Brief Answer:
Topical minoxidil solution and oral finasteride tablets
Detailed Answer:
hello. thank you for writing to us
I am dr.kakkar(dermatologist). I have gone through your query and i have noted your concern.
You may use minoxidil 5% solution (Mintop forte), 1 ml, twice daily at scalp skin with the help of a dropper suplied with pack.
In addition I suggest you to take a tablet of finasteride (Finax 1mg), once daily.
Minoxidil and finasteride are approved remedies for hair loss in males. Goal of treatment is to arrest or slow further progression of hair loss/ thinning and regrow new hair. Treatment is long term.

I have been trying the following solution for quite a while without any success.
Brief Answer:
Need more information regarding usage
Detailed Answer:
hi.
for how long?It takes 3-6 months for noticeable effect.
Are you also taking the tablet? Minoxidil alone is not as effective if it is not combined with finasteride.
If together these are still ineffective after a fair trial of 6 months you may opt for PRP i.e platelet rich plasma sessionss

Yes, it has been more than a year that I have tried the following solution.
Regarding platelet rich plasma sessions, can you give your inputs regarding the costs and number of sessions associated with the procedure. Also, as compared to FUT surgery(which was suggested to me by one consultant), how does it stack up?

Advice regarding hair loss
Detailed Answer:
hi.
FUT is a hair transplant technique and it definitely superior to PRP as it is long lasting/ more or less permanent.
As far as PRP is concerned it would cost anywhere between 3k to 5k per session. You can take 3-4 sessions every 1-2 months initially and then every 3-4 months for maintenance of improvement.
With both these forms of treatment i.e either PRP or FUT you still need to simultaneously continue with minoxidil and finasteride.
