Hair loss from the hairline or crown can occur due to many reasons, more commonly due to-
- hormonal effect
- nutrition
- lifestyle imbalance
- stress
- Medical conditions, fever
The exact reason can be found out by taking detailed history and hair analysis .
Accordingly, anti hairloss medicines, hair specific multivitamins, lotions and gels are prescribed.
Many non surgical external treatments are available that show good results and can prevent hair transplant.
These are :
Mesoporation with hair peptides
Stemcell,
Dermaroller
PRP therapy etc.
Treatments are prescribed according to diagnosis. You can expect results in 6 to 8 months with a combination of these treatments.

As such procapil is a good medicine for hairfall, but not complete enough. As there are many causes,they have to be evaluated. Common causes like nutritional deficiency, anemia,thyroid, hormonal disturbance, stress, post sickness..etc...I would like to see the picture and start you on a complete and proper hairfall treatment through practo online consultation.

Hairfall is not due to one single cause. There are many conditions which can cause extreme hair loss and thinning of hair on the scalp. So first and foremost we have to find the cause of hair fall with the help of detailed history and examination. Some of the common causes maybe nutritional deficiency, hormonal causes like androgenic alopecia also called pattern baldness, hypothyroidism, telogeun effluvium etc. Unless we find and c,read the cause there is no point in giving non specific treatment. Also one should refrain from home remedies as it does not give any relief from hairfall. Oil and shampoos do not have any effect on hair growth as they are not absorbed in the skin.Please contact me using online consultation for proper examination diagnosis and treatment

Procapil alone may not be sufficient. A detailed history and pictures are needed for proper advise.
Procapil is a good medicine and it takes atleast 2 to 3 months to show results.

Hello dear. Hairfall needs proper evaluation. Any underlying health conditions, previous illnesses, certain medications, fancy hair treatments at parlour etc can all cause hairfall.
I suggest that you share your pictures and medical history via online consultation for accurate diagnosis and treatment
Health Tips
Procapil based solutions are OK. It takes a long time to reverse the hair loss. So be patient
