Once the follicle is closed/gone, it’s gone.
Minoxidil won’t help grow hair on a patch of bold skin. After that only hair transplantation

I'm sure you're correct. That said, I saw a friend who went bald at 28 get all of his hair back from Minoxidil + finasteride. Maybe his folicles weren't closed/gone but he was bald and a year later, was not.
Apparently there's also now-a-days, Micro-needling, Stem Cell Therapy, Platelet-Rich Plasma, and others. No idea how effective they actually are
Well he even had alopecia or he got hair transplant. There is sadly no other option.
What does that mean? Alopecia is the general term for hair loss.

This isn’t the whole story. Many people have follicles that are dormant. Many people have success regrowing hair on bald spots with minoxidil and/or finasteride.
If you look like Sir Patrick Stewart, yeah, that’s not growing back. A bald spot might fill in with medical treatment though.
