These include: Stress Hormonal changes Genetic tendencies Medication Poor nutrition Aging Environmental damage Damage from over-styling or heat stylingThese factors can lead to hair breakage due to thinning of the individual hair shafts. Viviscal Professional has proven in clinical studies to produce thicker, fuller hair.

Are Viviscal Hair Loss Treatment Results Permanent?

Viviscal hair loss treatment can produce permanent results for some types of hair loss. If a temporary factor, such as stress or a hormonal imbalance, has caused your hair to thin, you can see permanent restoration of your hair growth after completing Viviscal treatment. If your hair loss is caused by an ongoing factor, such as an underlying medical condition or aging, you may need to continue Viviscal treatment long-term to maintain hair growth.

How Much Does Viviscal Professional Cost?

A one-month supply of Viviscal Advanced Hair Growth supplements costs $49.99, while a three-month supply costs $119.99. These prices may change when purchased through various retailers, and certain discounts may apply. Dr. Lombardo can give you an estimate of the cost in advance of your Viviscal treatment.

Does Viviscal Interfere With Other Medications?

Viviscal is considered to be a generally safe supplement, and there are no known interactions with other drugs. With that said, you should always consult your physician before starting any new supplement or medication. If you take daily medications or supplements, please speak to your doctor before starting Viviscal treatment. While Viviscal should not interfere with the effects of your existing medications, your medications may impact the effectiveness of Viviscal treatment. Medications like beta-blockers, antidepressants, and acne medications can all exacerbate hair loss and counteract the actions of Viviscal.

What is the Difference Between Viviscal Professional and Viviscal Available Over the Counter?

A daily dose of Viviscal Professional supplements available through Dr. Lombardo contains 50 mg more of the proprietary marine complex compared to the over-the-counter Viviscal supplement. Viviscal Professional also contains powerful amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients found only in the professional formulation. This combination works to nourish thicker, fuller hair growth.

How Often Can You Use Viviscal Professional?

Viviscal Professional is intended as an ongoing approach to reversing hair loss and restoring hair growth. Patients take one Viviscal Professional tablet in the morning and another at night, with food or water. It is recommended that patients do this for six months to see the best results.

Can I Take Both of My Viviscal Tablets at Once?

No. These need to be taken as a single tablet in the morning and one at night. That spreads the dosage across the entire day.

How Can I Maintain My Results?

Hair breakage and damage can be caused by over-styling, excessive use of heat styling, coloring, and extensions. If you can limit these types of treatments, you’ll help keep your new, thicker, fuller hair looking that way. For many people, hair loss is also caused by deficiencies in iron, biotin, and zinc. Ensuring you’re getting adequate amounts of these important vitamins and minerals also helps keep your hair stronger and healthier.

Can Viviscal Professional Be Used After a Hair Transplant Procedure?

Yes, Viviscal Professional is often used after a hair transplant to support the healing process and promote stronger, healthier hair growth. Because it works internally by nourishing hair follicles, it can complement transplanted grafts and existing hair. Many providers recommend waiting until initial healing has occurred before starting supplements. Always follow Dr. Lombardo’s timeline and guidance to ensure the best outcome and avoid interfering with recovery.

Is Viviscal Professional Suitable for Postpartum Hair Shedding?

Viviscal Professional may help support hair regrowth after postpartum shedding, which is typically caused by hormonal shifts. Its nutrient-rich formula can help nourish hair follicles during the regrowth phase. However, it is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you are no longer nursing, you can speak with Dr. Lombardo to determine if this supplement is appropriate for your situation.

Can Men and Women Use the Same Viviscal Professional Formula?

Viviscal Professional offers formulas designed for men and women to address their specific hair loss patterns and needs. While both contain the AminoMar marine complex, supporting ingredients may vary slightly. Using the formula intended for your gender can help target concerns more effectively. Dr. Lombardo can help determine which option aligns best with your hair loss type and overall health.

Will Viviscal Professional Change the Texture or Color of My Hair?

Viviscal Professional is not designed to alter your natural hair color or fundamentally change its texture. Instead, it supports stronger, thicker strands and improved overall hair health. Some patients notice their hair feels fuller, smoother, or more resilient as breakage decreases. Any changes are related to improved hair quality rather than a shift in color or curl pattern.

Can I Use Viviscal Professional Alongside Topical Treatments Like Minoxidil?

Yes, Viviscal Professional can often be used alongside topical treatments like minoxidil because they work in different ways. Viviscal nourishes hair from within, while minoxidil stimulates the scalp externally. Using both may provide a more comprehensive approach to hair restoration. It’s still important to discuss your full routine with Dr. Lombardo to avoid overlap with other supplements or treatments.

Does Viviscal Professional Help With Receding Hairlines or Only Overall Thinning?

Viviscal Professional is primarily designed to address overall thinning by supporting the growth cycle and strengthening existing strands. While it may help improve the appearance of hairline density, results for receding hairlines can vary depending on the underlying cause. Genetic hair loss, for example, may require additional treatments. A consultation can determine the most appropriate approach for your specific pattern of hair loss.

Viviscal Professional Side Effects

One of the advantages of Viviscal Professional treatment is that no serious side effects have been identified in clinical studies. Side effects associated with this method are generally mild and can be managed by taking oral supplements with a meal.

Potential side effects include:

Nausea: The inclusion of iron in the oral Viviscal Professional supplement could cause stomach irritation.
Skeletal issues: Joint stiffness or pain may result from Viviscal Professional, though this is uncommon. This could stem from excessive vitamin C intake. Patients may be advised not to take vitamin C supplements when using Viviscal Professional to minimize this risk.
Allergic reaction: People with shellfish or fish allergies should not take Viviscal Professional due to the marine protein complex in the AminoMar formula.

How Long Until I See Results?

The Viviscal Professional dietary supplement works from the inside out. Results typically develop as follows:

Stage 1: The nourishment delivered to hair follicles improves as the marine complex AminoMar is consistently used topically and taken internally.
Stage 2: Hair strength improves, which may be noticed as a decrease in wispy, thin hair.
Stage 3: Existing hair becomes denser, and less breakage may be noticed as a result.
Stage 4: Hair appears more vibrant and thick.

In general, these stages take place over a six-month period.
