Key Points
This work aims to develop consensus recommendations for using low-dose oral minoxidil and topical minoxidil in hair transplant patients with pattern hair loss.
Modified Delphi process for consensus-building
Expert panel discussions on treatment integration
Development of a treatment algorithm for patients
Consensus reached on the use of low-dose oral minoxidil
Topical minoxidil recommended as a complementary treatment
Adoption of a structured treatment algorithm for clinicians
Abstract
These consensus statements provide recommendations and a treatment algorithm for integrating LDOM and topical minoxidil into care of hair-transplant patients with pattern hair loss.
