I heard that if I have Male Pattern Hair Loss and if I start using Rogaine (Minoxidil), I will have to use it forever? Is that true, and why?

 

answertext

Yes this is true. The main reason for this is that there is no cure for Pattern Hair Loss. The underlying cause is a genetic disorder, and as such would require gene therapy, which does not exist. The medical therapies that exist, including Minoxidil, only reverse the effects of the genes and not the gene itself. Therefore, if you do not continue using the Minoxidil, you will lose the benefits of keeping the regrown hair.
