5. Definite baldness
View the pattern of hair loss that leads to baldness and where. Aminexil cannot reverse this process. In some cases it is futile to use Aminexil. If your hair loss if at an advanced stage and you are almost bald, then surgical transplantation of hair follicles may be the only option left. We do our best to be honest with you and not tell you what you want to hear if you are already bald. There are many products on the market, which try to convince you that your hair will grow back. Do not be tempted to believe in this nonsense. Remember "a hair follicle that has ceased to function will never do so again". Once bald, always bald - except in the case of a transplantation.

Results with Aminexil
If you start using Aminexil, you will see that the hair on the sides of your face and your temples will grow again. Your hair structures gets fuller. Hair on the crown grows again and hair loss is put to an end. That may very well be the best effect of Aminexil! Hair in the transition phase comes in the growth phase and gives a great result on the crown.

However, if you have any other form of hair loss, for instance bald spots on the scalp, this has nothing to do with hereditary hair loss. Most likely, Aminexil will not be of use.
