View allI'm struggling with hair loss and was prescribed TricoMax to take one tablet daily. The thing is, the dermatologist didn't tell me for how long I should continue this treatment. Ive moved quite far from Hindu Rao hospital, where I got this prescription, so a follow-up isnt really possible. Could you advise me on how long I should keep taking TricoMax? Any guidance would be really helpful.
TricoMax, a supplement containing biotin, vitamin B, and keratin, is recommended for a minimum of 3-6 months to assess its effectiveness for hair loss, and it's essential to consult a dermatologist for personalized guidance; consider consulting a new dermatologist in your current location for a follow-up and guidance on continuing or modifying the treatment.

I'm really worried about these dark circles under my eyes. I've heard that laser treatment might help, but I'm not sure if that's the best option. Are there any other effective ways to reduce them? Would love some advice on this!
Dark circles can be treated with laser therapy, which helps to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. Another way to reduce dark circles is by using topical creams containing ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with adequate sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet can also help improve the appearance of dark circles.
