Mid 30's NW3 or so, diffuse thinner.

My dermatologist, who is well reviewed and I have a good rapport with, and recommended that I try minoxidil to start off with and possibly some PRP injections. Finasteride is potentially an option of course, but he suggested we try other treatments first rather than ingesting pills everyday to alter my hormones.

I don't necessarily disagree with anything he's pointed out, I don't want to f*** with my hormones either. But I'm also concerned that Minoxidil is sort of a band aid solution and the results will disappear as soon as you stop using it. PRP sounds interesting and I can afford it, so I think that's a reasonable option regardless of what other solutions I try out.

Anyway not sure what type of question I'm acting, I only want to take finasteride as a last resort but also don't want to get a bunch of artificial/short-term gains from minoxidil and years worth of hair loss rears back as soon as the treatment stops.
