General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Minoxidil is known to help in stopping hair fall and help in growth of new hair by means of its vasodilation effect. However, it needs to be used regularly for about 3 to 5 years to obtain satisfactory results.
What dermatologist has done now is that he has changed the manufacturer of Minoxidil. In addition, he has given Finax (Finastride), which is known to promote hair growth by its anti-androgenic effect. Its effect would be only known when used regularly as prescribed for about 2 to 3 months.
In case you do not get satisfactory results, it would be better for you to go for hair transplantation.
Kindly consult 'hair transplant surgeon' for further evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
