What Is The Treatment For Hair Loss?

Hi Doctors, I am a 24 years old male & have been loosing my hairs from past 2 years. Initially I took Minoxidil, but there was no significant improvement.So I stopped that.Now from past 6 months, I have been taking homeopathic medicine which includes R89. Now hair fall is reduced.But will I regain hairs completely?? & If so how much time will it take?? Please answer.....

Dermatologist,  's  Response
If you have male pattern baldness or androgenetic alopecia, then it is progressive condition and minoxidil is only temporary solution for this. Homeopathic medications will also help you till you are on those meds. Hair loss is invariably going to start after stopping the medications. What you need to do is make a plan and establish till what time you want hair on the scalp. If the time period you plan is somewhere in the range of 5-6 years, then you can take medications. If you want hair gain to last permanently, then the only option is to undergo hair transplantation. But for any conclusions, I must see some photographs.
