Chinese herbal medication has also been known to stop hair loss. As such, we might prescribe hair loss if necessary.

Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach and restoring hormonal balance and the function of the spleen, liver and kidney is important

One herb in particular is known for its ability to treat alopecia areata. He Shou Wu (Polygonium Multiflorum) is included in almost all formulas we write for patients who are losing hair and you often see anti-hair loss or anti-greying shampoo fronting He Shou Wu as its top ingredient

Q: What is the estimated duration for visible results?

A: Acupuncture is not a quick fix. Hair growth results can vary but it begins with correcting the hormonal imbalance that created the hair loss in the first place. It takes about 10 to 15 sessions. The specific timeline is as per your medical treatment plan, which you may check with your attending physician/therapist.
