Detailed Answer:
Hi

I am Dr V XXXXXXX a Sr Dermatologist.

Welcome to this website!
I have analyzed your situation regarding greying of hairs in the beard region.

I have examined and dealt with a very large number of patients with similar features and they have been followed up for considerable time.

The greying of hairs is a subject which is under intense research and as of now there is little to offer by way of medicines.

In good number of patients, I have seen that hairs regain normal black color even if no treatment had been taken by them.

A number of vitamins, including the preparations like Seregain and the like, have been tried but there are no conclusive gains that can be recommended for use.

However, there are some measures which must help you in the long run:

1 Avoid any chemical treatments or hair gels for the affected hairs.

2 Steroids also need to be avoided

3 Please take good care of your diet which should be rich in proteins and vegetable based foods and dishes

4 Observe the pattern of hair loss and keep a photographic record of the same if possible.


I am sure you will feel improvement by following the suggestions and it might take a good few months to see the effects

Our best wishes, always!

Brief Answer:
Results are not definitive to Altris

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Welcome back!

I have noted both the points that you asked.

You kindly be assured that trimming or any other such techniques in not proved to help in stopping of greying of hairs.

Altris results are still not so encouraging as to recommend it in your case.

I hope you will get better soon even otherwise and for this you might have to wait and observe.

With best wishes from us!
