Is Propecia a lifetime drug for hair loss?

Both Propecia and Rogaine must be continued throughout the time in which you are susceptible to hair loss to be effective.  Generally speaking, you are susceptible to age 65. If tolerated, these treatments are helpful and effective however.  Cellular therapies such as PRP have the benefit of having lasting effect and although they may be repeated in the future, they tend to last 18 months or longer with a single therapy in the right clinic.  The benefit is a one time treatment versus a daily application or pill.  However, there is also great benefit in combining cellular therapy with Propecia and Rogaine.  We used to treat blood pressure years ago with one medication and slowly increase it to max before starting another.  Today we treat blood pressure with low doses of several medications all at once- hitting in different ways from different directions.  The same can be said of hair loss.  A good treatment plan generally involves a lot of different approaches to be fully effective. 

There are two FDA approved hair care products for hair loss. One is propecia. Once you start using it? You need to continue lifelong, if you stop the hair will shed quickly.
