No, there isn’t currently a cure for hair loss – so watch out for any company claiming they can sell you a “cure.” There are however effective and well-studied treatments available that can slow hair loss or even help you regrow your hair – you’ll just need to chat with a doctor to learn more. 

Typically, within 3 to 6 months of treatment you can expect to see results. Everyone is different so some individuals see results sooner and for others it may take up to a year to start seeing meaningful results. 

Due to the nature of the medication used to treat hair loss, you must continue to use the treatment for as long as you want to maintain the effect. If you stop treatment, it your hair will regress to where you were before starting treatment, and hair loss will worsen.

As with all prescription medication, there is the potential for side effects to occur. The doctor will discuss all the side effects with you during your online consultation. Although those side effects are concerning to anyone, they only affect a very small percentage of men when treating male pattern baldness. Emerging research also suggests that the chances of side effects are significantly lower when treatment is used topically instead of orally.
