    I completely get what you are saying dutchguyhanging. You are correct, people with significant hairloss, poor donor hair quality and or quantity...do have limited options. AND I'm not a big medicine prescriber. A lifetime of meds with certainly some potential short term and possibly permanent side effects is not a great option. But surgery to address hairloss, sometimes with limitations of coverage, and meds are all we have. I know everyone is waiting for the cure. But it won't happen in my lifetime. Perhaps...in 50 years we'll see cloning or genetic manipulation, but only after other diseases are addressed first.

    I'm not always right, but I'm pretty sure on this one. Then, some of the readers will comment that as a hair doctor I don't want a cure. Wrong-o fellows. Figuring cloning will come before genetic therapy...someone will need to design the hairline or repair and someone will need to plant all of those cloned grafts. I'd be really psyched if any old class 6 or 7 could walk in this morning, I could biopsy one cm of scalp and mail it off to acme hair cloning, and then get 12000 grafts back in 2 weeks for me to fix their entire bald area! That would be the best thing for the public and for hair doctors alike. Its just not happening anytime soon.

    This little video shows why we can't cover everything at one time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdw5fHLcqLo

    So for now, its do your research before you commit to current options.

    Sure you can get a HT anywhere , but in this particular case , he will most probably regret it later on in life as he loses more hair
