Is Anastim Advisable For Male Pattern Baldness?

Hello, i am a 21 year old male and i am using minoxidil-5% from the past 5-6 months to counter my male pattern baldness(stage-II) but recently i was adviced by my dermitologist to use Ducray s Anastim. So, does Anastim works ? If it does then how come there is not a single review about it on the internet whereas there are thousands of positive as well as negative reviews about minoxidil ? And, if possible, also explain how does Anastim works( i mean if it does) ?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of male pattern baldness which is due to sensitivity of hair follicles to androgenic hormones leading to destruction of hair follicles. It could be due to genetic factors and poor nutritional hygiene as well. Need not to worry. Yes Anastim is advisable as it is safe to use. I would suggest you to do application of 2% Mintop lotion and massage it in proper way. I would suggest you to consult a Trichologist and get complete examination done and start treatment after proper examination. You should take Biotin and Multivitamin supplements and take Finasteride orally. Massage your scalp with warm coconut oil. Maintain proper hygiene.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
