When should I start Hair Loss treatment?

The Short Answer

The best time to start treating male pattern hair loss is as soon as you notice changes. Here's why timing matters:

Why Early Treatment Works Best

• Prevents Further Loss:
  • Easier to keep existing hair than regrow lost hair
  • Treatment stops the progression of hair loss
  • Maintains your current hair density
• Protects Healthy Follicles:
  • Active follicles respond better to treatment
  • DHT damage can become permanent if left untreated
  • Prevention is more effective than cure

Signs It's Time to Start

Look out for these early indicators:

• Receding hairline
• Thinning at the crown
• More visible scalp
• Increased hair fall when washing or styling
• Changes in how your hair sits or styles
