View allI'm curious about getting glutathione injections and have a few questions. Whats the cost for the whole process and how long does it usually take to start seeing results? Is there somewhere in Pune where I can get them? Also, do you need to take these injections regularly or just once in a while to maintain the results?

I'm trying to figure out if procapil is really effective for dealing with hair thinning and a receding hairline due to androgenic alopecia. I've been thinking about using it instead of minoxidil because I've read that minoxidil can have some side effects. Can you let me know which option might be safer or more effective?
Procapil is a hair growth peptide that has shown promising results in treating androgenic alopecia, hair thinning, and receding hairline. It works by targeting the main causes of hair loss and promoting hair growth. It can be a good alternative to minoxidil solution, which is known to have some side effects such as scalp irritation and unwanted hair growth in other areas of the body.
