  5. I'm 25 and dealing with hair thinning and bald patches. My dermatologist suggested PRP and minoxidil for about 3-6 months. I've read that when you stop using minoxidil, the hair gains disappear. So why would the doctor recommend it for a short period? Will all the hair I get from PRP and minoxidil just fall out once I stop using minoxidil after a short time?
