LLLT laser cap plus Finasteride for my 75-year-old mother with thinning hair?

June 9, 2015
Asked By:noalani in Kula, HI

My mother is Chinese, 75, with very thin hair--see through at mid-scalp--and it has been this way for years (worsened after menopause). I'm trying to guide her, as I'm dealing with hair loss myself and am doing research. She tried Minoxidil years ago, grew frustrated, and stopped. I have seen studies that show success with post-menopausal women and Finasteride at higher dosages. Should she consider this? Also, I was told the Capillus272 would help me. Would this also be beneficial to my mother?
