Introduction
This report reviews the 12-month progress of a 40-year-old male patient undergoing treatment for androgenic alopecia, categorised as Norwood Hamilton Stage 4+. The prescribed treatment included HR23+ hair supplements and Minoxidil 5% for consistent application over a year.
Baseline Assessment
At the beginning of the trial, the patient displayed:
- Advanced hairline recession with deep temporal loss.
- Significant thinning at the crown.
- Noticeable scalp exposure in the mid-scalp region.
Treatment Protocol
- HR23+ Hair Supplement: Taken daily to supply essential vitamins, minerals, and nutrients for follicle strength and growth.
- Minoxidil 5%: Applied twice daily to stimulate follicular activity, improve scalp circulation, and combat hair loss progression.
Observations During Treatment
Month 1-3:
- Initial Shedding: Commonly observed with Minoxidil, as dormant follicles transitioned into an active growth phase.
- Crown Area: No visible changes yet.
- Side Effects: Mild scalp irritation, which subsided with improved application techniques.
Month 4-6:
- Reduced Shedding: Noticeable stabilisation of hair fall.
- Regrowth: Early signs of fine hair regrowth at the crown and mid-scalp regions.
- Hair Quality: Improved thickness and reduced brittleness.
Month 7-9:
- Crown Area: Significant regrowth, with fuller hair coverage.
- Mid-Scalp: Marked increase in density.
- Hairline: Limited improvement; regrowth noted primarily at the fringes of the receded area.
- Overall Health: Hair appeared healthier, shinier, and less prone to breakage.
Month 10-12:
- Crown and Vertex: Substantial improvement, with previously sparse areas showing notable density.
- Hairline: Some marginal progress, but not as significant as other areas.
- Shedding: Stabilized at minimal levels, indicating good follicular retention.
- Side Effects: No adverse effects reported.
Results Summary
- Crown Area: Excellent progress, with significantly improved density.
- Hairline: Marginal improvement; potential for enhancement with additional therapies.
- Overall Hair Quality: Thick, healthy, and resilient strands.
- Shedding: Virtually eliminated.
Conclusions
The combination of HR23+ supplement and Minoxidil 5% has delivered encouraging results over the 12-month period. The crown and mid-scalp areas have shown marked improvement, while the hairline remains a challenge. Consistent use of the treatment has led to healthier hair overall, with reduced shedding and increased density.
Recommendations
- Continuation of Current Treatment: Extend the therapy for another 6-12 months to sustain and enhance gains.
- Additional Therapies:
- Miconeedling: To stimulate further follicle activity at the hairline.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): To boost overall regrowth.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: For targeted hairline improvement.
- Regular Monitoring: Biannual follow-ups to track progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
