It has been 4 months since I started to use this product for hair loss on sides and top of my head. I have long hair and was quite upset by the amount that was falling out. I've gone to experts in hair loss in Switzerland and was told I had lost 40% of the hair on the sides and they prescribed this product and Minoxidil. They also told me that there is a period of maximum of 18months from when hair lost starts that you have to stop it or the follicle will stop working. It is a clear liquid that you put in your hair. It is not greasy and absorbs quickly.
I ordered the minoxidil from the US as it is so expensive in Switzerland, but started to notice hair growth with just the Alpicort F, so I did not start it. (As Minoidil has other side effects and once you start you have to use it forever)
The first thing I noticed was that my loss of hair - 400-800 a day reduced to just a few hairs.
Then I noticed around the front of my hair line lots of little hairs. They have since grown into a fringe that is thick and now 3 inches long. I have lots of hair growth on the side and top of my head. I can see little hairs everywhere. They are coming in like thin hairs but growing thick. The hair on the side of my head was so thin I didn't pull it back anymore. As a result of the hairs growing in, you can not see the scalp anymore.
I wanted to give an update on this situation as I know many peri and menopausal women suffer from hair loss and how much of an impact is has on your self esteem.
In switzerland this is a prescription product but that differs by country so do not know about the USA.
cheers
