I've used minoxidil and finasteride with good results. If I get regular PRP treatments can I quit both minoxidil and finasteride? Based on empirical data and the law of averages what should one expect? From everything I've read using all three PRP, minoxidil and finasteride yields the best results but I'd like to know what to expect from PRP only. Thank you.
Answer: PRP monotherapy vs Combination therapy? ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS NJ It's very hard to predict your response to monotherapy if you quit Finasteride and Minoxidil. Several factors determine the answer... Genetic predisposition, age, duration of hair loss, rapidity of hair loss, density of hair, telogen to anagen ratio, pull test, degree of miniaturization, amount of improvement on the drugs and whether your expectation is to retain hair or regrow. In general, PRP alone gives an approximate average of 65 to 80% results IN APPROPRIATE CANDIDATES.

Answer: Prp Depends on how strong your genetic factor is I assume you have either male or female pattern hair loss 30-40% growth considered average. What is good about minoxidil and finasteride is they are both fda approved. Minoxdil has been studied since 1970 and fda approved men and women. Long term good data showing that is grows hair. Finasteride is fda approved for men hair loss. Prp Although it is used clinically to this day and has good results still does not have that fda Approval as the other do, so it's hard to produce the same result as the others.

Answer: PRP Expectations Hello, thank you for your question. While there are many clinics and med spas now offering tons of different PRP treatments it doesn't necessarily mean they all know what they are doing especially for hair. Keep in mind that PRP is not a standardized procedure, this means that it can be prepared and administered basically in any way. Generally, when a medical professional who knows what they are doing is performing PRP treatments for hair you can usually expect to see a decrease in shedding, reversal of miniaturizing and thinning follicles, and an overall improvement in your hair quality. Based on the results I see in my practice using minoxidil, finasteride, and PRP does yield better results depending on what stage of hair loss a patient is experiencing. It is also worth noting that these treatments all work in different ways, therefore I believe it is beneficial to continue using all three should it be necessary. Hope this was helpful.

Answer: Reply to "Can PRP replace minoxidil & finasteride? What should I expect?" Hello I'm Dr. Wipawan Vathananai, a co-worker of Dr. Kulakarn Amonpattana, from BHI Clinic, Bangkok, Thailand. Personally, I don't think PRP can replace minoxidil and finasteride since they all work in different mechanisms in hair loss treatment. PRP will provide growth factors to stimulate hair growth while minoxidil increases blood flow to the hair follicles and finasteride blocks DHT production and maintain the hair.

Answer: PRP for Hair Regrowth: Individual Responses & Professional Guidance Thank you for your question .While PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments have shown promising results for hair regrowth, it is important to note that individual responses may vary. The effectiveness of PRP alone in replacing minoxidil and finasteride cannot be guaranteed based solely on empirical data and the law of averages. Combining PRP with minoxidil and/or finasteride has been shown to yield the best results in some cases, as per the information you have read. However, individual responses to these treatments can vary significantly. A professional opinion will provide you with a more accurate understanding of what to expect from PRP treatment alone, taking into account your specific situation and medical history.
