Hello. Thanks for writng to us at healthcaremagic Judging from the medicines that you have been prescribed by your doctor, I think you most likely have androgenetic alopecia, as the reason behind your hair fall. You have been prescribed topical minoxidil by your doctor. This is an approved medication for this type of hair loss. Most patients do notice improvements once the treatment is started, however,the response may vary from person to person. Treatment may take 2-3 months to produce noticeable improvement. Therefore, you have to be patient and follow up with your doctor regularly. However, if I was the treating doctor I would have also started you on oral Finasteride along with minoxidil. While minoxidil is a non-specific hair growth promoter, Finasteride is an inhibitor of 5 alpha reductase which is the main enzyme responsible for follicular miniaturization and hair fall. Finasteride acts by inhibiting this particular enzyme and is therefore specific for this type of hair loss. The goal of treatment is to arrest the progression of androgenetic alopecia. Both Minoxidil and Finasteride are FDA approved for this type of hair loss. Besides, there are other treatment modalities that have become available for androgenetic alopecia e.g PRP. Platelet rich plasma OR PRP, is an autologous concentration of human platelets in a small volume of plasma has a higher platelet concentration (4-7 times) above the baseline. It is obtained from the patient s own blood after processing in an automated centrifuge and it is injected subcutaneously into the area of alopecia. The beneficial effects of PRP in Androgenetic Alopecia can be attributed to various platelet-derived growth factors causing improvement in the function of hair follicle and promotion of hair growth. Advantages of PRP: It is safe, cheap, and non-allergic and it appears to be a useful adjuvant in the management of AGA. To get satisfactory results, 2 - 3 treatments should be performed at intervals of 3-4 months. You need to use Minoxidil and finasteride along with PRP to maintain the improvement. I would suggest that you seek an appointment with your dermatologist and inquire in detail about the various modalities. Regards
