Yes! PRP hair restoration and Finasteride can be used together for a more comprehensive approach to hair loss. PRP stimulates natural hair growth by activating dormant follicles, while Finasteride works internally to block DHT, the hormone responsible for hair thinning. Combining both treatments can enhance results and help maintain long-term hair regrowth.

Results from PRP hair restoration take time, as hair growth is a gradual process. Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements in hair thickness and reduced shedding after about 3-6 months, with optimal results appearing after a full treatment series (typically 3-4 sessions spaced one month apart). Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain results.

Finasteride is primarily FDA-approved for male pattern baldness, but it may also be prescribed off-label for women with androgenetic alopecia. However, it is not recommended for pregnant women or those trying to conceive due to potential risks. Women interested in Finasteride should consult a specialist to determine if it’s the right option for their hair restoration needs.

PRP injections are generally well-tolerated, as a topical numbing agent is applied to minimize discomfort. Some patients may experience mild soreness or sensitivity at the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a day or two. The procedure is quick, and most patients return to their normal activities immediately after treatment.

If you discontinue Finasteride, hair loss may gradually resume, as the drug is only effective while being taken. Many patients notice a return to previous levels of hair thinning within several months of stopping treatment. For long-term hair maintenance, a combination of Finasteride and PRP treatments may help sustain hair regrowth and prevent further loss.
