Male Hair Loss Treatment

What Is Male Hair Loss Treatment?

Male pattern baldness (hair loss) is caused by a combination of genetic factors and the male hormone DHT, a male-specific hormone that causes your prostate gland to increase in size.

Male Hair Loss Treatment has been scientifically shown to treat male pattern baldness by blocking the production of the male hormone DHT.

By blocking this hormone, Male Hair Loss Treatment reduces the rate at which hair loss occurs, while promoting the growth of thicker, healthier hair.

While Male Hair Loss Treatment is highly effective at preventing hair loss, it can't repair dead hair follicles. This is why it's best to start treatment as soon as you notice your hair thinning or shedding at an unusual rate. If you're in the advanced stages of male pattern baldness, we want you to know that Male Hair Loss Treatment can still offer some help.

During the first six months of treatment, there may be some thinning of your existing hair. This may be due to the progression of your hair loss before Male Hair Loss Treatment had a chance to work, or some shedding of miniaturised hair that makes way for the new hair growth.

We understand that waiting for results can be frustrating, but your patience during this period is crucial for the treatment to work effectively. As with other hair-loss medications, patients taking Male Hair Loss Treatment should expect to wait a year or more before evaluating its effectiveness.

Only take one capsule a day. It is not any more effective if you exceed the recommended dose.

It is best to start treatment as soon as possible after you have noticed hair loss, and results are seen sooner if treatment is started within a year of hair loss.

Pregnancy, Breast-feeding and Fertility

Women who are pregnant or may be pregnant must not handle Male Hair Loss Treatment. When they face exposure to Male Hair Loss Treatment, they can absorb it through the skin, which can affect a male baby's normal development. This is a severe risk in the first 16 weeks of pregnancy.

Wash the affected area immediately with soap and water if there is any skin contact. Seek out medical attention if a pregnant woman has touched Male Hair Loss Treatment.

Use a condom during sexual intercourse. Male Hair Loss Treatment can enter the semen. If your partner is or may be pregnant, avoid exposing her to your semen, as Male Hair Loss Treatment may affect a male boy's normal development.
