    ongoing treatment to prevent disease recurrence after initial control

    Maintenance Therapy, also known as Maintenance Treatment or Ongoing Therapy, refers to the ongoing treatment regimen designed to prevent the recurrence of a disease or condition after it has been brought under control. In the context of hair and alopecia, this could involve the continued use of medications, topical treatments, or lifestyle changes to sustain hair growth and prevent further hair loss. This approach is crucial for managing chronic conditions and ensuring long-term effectiveness of the initial treatment.
