The active ingredients in this formulation include Melatonin 2% & 17-alpha Estradiol 0.05% Topical Scalp Serum (Alcohol Free). Melatonin is included for its anti-inflammatory, DHT blocking and antioxidant effects, which can help repair and rejuvenate the skin. 17-alpha Estradiol inhibits the conversion of testosterone to the metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by suppressing 5AR activity. In addition, by inhibiting dehydrogenase, it reduces the conversion process of androstenedione to testosterone, resulting in a reduction in the synthesis of testosterone and DHT. Making this formulation an effective treatment for conditions such as Alopecia, Androgenic Alopecia and Menopausal Female Pattern Hair Loss. It is also a good alternative to using Finasteride or Dutasteride.

When Will I See Results?
It usually takes months or years for you to lose hair, so it can take several weeks to GrowBack. 80% of our patients see results within 3-4 months. In the rare instance, that the results are not as desirable as you want, we can increase the strength or add other active ingredients based on your hair health profile. The best results will come from continued use of your recommended treatments and are seen after 4-6 months. You will need to maintain the treatment for continual growth and reduced hair shedding.
