Can I maintain my hair with PRP, Minoxidil 5% Laser Light Therapy (irestore) and ketoconazole shampoo (2%)? Male, 29 (Photo)

Question

If I apply minoxidil 5% every night, get prp with the initial treatments of 3 for the first three months and maintenance treatments every 6 months with a laser light cap (irestore) 3x a week and once a week ketoconazole shampoo which I apply for 10 minutes before washing off once a week can I expect to maintain my hair for the next 10-15 years? I do not like the idea of taking finasteride

Your trichoscopy reveals mild to moderate miniaturization. In my opinion, Your goal of maintaining your existing hair is obtainable provided you continue your combination therapy. I would add a Microneedle roller to the Minoxidil 5% and try for twice a day. You may need to consider PRP maintenance every 4 months rather than twice a year. Good luck.

All of these options are good for those who experience hair loss but firstly there is no guarantee for the results and secondly, it's better to see a hair loss doctor and they do a complete evaluation to determine the best possible options.
