I am 26 male. Experiencing hairfall for last four years and a major part of my scalp was bald. Now i have gone through hair transplant, and also i did PRP. But for the rest of my hair a dermotologist suggested to use minoxidil 5% when another one adviced not to use it as it has to be used life long and has some side effects and also the hairfall will return in case i could not use it for some time in future. And he suggested that PRP is enough. So can i stop minoxidil and PRP will be enough?
