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.
