I'm curious about Hijamawet cupping treatment and its effectiveness for hair loss. Can this actually help with regrowing hair that's already fallen out? I've been seeing a bunch of YouTube videos about using Hijama on the scalp for hair regrowth, and I'm wondering if there's any truth to it. Is it worth exploring further?

Hijama therapy, also known as wet cupping, involves creating suction on the skin to promote blood flow. It is commonly used for various health conditions, including treating hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by various factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and medical conditions. For hair loss treatment, it is recommended to consult a dermatologist or a trichologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. There are FDA-approved medications like minoxidil (brand name Rogaine) and finasteride (brand name Propecia) that are commonly used to treat hair loss.

I've been using mx2 solution and Hairgro serum on and off for a year, and they worked well for a while. But recently, I've noticed a lot of hair loss again over the past couple of months. Could the medication be causing this? Should I stop using it? And do you think it'll get worse if I stop?
