I've heard that if I stop Minoxidil all the hairs gained through this will be lost .suppose Ive lost all the hairs gained through Minoxidil. Now if I continue to take Finasteride ( life long),is there any chance to get back hairs on those areas ?
Answer: Stopping minoxidil and continuing finasteride All methods to reduce or stop hair loss work in different ways. You are probably getting a benefit from both the minoxidil and finasteride. If you stop the minoxidil you will lose the effect it has on preventing your hair loss. There is always a better chance of preventing hair loss by using different methods. Topical minoxidil (Rogaine), oral finasteride, platelet rich plasma (PRP) injections, and low level laser therapy (LLLT) have all been shown to help prevent hair loss. So if you are getting beneficial effects from both the minoxidil and finasteride I wouldn't stop either as long as you are not having any side effects from them.

Answer: Hair Loss -- PRP, Progesterone, Stem Cells/ACELL, Follicular Unit Transplantation (FUE), Spironolactone or Finesteride, Rogaine Yes, you can stop Minoxidil, but you may have increased hair fall. I suggest seeing a hair loss expert now 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

Answer: Minoxidil and finasteride If you stop taking minoxidil, the benefits that you are receiving from this medication will stop. Finasteride works via a different mechanism on different hairs. I recommend talking to and experienced hair restoration specialist.

Answer: Stopping Minoxidil The safe answer would be to continue using both as if you stop the Minoxidil then you are likely to lose the benefit gained from it. With combination therapy the science would support that Finasteride is doing most of the heavy lifting. In practice I have found some men able to discontinue Minoxidil after a time, while staying on Finasteride, and still having a good result. I would recommend you discuss this plan with a qualified hair restoration physician.
