Clinical Efficacy of PRP Therapy, Minoxidil, and Their Combination in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia

A 37-year-old woman with androgenetic alopecia is using spironolactone, oral and topical minoxidil, and considering PRP therapy due to lack of progress. She is unable to obtain finasteride, dutasteride, or bicalutamide and is exploring other options like Clascoterone and RU58841.

The conversation discusses experiences with PRP, stem cell therapy, and PRF for hair growth. The original poster has used finasteride and minoxidil and is considering additional treatments for better results.

The user experienced hair regrowth after 5 months using Minoxidil and PRP treatment. They also took various supplements and adjusted their diet to address deficiencies and support hair health.

A user shared their positive experience with PRP and stem cell treatment for hair loss, noting it nearly stopped their hair loss after previous use of finasteride and minoxidil. Another user mentioned PRP helped maintain their hair, though its effectiveness decreased over time, and they experienced side effects from dutasteride.

Combining PRP with topical minoxidil 5% and finasteride 0.25% for hair loss treatment. One user reported success using minoxidil and finasteride with micro-needling, but not PRP.

Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841 are discussed as treatments for hair loss, with excitement around a new drug, PP405, and a reformulated oral minoxidil in trials. Concerns about cost, side effects, and long-term use are also mentioned.
