Summary:

  • The first trial of an injectable drug promotes hair regeneration.
  • This drug may also have the potential to treat early graying.
  • Experts expect permanent hair loss treatments to follow.

2. Considering the Background

The issues of hair loss and graying are influenced by various factors, including age, genetics, and stress. These concerns affect not only appearance but also self-esteem and social impressions. Given this context, it’s natural that a new treatment is drawing attention. So, what kind of future awaits us if this technology becomes widespread?

3. What Will the Future Hold?

Hypothesis 1 (Neutral): A Future Where Hair Regeneration Treatment Is Commonplace

If hair regeneration becomes commonplace, problems related to hair loss and graying may become things of the past. This could change the beauty industry, leading to a decrease in hair-related products and services. As a result, the pressure related to appearance may lighten, and personal values may diversify.

Hypothesis 2 (Optimistic): A Future with Significant Developments in Beauty and Health

If this technology evolves and further applications in health and beauty fields progress, we can expect a healthier and more confident lifestyle. People may have more freedom to choose a life that reflects their true selves, and new values that disregard appearance could spread.

Hypothesis 3 (Pessimistic): A Future Where Natural Appearance Is Lost

The excessive proliferation of technology raises concerns that natural appearances and individuality may be lost. In a society where personal appearances become homogenized, competition and comparison with others could intensify, impacting self-esteem. Values may shift, necessitating a focus on aspects beyond appearance.
