I'm experiencing some male pattern hair loss around my temple area and forehead, and I'm really curious about what I can do about it. Have you found Procapil to be effective, or is Capixyl the better option in your experience?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For male pattern hair loss, particularly in the temple and frontal areas, consider using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia) as they are FDA-approved and clinically proven to promote hair growth and slow down hair loss; regarding Procapil and Capixyl, both are proprietary blends with some evidence suggesting their effectiveness in promoting hair growth, with Procapil possibly having a slight edge due to its combination of apoptosis-inhibiting and hair growth-promoting compounds, but consult a dermatologist for personalized advice.
