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.

• Redensyl/“RCP-based” serums are safe for long-term use, but their effect is mild and supportive, not as strong as minoxidil
• They help in early thinning or maintenance, but may not be sufficient alone for significant hair loss
Next Steps:
• You can continue your current serum (Bontress Pro+) long term if you are comfortable
• Use consistently once daily for at least 4–6 months to judge results
• Add supportive care:
• Protein-rich diet + biotin (if deficient)
• Check vitamin D, B12, ferritin
• If thinning is progressing → consider low-dose minoxidil alternative or medical therapy after consult
Helpful Tips / Words of Caution:
• These serums maintain hair more than regrow lost hair
• Results are slow and subtle—don’t expect dramatic regrowth
• If hair fall is increasing or scalp visibility worsening → need stronger treatment
• Avoid frequently switching products—consistency is key
Kindly consult with me via Practo for detailed evaluation and treatment

Bontress Pro + serum is great for people who can’t or don’t want to use Minoxidil. No dependency. Good response.
Having said that we still need proper evaluation before continuing this serum for the Hairfall as it has an elaborate r list of causes.

Bontress pro+ is beneficial if u have nutritional deficiency in conditions like telogen effluim but if u are near to baldness or receding hairline it doesn't help much ,u can opt for DHT blockers along with serum if minoxidil is not suiting u
