There’s no medication that will stop hair loss forever. I don’t have any polling data that shows what percentage of Rogaine users actually have perceptible or worth while results. It does generally take about 6 months to see some results. Note that there is NOTHING that will "fully regrow" all of your hair.
This is a great question as you are asking how long it will take to fully regrow all your hair. In our practice we offer multiple hair restoration options- from prescription topical medications, vitamins, red light treatment, to PRP to hair transplantation. All these treatments, before hair transplantation- all offer some degree of hair loss improvement, from reducing the progression of hair loss, to thickening hair, to growing hair. One thing all these treatments do not promise is to 'regrow all your hair'. This is a very important part of the hair restoration consultation process- to manage expectations. So the same goes for topical minoxidil, it can improve or slow down the hair loss, but it rarely regrows all the lost hair. Now that I got this out the way with, I agree with all the other answers below, it takes few weeks to see initial results and then you should continue with the treatment to maintain its effectiveness.
The effects of minoxidil generally take 4-6 months before results are visible. Close follow up with your hair restoration physician during this time is recommended. Best wishes!
Minoxidil will start showing it's affects after 3-4 weeks of usage. you can use it for 4-6 months without taking breaks.
The short answer is that minoxidil is not going to "fully regrow" all hair in any patient. Minoxidil can be a helpful treatment for maintenance of the hair, slowing hair loss, and possibly thickening the hair somewhat. Patience is key, as most any hair loss treatment needs to be used for at least 6 months to see a result, and preferably at least 12 months before deciding to stop. Hair transplantation may be a good option for some patients.Best,
Minoxidil can take 6-12 months to see results. Results vary, depending on the average person.
