Does Viviscal really work for women going through hair loss/thinning?

Stacy02Jun 22, 2016
I am going through a cycle of Telogen effluvium. It's been a whole year now, no improvement. Although there is some regrowth, it usually sheds. Would viviscal help with TE? Does viviscal cause any shedding or have anything that might cause any hormonal change?

I recommend applying minoxidil only to the balding scalp areas.You may want to consult with a hair restoration specialist who will measure hair miniaturization and point out the best places to apply the minoxidil especially if you are not sure.

Attempt to keep minoxidil out of heat and away from light.The higher percentage of the minoxidil preparation the more likely it could crystallize.

Finasteride should be taken 1st thing in the morning. It does not matter if you take it along with minoxidil or separated by hours. The more important thing is to take them both everyday. And minoxidil twice per day on the scalp itself.
