Thinning hair at the crown and a receding hairline are often caused by male pattern hair loss, which tends to get worse over time. Using a stronger Minoxidil 10% solution may help, but if the hormonal cause is not addressed, the results might be limited. If you stop taking Finasteride, hair loss can start again because this medicine mainly slows down the process. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is another option, where your own blood is used to help stimulate hair growth. This treatment can improve hair thickness and slow down hair loss for some people, especially when used with other medicines, but results are different for everyone and several sessions are usually needed. Other options include restarting Finasteride with your doctor's advice, trying microneedling, or looking into procedures if hair loss is more advanced. It's important to talk to your doctor to find the best approach for you.
