Finasteride effectively cured male pattern balding already. It's safe and effective, the only downside is that you need to keep taking it
It also impacts libido
In a small percentage of people, and I was among those. It's not permanent, because finasteride increases testosterone, which can convert to estrogen
It's also only preventative, seems like this is more reversal.
It reversed hair loss for me, I used to have a bald spot and I don't have one anymore.
