Consult your doctor if you do not see any change even after applying it for six months.

How it works
Tricosilk F Hair Solution is a combination of Minoxidil and Finasteride. Minoxidil widens the blood vessels and provides better blood flow to the hair follicles. Finasteride blocks the production of a male hormone in the scalp that stops hair growth. Thus it increases hair regrowth and prevents hair loss.
