How efficient is aminexil & tretinoin in treating male baldness ?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Hair loss: Propecia and rogaine (minoxidil) are the only medications known to have a positive effect on hair loss in males. The other route is to consider hair transplantations which are done easily, totally naturally, are undetectable and have no donor site scars.
