Answer: If you stop using Rogaine (minoxidil) it will stop working. You have to continue using it or you will lose the hairs you gained

Traumatic incidents can cause hairloss. You will want to wait 12-18 months to see what grows back first. Then meet with a hair specialist to see how well hair restoration will help cover the scarring. Just try to be patient as far as regrowth goes.
