a NW0 at 50!Comment

TBH that argument of it looking weird at 50 is silly. It's a statement made by HT doctors in order to make the patient feel better about themselves with a more recessed hairline.
All with perfect NW0 hair, and don't look weird.Comment
