Combination Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia

Treatment Outcomes and Safety

• Initial improvements become visible at 2-3 months of continuous therapy with combination minoxidil and finasteride, according to Praxis Medical Insights 1
• Continuous treatment is mandatory to maintain benefits—discontinuation results in loss of gains within months, as stated by Praxis Medical Insights 1
• For patients seeking maximal efficacy, adding platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to the minoxidil-finasteride combination provides superior outcomes compared to pharmacotherapy alone, as reported by Praxis Medical Insights 1 and 2
• The triple combination (PRP + minoxidil + finasteride) represents the most effective evidence-based approach for androgenetic alopecia, with maintenance PRP injections every 6 months sustaining results long-term, according to Periodontology 2000 3 and Praxis Medical Insights 1
