Age-related hair loss

About 20 years ago I had breast cancer followed by a course of chemotherapy. The regime I was on meant I didn't lose all my hair but only suffered a little thinning. However, in the past five years or so, I have noticed considerable loss in the crown that shows up particularly when I am due for a hair colour. Although I am 76 I still keep to my previous brunette shade!

Is there any treatment that will prevent further loss or even generate some regrowth?

Many thanks for any advice you can give me.

Re: Age-related hair loss

Dear Sandy,

Thank you for your question. Yes minoxidil (Regain) lotion and foam can both prevent further age related hair loss and even make hair thicker. You can read about this on my website.

I hope this is helpful.
With Best Wishes,
