Suggest Treatment For Hair Loss

Sir/Madam, Since I was obese I had to reduce weight. This, I did, remarkably well, by reducing more than 40 kilos in a span of two years. Aided by meftormin sr, i maintained a strict diet with constant exercise. However, as a fallout, i find that my hair has got begun to recede. it has thinned at the front portion and is slowly fading sideways. more than anything else, i find that the density has decreased. i have started off with minidoxil 10 during night time. in the morning before i take a bath i apply ayurvedic oil. since i am having dry scalp, i am applying a combination of two oils manufactured by kottakal ayurveda sala. i am also taking finasteride 1 and one follihair on a daily basis. is there anything else to be done.

Congratulations on your weight loss..
As for your hair loss, you seem to have developed patterned hair loss also known as androgenetic alopecia.
The treatment you are on is correct. You need to continue with this treatment for a minimum period of 6 months to notice results.
To add to it, you can even start hair mesotherapy as an adjuvant treatment..
Hope this helps..
