Cap Vitoshine once daily is very good option.

Continue this for 6 months, you can get very good growth.

If you add PRP therapy with minoxodil lotion, you will get surprising results. You can get PRP with energy Photon at our center at very low cost. If looking consultation free of cost online, consult at 5 to 6 pm.

You are suffering from androgenic alopecia which is also called as pattern baldness. The hairs start reducing in density at the crown (top) and also the hairline starts refeeding from the front. This is usually progressive throughout life unless treated. This may also be accompanied by severe dandruff. The FDA approved treatment for this condition is a lotion and tablets. There is no other alternative. No oil or cream will magically work because the hairs are getting miniaturised and eventually disappearing due to the hormonal effects on the hair roots. Along with this, you can also consider platelet rich plasma therapy for faster results. Please contact me with photos using online consult option for proper examination and treatment. Do not start treatment without consulting.

Hello,
Yes minoxidil would definitely help you to regain hair but do not expect 100% results because only minoxidil won't be that effective

Hi. You have typical presentation of Male Pattern Thinning seen in young stressed out unhealthy men in my clinic. This is the result of chronic hairfall over years in an individual who is genetically programmed to have male pattern hair loss (MPHL). The treatment is tricky. You need to have lots of hair specific vitamins and correction of your lifestyle to grow your hair back. Hair transplant surgery is a good fall back option if all else fails.
Next Steps
contact my clinic for an appointment to settle your condition.
Health Tips
don't fall prey to cheap advertisements for procedures like PRP and Stem cell especially by quacks who don't understand the condition but only believe that they can make some money out of your predicament.
