This article applies specifically to the Hair Improvement treatment plan.
Requirements may differ for other Maximus programs.
The Maximus Hair Improvement Protocol uses personalized prescription treatments to support thicker, fuller hair.
The protocol targets common causes of hair thinning using topical and/or oral medications selected by your clinician based on your goals, symptoms, and medical history.
Treatments That May Be Used in This Protocol
Your clinician may recommend a personalized plan that includes:
Topical treatments, such as compounded formulas that may include:
dutasteride
minoxidil
tretinoin
fexofenadine
Oral medications, such as:
oral minoxidil
other prescriptions as clinically appropriate
Combination therapy may be used when additional support is beneficial.
What the Protocol Is
Hair thinning often results from multiple factors, including:
hormonal sensitivity (DHT)
follicle miniaturization
inflammation
changes in the hair growth cycle
This protocol is designed to address these underlying contributors through targeted treatment.
How It Works (High Level)
The protocol supports hair growth by:
reducing the impact of DHT on hair follicles
supporting follicle activity and strand thickness
improving blood flow and nutrient delivery to the scalp
supporting scalp health and reducing inflammation
These effects build gradually and vary between individuals.
Who It’s For
The Hair Improvement Protocol may be appropriate for individuals experiencing:
early hair thinning
widening part or reduced density
thinning at the crown
gradual recession at the hairline
post-transplant maintenance needs
Eligibility is determined by your clinician based on your health history, photos, and goals.
Who It May Not Be For
Some individuals may be better suited to alternative medical or dermatologic treatments depending on the cause of hair loss.
Your clinician will determine the most appropriate approach.
What to Expect Over Time
Hair growth is a gradual biological process.
Many individuals may notice:
reduced shedding in the early phase
subtle thickening or new growth over several months
improved density and coverage over longer periods
Progress varies, and photos over time are often the most helpful way to track changes.
Treatment Formats
Your treatment plan may include:
topical treatments applied directly to the scalp
oral medications when clinically appropriate
combination therapy for additional support
Your plan is personalized and may change over time based on your response.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
Your clinician may request:
periodic progress photos
follow-up assessments
These help evaluate your response and guide any adjustments to your treatment plan.
