Question: If I cut down my treatment after 1 year will the re-grown hair be maintained?

Question: If I were to undergo a course of 12.5 Minoxidil + Azelaic Acid to grow hair - could I maintain that growth with Propecia and or a Laser Comb combination or will the new hair disappear immediately after I stop using the Minoxidil? If the latter is the case…why might this happen?

Answer: In many cases, cutting down to just one medication will maintain the hair that has been restored from the combination of both medications but this is something that we usually advise a trial period for.  So after one year you could stop Minoxidil 12.5% + Azelaic Acid and see if the results are maintained from the sole use of Propecia - if not, you can begin taking Minoxidil 12.5% + AA again.

Remember that the combination of Minoxidil + MPG or Azelaic Acid and Propecia is more effective than just one of the medications so it is likely that even if the hair is maintained temporarily when one of the medications is stopped, the speed of hair thinning could increase relatively over a long period of time.
