Commonly dandruff or any other infection and lack of hair nourishment are the main causes for hair fall. This requires both local application for dandruff or any other infection and local massage with oil to increase circulation and internal consumption of herbal preparations as nutrients for hair growth, For further assistance you can concern me privately.

Hi ,
this treatment is the usual medications prescibed by Dermatologist. Finax is finasteride and long term usage can result is loss of libido , not safe for long term use. Regain is minoxidil 5% can be used as local application. But it is life long,
either homeopathic treatment will help in preventing further hair loss or Mesotherapy can help in rejuvenating the thin follicles.
