Hair Improvement Protocol Overview

Updated over 2 weeks ago

The Maximus Hair Improvement Protocol uses personalized prescription treatments to help support thicker, fuller hair. The program targets the most common causes of hair thinning with topical or oral medications selected by your clinician based on your goals, symptoms, and medical history.


What the Protocol Is

Hair thinning often results from a combination of factors, including hormonal sensitivity (DHT), follicle miniaturization, inflammation, and changes in hair growth cycles. The Maximus protocol addresses these factors using prescription options such as:

  • Topical treatments (e.g., compounded formulas that may include dutasteride, minoxidil, tretinoin, fexofenadine)

  • Oral medications (e.g., oral minoxidil or other prescriptions determined by your clinician)

Your clinician will recommend a personalized plan based on your needs and health profile.


How It Works (High Level)

The protocol focuses on supporting healthier hair growth by:

  • Helping reduce the impact of DHT on hair follicles

  • Encouraging thicker, stronger strands through improved follicle activity

  • Supporting blood flow and nutrient delivery to the scalp

  • Reducing inflammation and supporting scalp health

These effects build gradually and vary from person to person.


Who It’s For

The Hair Improvement Protocol may be an option for individuals who are experiencing:

  • Early hair thinning

  • Widening part or reduced hair density

  • Thinning at the crown

  • Gradual receding at the hairline

  • Post-transplant maintenance needs

Eligibility is determined by a clinician after reviewing your health history, photos, and goals.


Who It May Not Be For

Some individuals may be better suited for other medical or dermatologic approaches depending on the type and cause of hair loss. Your clinician will advise if a different treatment is recommended.


What to Expect Over Time

Hair growth is a slow biological process. Many people notice:

  • Reduced shedding in the early phase

  • Subtle thickening or new growth in targeted areas over several months

  • Improved coverage and density over longer periods

Progress varies, and photos taken over time are often the most helpful way to assess changes. Your clinician will review your progress to guide any adjustments.


Treatment Formats

You may receive:

  • Topical treatments, applied to targeted areas to deliver medication directly to the scalp

  • Oral medications, prescribed when appropriate based on your medical history

  • Combination therapy, if recommended by your clinician for additional support

Your treatment plan is personalized and may evolve over time based on your response.


Monitoring and Follow-Up

Clinicians may request periodic photos or follow-up assessments to track progress. These reviews help guide decisions about your treatment plan and ensure that medications remain appropriate and effective.
