None: There's really no other topical or oral treatments for male pattern baldness. Perhaps the only other treatment is to see a hair implant specialist.

Androgenic alopecia: Hair loss progresses if Minoxidil & Finasteride r stopped. Alternatives include hair transplant, hair weave, quality toupee, or let nature take its course. Many consider a bald head a sign of virility. Other option very popular now is shaving head completely.
