Is it possible to maintain one's hair with PRP and Minoxidil alone? (no Finasteride)

WangMQ
Supposed that I'm content with what I have now, is it possible to maintain my hair long term with repeated PRP and Minoxidil ? I'm 24 years old with MPB. My hair loss started early but I started treatment early too. I've been taking finasteride and minoxidil for years but I've come to realize that finasteride has been building up side effects as to heavily influence my life. Therefore I'm looking for alternative treatments, among which PRP interests me. Any advice would be appreciated!
