Can Finasteride help you maintain PRP results even after you stop doing sessions?

C

This is a question I’m pretty sure I already know the answer to, but I figure I must ask it just in case. If I regrew hair through PRP sessions can I maintain that hair by using Finasteride by itself of will I lose that hair after halting my PRP sessions? I figure that since they do entirely different things to promote hair growth I can’t have one without the other, but if I could that would really be ideal because PRP seems like an expensive lifetime commitment that I don’t feel like making.

The study performed with the Eclipse system used the injection technique.  Most physicians use the injection technique now.  The microneedle technique makes sense and is certainly an option, but there is no study that I am aware of which directly compares the two techniques to see which is better.

This needs an in-person evaluation. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like prp/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Based on what you are saying, this is a common reason to undergo beard transplant.  I would suggest posting some photos of the area to give us a better idea.  Other options include micropigmentation or combination of the two.  PRP would likely not work in this situation.
