Will Baldness Be Cured by 2025?

There is currently no cure for baldness, however, many research groups and facilities around the world are reporting successes using stem cells to promote hair regrowth. Which means, if there is ever going to be a permanent cure for baldness, then stem cell research may be our best hope.

What Year Will there be a cure for baldness?

In August 2021, Pfizer's ritlecitinib showed that it improved scalp hair growth in alopecia patients in a phase IIb/III clinical trial. The big pharma company is planning to file for approval soon and aims to launch the drug by 2025.

Will we ever be able to regrow hair?

It depends. “If a follicle has closed, disappeared, scarred, or not generated a new hair in years, then a new hair wouldn't be able to grow,” Fusco says. But if the follicle is still intact, yes, it is possible to regrow the hair—or to improve the health of the existing thinner hairs.
