5.3. Expected Results Timeline

• 1-2 Months: Changes begin beneath the surface. Increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to follicles.
• 3-4 Months: Visible new hair growth. Thin, weakened hair is replaced by thicker, healthier hair with increased manageability and shine.
• 5-6 Months: Hair continues to grow thicker, denser, and fuller. Less scalp is showing through as thinning and balding areas fill in with vibrant new growth.
• After 6 Months: Significant improvements in hair growth, thickness, and vitality. Consistent use helps maintain strong hair growth.
