Hi. Thanks for posting your concern at HCM

Hair loss in males can be due to various causes like Androgenetic alopecia, Telogen effluvium, Alopecia areata etc.

In your case it seems to be Androgenetic alopecia which is genetically predisposed and also is the most common type of hair loss in males.

It is gradual and can start anytime after puberty.

I would advice that you consult a dermatologist. Your dermatologist would assess the degree of hair loss and would prescribe topical as well as oral medication to control your hair loss and possibly regrow new hair.

Minoxidil and finasteride are FDA approved for this kind of hair loss. They are used world wide for this kind of hair loss.

take care
regards.

Hi,

You need to have patience. It is great that Livon hair gain is working for you although slowly acting.

It is difficult for the hair to grow after operation. So, have patience and wait for the results to come.

If no improvement within 6 months from now, you can consult your dermatologist for another alternative suitable for your case.

All the best!
