Guides

Treatment timelines

Hair is slow. These guides describe what studies report about the main options a dermatologist may discuss, month by month: the early shed, the 6-month check, the 12-month verdict, and what stopping does. They never recommend a medicine or a dose; a dermatologist decides that.

Try it

The only honest way to know whether a treatment is working is a consistent before-and-after. The photo guide shows the four angles; the app lines each month up on the last.

Heads up

StrandScout never recommends starting, stopping or changing any treatment, and never states a strength, an amount or a schedule. Ask a dermatologist about dosing, side effects and what result is realistic for your stage.
