Should I stop treatment because I am shedding after 1.5 years of Rogaine usage?

Question

Hello, is this normal? I've been using Finasteride and Rogaine for my frontal hair loss since 1/19/2019. Recently I've increased the amount of Rogaine I use x2 about 2 weeks ago (still not even a half of the Rogaine bottle cap) and I started shedding again. Is it normal to start shedding after year and a half of usage just because I increased the amount of it? Should I decrease it or should I stop completely?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I would start at home oral vitamins and growth factors with rolling. you may have normal shedding from medicaiton or from telogen, I suggest a formal consultaiton. start prp/acell or exosomes.
I suggest a formal consultation as there are a combination of treatments that can be done to improve har loss.  Oral finesteride has very little to no side effects in the majority of people; PRP/platelet-rich plasma + stem cells like A Cell help regrow hair and slow down the thinning process; rogaine and restorsea spray should be used daily; oral viviscal helps keep nutrients high in the follices as well.  Transplantation is a last resort but works early in the aging process as well.  A formal consultation and combination treatment is needed.  Best, Dr. Emer.
