FAQs
What’s the difference between DEFENSE and REVIVE products?
The BosDefense product line is formulated for those who want to help protect against thinning hair. It’s your preventative measure and the ideal choice for any preliminary thinning. The BosRevive product line is uniquely formulated for those who want to help restore visibly thinning hair. If you are seeing noticeable thinning and visible scalp, look for BosleyMD’s BosRevive DHT-Blocking products.
Is BosRevive STRONGER than BosDefense?
No, BosRevive has added benefits for someone who specifically has hair that is very weak and is noticeably thin.
Why does our hair get thinner and what is DHT?
Hair thinning can be caused by external factors (stress, UV, free radicals) and internal ones like genetics, health, medication, and sensitivity to DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). DHT buildup contributes to Androgenetic Alopecia — the most common form of pattern baldness in men and women. BosleyMD products help cleanse follicles and may help remove DHT buildup.
What is the Thickening Treatment and how do I use/apply it?
This leave-in treatment reconditions and thickens fragile hair. Apply to towel-dried hair after shampooing. Part the hair into three sections and apply a line of product from front to back. Massage into the scalp and style as usual.
What is the Follicle Energizer?
The Follicle Energizer is a treatment for low-density areas like the hairline. It helps support follicle health, protect from DHT, and contains scalp activators, Pentapeptides, Apple Stem Cell Extract, and Biotinyl-GHK to strengthen roots and improve scalp vitality. Use 1–2 drops in thinning zones daily.
Do BosleyMD supplements help grow hair?
Yes. The supplements contain DHT-inhibiting botanicals, Biotin, Niacin, and Zinc to support fuller-looking hair. They may also help improve skin and nail health.
What if I stop taking the Men's and Women's Hair Growth Supplements?
Results may reverse over time after stopping. Continued use is recommended to maintain hair health and thickness.
Does the Follicle Energizer help regrow hair?
It protects and strengthens hair but doesn’t regrow it. Only Minoxidil (in BosleyMD regrowth treatments) is FDA-approved for hair regrowth. Follicle Energizer supports scalp health and repair.
Can women use the 5% Men’s Regrowth Treatment?
Some women in clinical trials experienced facial hair growth using the 5% formula. The FDA recommends the 2% formula for women.
Will my hair fall out if I quit using Minoxidil?
Yes, if you stop, new hair may fall out again due to DHT buildup. Continued use — even once a day — is recommended to maintain results.
