Asked By:Michael Ferrigno in Houston, TX

I have been using minoxidil for 1 month and I am on the shedding phase. I want to know if I can do 1 year treatment with just topical minoxidil and then stop it gradually, but start a treatment with PRP in my hair for at least a year to keep my gained hairs with the minoxidil. I think this hairloss is due to physical stress because I went out of my country to study, but will return next year and just want to keep the most of my hair while this 1 year passes. When I'm home my hairloss stop alot.
