Hair volume minoxidil topical solution5%

2019-05-11 20:35:57
I started taking minoxidil topical solution 5% about 11-12 days ago and I'm still experiencing hairfall (probably because of the thin hair shedding so that the thick hair can replace them). But for how long will I experience this kind of hairfall? I don't want my hair volume to lessen. Will my hair volume increase? So a detailed reply would really be appreciated. Thank you so much :)

Don't worry..U need hormone therapy..You are suffering from hormonal changes causing Androgenetic alopecia causing hair fall. It's completely stoppable even regrowth of hair is possible with certain medications without any side effects. Treatment depends on the grade of hair loss. So, it's a must for diagnosing which grade, you are in for an effective treatment. Please  send photos of your head, by direct online consultation for accurate diagnosis and proper treatment.

It takes 4-6 months to see a good visible change in volume Also hairfall does not stop so early It will take a lot of time.
