i've faced dramatic eyebrow loss about 3 years ago due to pencil filling; my dr recommended minoxidil 5%. i haven't visited my doctor again. i've been using it for a year,twice a day. I have grown a fair amount of hair. but for the last three months i feel it stopped growth. Like there is no change from the last 3 months till now.
