Navdeep, since Minoxidil & Finasteride didn’t help you much, the best next step is procedural therapy (PRP, microneedling, laser, or transplant) combined with nutritional support. Acne scars also need dermatological procedures rather than creams for visible improvement.

In person consultation would be great option. Thank you

Navdeep you would need prp and hair transplant as male pattern baldness can’t be reversed with simple medication You can slow the process by taking Biotin 10mg daily empty stomach morning Follihair once afternoon daily post meal Consult a dermatologist in person

If minoxidil and finasteride haven’t yielded the results you were looking for in androgenic alopecia, you might consider other treatments. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is an option with some studies suggesting it may help stimulate hair growth. You could look into platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as well. It involves injecting your own blood platelets into the scalp to potentially encourage hair follicles to grow. It’s usually performed by a dermatologist or a specialist. A hair transplant might be more invasive but could provide a longer-lasting solution. For thinning hair, maintaining a healthy scalp is important, using gentle shampoos and products that don’t cause more damage. As for acne scars, treatments vary based on the scar type. Laser therapy and microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of scars, as they stimulate collagen production, helping the skin to heal and repair itself. Chemical peels, with substances like salicylic or glycolic acid, may also help in resurfacing the skin, improving texture over time. Consulting a dermatologist for a tailored treatment plan that fits your specific skin condition is key, as they can provide a more precise regimen based on your skin type and scar characteristics. Always be sure the scalp and skin treatments don’t interfere with each other. Prioritize consistency in your treatment plan but consult with healthcare professionals regarding any new therapies to ensure they align with your overall health and don’t have contraindications with other treatments or conditions.
