Yes, you will lose your results if you stop using Minoxidil, gradually or not. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert to evaluate and go over your condition and provide you information about your best treatment options. There are great non-invasive options like PRP/progesterone and/or hair transplantation. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

There
is no set way to stop minoxidil.  Sure
you may taper off minoxidil but in the end it will not affect how much hair you
will eventually lose.

you can start to decrease the number of times per day, then use it every other day. And then two times a week to once a week, then stop.
