Will Minoxidil reduce hair fall and cause dependency?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

From history, it seems you have androgenetic alopecia (AGA), also known as male pattern baldness. In AGA, hair thinning and hair fall occur with receding frontal hairline and thinning on top of the scalp that is vertex. AGA has seven grades, and treatment partially depends on the grade.

Now, as AGA occurs due to underlying genetic and hormonal components, we need to start treatment for the long term to prevent hair thinning and promote hair growth. Take two tablets. Hair Revive two tablets together daily in the morning with breakfast for two months, 10 % Minoxidil + Finasteride lotion, and apply 1 ml daily at night on the scalp for two months. We might need to add more medicine depending on the grade, so I would request you to please share a photo with me so I can assess the grade.

I hope this helps.

Kindly revert in case of further queries.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Androgenetic alopecia is a condition that occurs due to genetic and hormonal components. In males with AGA, the scalp has hypersensitive androgen receptors, which is why hair thinning occurs. It is a chronic progressive condition, so without treatment, hair thinning will continue because we cannot cure androgenetic alopecia's root cause because it is genetic, but with treatment, we can suppress its progression. So when you stop treatment, hair fall does not increase, but because of AGA, you see increased hair after stopping treatment.

Also, Minoxidil and Finasteride do not cause dependence. Now you have AGA grade 2, so the treatment I prescribed is sufficient. However, treatment should continue for a long time, and you will see visible improvement after four to five months. Take Hair Revivor two tablets daily after breakfast for three months, capsule Vitamin D3 60000 units one capsule once a week for two months, and apply Minoxidil 10% + Finasteride combination lotion 1 ml daily at night for three months. Take treatment regularly. Do not worry; hair thinning will stop, and you will see the growth with treatment. Follow up in three months.

I hope this helps.
