Answer: Understanding Hair loss and hair loss treatment options: hair transplant, prp and progesterone I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. You would need to continue using finasteride/minoxidil to keep results. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Finasteride and Minoxidil ; ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ Since finasteride and minoxidil work by different mechanisms, the combination of the two are synergistic. If you have a male pattern baldness due toandrogenic alopecia it is a good combination.PRPHAIRMD.COM

Answer: Combination Therapy Certainly the best available evidence for hair loss supports finasteride and supports minoxidil. I have had some tremendous success with the combination of oral finasteride and topical minoxidil. In fact I frequently prescribe the two together for young men such as yourself. Finasteride should be taken for life and its recommended that you continue minoxidil lifelong as well however I have had a number of patients who eventually stop using minoxidil while continuing with finasteride and still maintain their hair. Stopping all medication means going back to wherever you would have been if you had never taken any medication. You won't lose any additional hair than you would have lost naturally. A consultation with a qualified hair restoration physician is highly recommended.

Answer: Finasteride and Minoxidil Many patients use both medications to combat their hair loss, and they work together well. In general they are both considered treatments that once you start, you need to continue using indefinitely though. So I would consult with your doctor first, and perhaps try just one of them to see if that has the effect you're looking for before becoming dependent on two medications.

Answer: Use of Finasteride and Minoxidil at the same time Most probably you have a androgenetic type hair loss. I dont advice to use finasteride because of possible side effects and being under the necessity of using that chemical for almost life long to stop hair loss.You may start to use minoxidil %5 to thicken the crown area and stop hair loss.You would better planning to have an exam at hair loss expert for hair restoration surgery when you fell uncomfortable about hair styling or total loss of hair..
