Long story short, I had really aggressive male pattern baldness, I started losing a ton of hair at age 16. I immediately got a prescription and began taking 1mg finasteride and 5% minoxidil. About a year and a half after that, I had a PRP session done and got a custom prescription of minoxidil 10% with 0.2 finasteride, on top of the 1mg pill I was taking. A year after that I hit a boom, and this last year, I feel like i'm starting to thin again, but have no idea where to go from here. Should I add dutasteride to my regiment? I heard adding 1-2 0.5mg pills per week of dutasteride on top of daily finasteride works. Or should I try PRP again? PRP is very expensive, and i'm not sure which doctor to do it with, if I do it. Any thoughts? Any advice appreciated!

Did you feel like the PRP worked at all? Did you do with Acell?

it sounds like you ddi well for a year and then started to thin again?
How long are you thinning? Can it just be a periodic shed I get those even with treatment.

Here are some alternatives you can research
RU
Derma rolling
dutasteride
topical spironolactone
some people use topical progestin (you have to research this though I have no idea if it works)

I'm not sure if the PRP worked, or if the success of the 10% minoxidil/finasteride was really starting to kick in. No, I didn't do the PRP with acell. What is derma rolling?

Its micro needling with a tool..people are doing it based off a successful study done in India where men used dermarolling 1x a week and minoxodil 6x a week.

Some people here have had success with it.

PRP is useless for hairloss. Just a bunch of physicians ripping of gullible bald men.
