If you use Rogaine for traction alopecia, you wouldn't have to use the product for life once the hair grows back—correct?

Asked By:jstubb in Loganville, GA

Rogaine stimulates blood flow. Does that blood flow help the follicles HEAL themselves so they grow hair? If that's how it works, once the the follicle is growing hair, it should continue growing after discontinuing use of Rogaine. Yes or no? The hair growth would prove the follicle is healed. With traction alopecia, baldness is the result of damaged follicles. Once they are healed/hair is growing back, you're good right? It shouldn't fall out.
