Hair Loss Treatment Janice asked: "Dr. Proctor, Thank you for taking the time to answer questions. With Rogaine, there is usually a period (several weeks to months after starting hair loss treatment with Rogaine) where a lot of hair falls out called the "dread shed". For this reason, I've been afraid to even start Rogaine for fear that the shed would happen, but regrowth wouldn't. Does the same type of shedding occur with your products?.

Dr Peter H. Proctor, PhD MD answered: Everything that brings follicles out of dormancy ( which means everything that works in hai rloss treatment ) can cause loss-phase hair to fall out early. Our formulations are no exception. Somehow you have gotten the impression that this is common. It is not, happening only 10-15% of the time, at most. In any case, it is caused by follicles coming out of dormancy, is often the first sign that treatment is working and the hair was about to fall out anyway.
