Hairfall is back

2022-02-20 10:26:00
I was using minoxidil 5% for 3-4 months and i was ret seeing the results. My hair was becoming thick and new hairs were growing. Then I switched to minixidil 10% last month but my hair has become thin and hairfall started again. All the thickness and regrowth stopped. Is it normal or should I switch it back to minoxidil 5%.

Treatment depends on the grade...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.

Growth will come to normal after a while with 10% but you may stick to 5% only
