Frequently asked

Common questions.

Will shampoo regrow hair?

No. Only minoxidil (or finasteride for men) has clinical evidence for regrowth. Shampoo prevents further loss.

How long until I see results?

Reduced shedding at 4-8 weeks. Visual density at 12-16 weeks. Most users abandon at week 6.

Should I see a dermatologist?

Yes, especially for sudden thinning. Address underlying causes (iron, thyroid, hormones) first.
