A "cure" for baldness could be around the corner

As an almost-bald man myself (who shaves smooth twice a week; what a chore [0]), may I respectfully ask if you've considered treating the psychology of self-consciousness [1] rather than the hair loss?

[0] Seriously, can someone please invent a a once-and-for-all hair removal process that means I never have to shave again? While losing my hair was the "problem" initially, the real problem has turned out to be that the balding stopped. I wish it had continued to completion.

[1] Also, if you had say, implants, wouldn't it be possible that you'd still be self-conscious, but this time about whether the implants were detectable?

EDITED to add [1].

Shaving not for everyone. I clipper semi-regularly. Shaving tends to scar you up and some folk (including me) have major skin irritation that festers.

You can do waxing, a little painful but a lot less "Maintenance", also if you are sure you want to go the full Monty you can go laser hair removal (it's not totally permanent but it goes away for a long time).

Shaving the head is zen :)

But you're right, it is a lot of work that it would be nice to be without.
