Minoxidil

A protocol combining Minoxidil, growth factor serum, and red light therapy resulted in hair thicker than Brian's early 20s baseline, starting from near-baldness. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for hair loss produced mixed results and is not recommended as a primary intervention, consistent with the scientific literature. Hair follicles begin diminishing in the early 20s or sooner, so waiting until hair loss is visible means significant follicle loss has already occurred. Applying Minoxidil 5% twice daily can significantly elevate DHT levels; blood DHT should be monitored when using this frequency.
