Hair Regrowth Trials and Studies

​

While there is no cure for pCIA there has recently been two trials involving low dose Minoxidil which has shown success for some. It is being used off-label but maybe we will see a change in the near future as more studies and long term usage information becomes available.  

If you have been involved in either of these trials or have a story to tell if you have used Minoxidil under medical supervision and would like to share your story, please get in touch with us.​
