Hair loss Kuala Lumpur

Skyblue100
#1
Hello,

I'm new to KL and wondered if anyone can recommend reputable hair loss clinics or doctors where I might be able to get a finesteride (hair loss drug) prescription? I can find it online through Shopee but I'm worried about ordering a prescription drug through something like this as there are no guarantees with safety/where its coming from. Any help really appreciated. Thanks.

I have no personal experience but I do see hair loss clinics around. The therapies are long term and expensive and I have no clue what medicines are used. Not to disparage Chinese, but the Chinese community promotes various herbal and traditional therapies the results of which are questionable.

My advice is to learn the best treatments currently available in the world and then look for that same thing in Malaysia, and to not automatically believe local claims and adverts of which there are plenty. The basic problem is that many therapies are not approved by this or any government and thus any wild claim can be made.
