HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could understand that you must having hair fall history if you are male person then this must be "male bald head patrons" of course you can start the treatment which is given to your friend but remember that this treatment gives good result till you use it once you stop this you would find the hair fall again, this is not the permanent solution of this, hope this information helps you, have a nice day.
