Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We have separate formulas for men and women, each tailored to the different biological causes of hair loss. Our women's formula in particular addresses hormonal triggers like perimenopause and postpartum loss.

Professor Rodney Sinclair, Australia's most published researcher in hair loss dermatology. His patented formula has been prescribed to over 41,000 patients.

Most patients experience reduced shedding within 6–8 weeks of starting treatment. Visible regrowth typically begins around months 3–4. Results improve with continued use — patients who have been on the treatment for 2+ years report the best outcomes.

Hair loss will gradually return if you stop treatment, as the underlying cause of hair loss is ongoing. Most patients choose to continue long-term to maintain results.

The formula is well-tolerated by the vast majority of patients. As with any medication, individual reactions can vary. Your prescribing doctor reviews your full health history before issuing a prescription and is available for follow-up.

Your doctor will review any existing medications as part of your assessment. If there are any contraindications, they will advise you accordingly before prescribing.
