A member asked:

Does nioxin system 2 stops male pattern baldness?? or it increases hair fall? should i use it>

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Save your money: This product may make your hair look nice and even seem thicker but it does nothing to reverse or prevent hair loss from male pattern baldness. The only really effective drugs for this are minoxidil and finasteride.
