Women and Folli-Fix: talk to a doctor first
Answer first

Women can use Folli-Fix once daily, but talk to a doctor first, especially if hair loss is sudden or patchy, you have irregular periods, or you are pregnant, trying to conceive or breastfeeding, in which case do not use it. A doctor can check causes like iron or thyroid problems.

Check the cause

Female hair loss has many causes, and blood tests may help.

Do not use if

Pregnant, trying to conceive, breastfeeding, or the scalp is broken or inflamed.

Questions

Why once daily?

That is the direction for women on this product.

Is unwanted facial hair possible?
