I am a 60 yr old female. My hair started thinning 16 years ago. The loss has been slow. I have used Rogaine for the past 14 yrs, it did not stop the loss. I had my first PRP treatment; can I wean off of the Rogaine? Stopping Rogaine will eventually cause a hair shed, but I thought that with the PRP jump starting the miniaturized hair follicles into life, it would not be too noticeable. I would love to stop Rogaine completely, but don’t want to jeopardize any hair regrowth from the PRP therapy.

Answer: Rogaine (minoxidil) treatment shouldn't be stopped after PRP-only injections so get the benefits of both treatments
When you start treatment for hair growth and you use medications or injections such as prp for hair growth in order to shed dormant hair you may experience temporary shedding. Combination treatment and sooner rather than later works best, make you don't have more than 15 percent hair...
